Gave it a quick wash over yesterday as it was more of a grey colour than burgundy plus I don't think I've cleaned it for a few months anyway ;D Also had to charge the battery [after having to buy a new charger  ] as it's been sat there as been off work since week before xmas!!!! Been meaning to go out for a B-road drive but so far ain't got round to it  Plus there's the other ''bigger'' jobs that have to be done sometime which keep getting put off & don't even mention the house extension  |

Following on from TopTaff's earlier statement, I'm pleased to report all three cars (HA van, 244 and Cortina) are sitting outside, gleaming. Meanwhile the HC isn't - I just can't be bothered with it....

No I just need to save up enough cash to actually buy a car. Sitting here in front of the PC is a good thing, because I'm not spending money except on the electricity. Perhaps I could sit in the dark with the heating off and my coat on.

Biggest problem I have at the moment seems to be deciding what to do/being arsed to do it..... ;D The Sceptre will need the O/S outer sill repairing or replacing fo the MOT, plus a few other bits possibly..... Got to decide whether to just patch it up and go for the rat look.... maybe swap the 1.6 for 2.0.... Got to change the oil & filter and fuel filter on the OH's Astra..... and the sump gasket (again... ) and maybe tidy up the wheelarches Still trying to to decide what to do with the Skoda..... I think my problem is I'm indecicive.... or maybe not.... I don't know really..... ;D |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault. |

I have SOOO much to do on the Merc: Straighten crash damage on the front end. Paint rattle can matt black. Rebuild 4.5 V8 or find another one. Attach turbos and related turbo gubbins. Drop the thing on my foot again (that really hurt). Give the autobox a service. Take out 2.0 lump and gearbox. Chuck in new V8 and auto box. Sell 2.0 engine and gearbox. Build Megasquirt ecu. Build and install related EFI gubbins. P*ss about with the propshaft. Curse at engine when it doesn't fire. Unhook everything, re-check and re-attach. Curse at engine when it doesn't fire. Start it. See how fast it goes. Mot it. Drive it to RCS (July 4th, 2035). Not a lot really!   |

I always seem to find an excuse not to go in the garage. The usaul excuse being I'm to tired as I work shifts. I will get in the garage this weekend as I'm not back at work till Tuesday.

I'm quite proud of myself too! - despite the bitter weather, I went out and started taking the front end to bits for some fettling with a hammer and some dollies. The words "Drop in the ocean" spring to mind.... |
