tough stuff hey?

Just a bit, will look like popeye soon!

Pick up the newly painted sunroof panel from the local paint shop [from a MK2] tried to talk myself in to taking the gear box off [clutch was slipping last year before winter storage] gave it up as a bad job , tackle next week maybe .

Is it still Winter
   :eh:

i have also scraped more underseal off.

i've used muscles i never new i had

Got a new hood fitted

new piks up find out  :wink:

today i cleaned the hood frame and painted it in por15 ready for fitment tomorrow.

Tomorrow i will be doing a gear oil change, linkage bush kit, door top trims on paulx's cabby.

Then wednesday ill be fitting a new pass side driveshaft, hub etc to a caddy.

Then i should have time to do some more on my own car!

i dropped the gti off to the garage today, its havin a new engine and a lick of paint :mrgreen:

what did i do to mine today……..


SOLD IT…..        :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

2 new front tyres... boooo

Friday i moved the Cab to his new resting place to be reuilt and MOT'd

Saturday nothing drove to work, got in a strop with my stupid heaters *note to self MUST order a heater switch*
Sunday i hoovered Madame out cos she was full of GRASS (WTF!) and little tiny bits of gravel and fag ash (oopsy!) and erm. thats it! nothing like you busy little boys!

Have just given an old fuel cap a new lease of life with my trusty can of satin black. Gonna have a quick lunch then go and jiggle the wing around to make it sit nicer then try and refit the clipper arch mius a couple of clips i destroyed in the removal process…i love 'no more nails' tape!  

she is now cleaned in side and out and it is now raining lots!!.... why you little...!!!

removed front wings, bonnet,  rear lights and a LOAD of sealer…oh and quite a lot of rust, but that just fell off. ops:  rusty old s1

Noticed i had blown a brake light on the way home. Took panel off to change it and found the cause of the electric hood not working properly. Hydraulic oil all over the place behind the trim. Oh well saved me searching for the problem and will be helping keep any rust at bay in the meantime!

Knocked the valve undone by any chance?

Thumb valve on the passenger was open any way as the roof has never had enough oomph to lift itself back up so had just left it open and going manually on the odd occasion its been nice enough to drop the hood. Leak is coming from the drivers side ram somewhere though  :dontknow:

There's been a lot of high gusts of wind and freezing cold rain here.

Been out twice to tie the tarp back down over the mk1. Last time just now and I piled a load of stuff on.

Rear panel is off and the car is on axle stands at the rear so I hoping that

A. The tarp does not blow away/flap like a bastard and get neighbours round.

or

B. A gust of breeze does not go in the back of the car and whip it off the stands!

     :twisted:

remember not to fill it to the max whilst the roof is up though!
