I’ve had this list in my head and on various bits of paper for a while but it’s not until I put dates along things I actually start to tick them off. So here’s a list, probably missed some stuff but this is the get it legal list more than anything...  And here’s the first item done, annoyingly slightly wonky but it does the job in about two minutes, and I’ve had these stickers stuck on my desk for about a year.  |

I’ve been tempted to ask you for a quote to do it, if you have the time and inclination do work for other people? |

Will have to sort something out some time. I wouldn’t really want ought to do the job, as long as parts costs are covered on something simple like that. Drop us a PM about it and we can have a chat about what works for you |

Drop us a PM about it and we can have a chat about what works for you I’d want to cover more than just costs! I’ll get it legal etc and then sort out a good time for it to be done that suits you and avoiding shows. |

I'm not sure it's art but I kinda like it - needs a bit of colour to break it up and give brightness to the vista |

I flipped everything over the other way and gave the hidden angles a grey primer coating and all bmx parts are now ready to wet sand which I’ll try to get down one evening ready to paint them over Easter weekend.  In Acty news... not sure if anyone remembers but I had to reroute my oil filler pipe due to my side panel change and it meant I had to crawl under the truck to top up oil which was a bit of a pain and I had a long hose running under the car. When I was stripping down the donor truck it struck me that if I could bend the pipe up I could access a filler cap from within the engine bay. Luckily there’s a guy local to me that does vapour blasting but also welds / repairs such items. I dropped one of my spare heads off on Thursday or Wednesday? I forget. Anyway.... Before...  My doodles on a photo to explain change required...  I’ve just had this photo back...  |

So today I was meant to get stuck in to a few bits on the acty. I got everything out...  I took the remains of an old cv boot from the latest donor Acty to use to measure...     I had to get cash out to pay for the work on my cylinder head and agreed to go to the supermarket for a few bits while I did. I also agreed to pick something up for mrs minty from a shop near to the place that did the cylinder head so did that. Picked up the cylinder head. Before and after...  Another angle ...  I got back after a chat with the guy only to find that there were two of mrs Minty’s items I hadn’t picked up so a row and storming out later by the time I was back with the extra items it was 12:30 and I had to have lunch and couldn’t be bothered to get into scruffs to get under truck. I just cut the boots ready to do the job tomorrow instead...  I checked the instructions which made me smile.  Hopefully I won’t get stuck to the Acty tomorrow! I soaked the bike chain and handle bar clamp bolts in vinegar to de-rust them...  Just waiting for the lotus wheels to be picked up now. |

Urgh, stickyboots. I wouldn’t waste your time personally. If you can’t remove at least one end of the shaft (you can remove the gearbox end to do this) and use a stretchy boot and cone at the very least I wouldn’t bother doing it. Those glue things just don’t last.
