Well m.o.t time on wed, been over topcats all day sorting the bits out that need doing, exhaust, lights, doors, brakes, wheel bearings all done, found a small hole which turned out to be a large hole which turned out to be a new sill so this is gonna get finished on Tuesday then i think she should go through ok.
Big thanks Tim, today wont be forgotten matey just gimmie a shout when you need a hand digging out ready for the garage pal.

That sounds like a hell of a day for a Sunday.Maybe you should call yourself superman in future.Ihave shiny polybushes too but toolazy to fit.Ishall have to knacker some first to motivate me.Hope weather is good.
 
New boot floor welded in. New rear brake pipes. Fitted 300Tdi headlights, definate improvement on the 200 Tdi ones. Just gotta buy and fit 2 small spilt pins and take it back for a MOT retest in the morning.
 
Well not just today but over the last month I have fitted a Raptor dash console with carling switches. Rewired the front fan, rear work lights, fixed the wiring for the rear wiper and started the wiring for the front heated screen.

However today I have fitted new, well new to me, speakers and stereo. I NOW HAVE MUSIC....... sooooo happy, not that I don't like the rattle of the engine but now I can listen to tunes rather then just on my pod. Headphones are good but only if there is one in the car.
 
got busy prepping the disco for sale to add to my 110 fund :)

checked the boot floor

looked clean enough but gave it a quick sand and blast with hamerite anyway along with the sills.

so decided to colour match the wing (its only been like this since about January), the original had a dent in the top.

Just got to lacquer it but wanted to give it a couple of days for the paint to dry properly and figured I can do it while the wing is fitted anyhoo.
