cleared the inside out, secured the stove, was rattling like mad...hoovered out all this grass seed that i spilt in august.
Found grass growing in it,..
looked into way of applying it to my head,
put some twotish stickers on it, and tried to convince myself that they were ok.
Stored all my tools,fluids and artefacts in a methodical and practical way, utilising spaces and bungess.
Am now off to take bends and corners at speed.

Jetwashed the mud from the engine bay thats been there the last month, and left the engine running and the heater on full for over an hour, to dry out the passenger footwell carpet, as there is no chance for them to dry out naturally in this weather.

Now my boot is all finshed I can hopefully replace all the trim and have a dry car.

I cant see were the water has come from but I think the sunroof was left a little open a while ago and it let enough in to soak the carpet, and it has just not been able to dry recently.

Hopefully no more wet windows inside.

I also need to replace the rubber round the rear side window as the rubbers have split in the corners, is this a nightmare of a job?
 
took the headlights out, put new bulbs in, fcked off the beam height motor things(knackered), swapped fittings/mounts around on back(knackered again) so i coiuld remount them securely.
remounted them securelyish, got a by a new hlight really i think.
 
readjusted my steering lock stops but it still catches on one side when fully adjusted out so gonna have to weld a nut on the bolt or get a new bolt
 
tok the drivers seat out and offered up the bucket seat that is to replace it, took the nearside rear wheel off and put i t in the back of my van to have the tube changed in the morning, opened the bonnet and then shut it again
 
watched in disgust as my disco spat out its psf for the umteenth time from the steering box i must of pinched the seals or its just k nackered
