im on holiday uo north at the mo (without the zuke :bawling: ) but im still thinking of the next steps to take.

needs a good steam clean and underseal as half of whiltshire is still hanging on for dear life underneath. i can get it all done properly for around the 50 quid mark so thats cool. also gotta wire up the front spots and sort out a rear one as well.

could do with a lick of paint inside for a bit of protection as well if im honest.


some time next month ill be getting my 5 speed g/box and fwhs (thanks to the combined efforts of andyrew and scottie. cheers lads!) so ill chuck and clutch in at the same time as well.

there are a few little bits and pieces that need doing and tidying up but its all good fun!

cant wait to get cracking! :rockin:

I can't decide if that's great or terrible!
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I like it. Just hope the paint doesn't burn off.

yeah ive given it s good hoon to warm it up. seems to be holding well but I think time will tell on this one.

I done a few other bits last night in prep for the next day out.

diff oils changed. they weren't overly bad if im honest. a little murky but ive seen worse. u also chucked a moly slip in for good measure :thumbup:

next was a nice oil and filter change as it was slightly overdue.

then came the cibie oscars I fitted a while ago. all wired up and a nice heavy duty switch just above the fog light switch.
