hello all
so if you recall i bought a lifelong ambition, a military 109. What have i done since?
1 - both front footwells sanded back to metal, applied a couple of coats of hammerite then applied some waterproof invisible glue. again 2 coats. I did this because, as we all know, when it rains outside, it also rains inside thorugh the doors, hopefully if i get any more puddles inside, at least the floor is protected.
2 - I fixed the indicators! woo hoo...the offending article was teh flashing unit. 33quids from ebay did the trick. and i am so delighted on how easy things are with this. mostly a few screws and bolts away.
3 - i have replaced the passenger door seal.i ran out of daylight to do the drivers side. i also (rightly or wrongly) put some clear sealant at the top corners as it seems to leak from there. i am now hoping for some rain to see if i get any leaks on teh passenger side. then the plan is to do the same on the drivers side.
4 - As there is no cigarette lighter, i took it upon myself to install a dual USB charger with an on/off switch. Seems to work OK.
to do:
1- replacing the speedo cable. i am still waiting for craddocks to send them. i have to say, not overly impressed with the speed of things. almost 10 days and the order is still being processed. GRRRR..
2 - buy self adhesive soundproofing and plaster it inside and sort out the back. remove the tatty carpet, give it a proper clean and decide what i am going to do with it. i know this is likely to cause up some stir, as its really not with innkeeping, but i want to treat the floor fully, soundproof it, then install nice oak T&G floor. not decided yet.
3 - many other thousands of things, but the above two are my shot terms things to do....
on 1st Jan '25, i will be able to apply for MOT and TAX exemption. Is this a painful or a pain-free process? I am siting down.....hit me with it. will they ask for one last MOT?
here is Daisy, once again....
