Picked up woggle from the garage and used my disco to tow some tonne bags of sand round the yard to make space for gerald and woggle to rest
 
Changed Transfer box oil .. looked good! Well, still brownish, very few whiskers on the magnet and lots of it still in, despite what appears to be a leak between transfer and main gearbox, I suppose it's a seal gone!

Engine and Gearbox oil change tomorrow, if time allows .. ;)
 
Cleaned, greased up and resealed my front sunroof, fixed the motor too. Put in my passenger side carpet and fixed the window motor there aswell. That's it until weekend, going to do a sill repair and rear body mounts. And then new rear door shuts and boot floor next week. That leaves me with an inner wing to do and shes rust free :eek:
 
Stripped the top of engine down, Skimmed the head, new valve seals, re seated the valves, new head gasket, new crank seal & cam oil seal. new cam belt and pullies, new rad, hoses, cleaned out the intercooler and plenum chamber, new exhaust gaskets! Now the bloddy thing isn't running as well as it did when it had a blown head gasket! Think the fuel pump cam is out!:mad:
 
moved the series onto my driveway...drove it sat on the fuel tank as seats and box were in the back..........now I know how pikey feels behind the wheel :D

put the seatbox in after much banging and swearing.
 
Been picking sunflowers.

Felt my accelerator cable snap whilst towing a trailer full of rubbish to the local tip. I managed to find a bit string in said rubbish and tied it to what was left of the cable and run it over the servo and down to the linkage. I had just enough accelerator to get her home at max. speed of around 30mph. Ah well, off to Bearmach in the morning!
 
Nearly crashed it, my electric seat came alive and crushed me against the steering wheel while doing 70 and the traffic decided it was stopping.
