What's happening in your garage this weekend ?

[Yatesy350i]

I definitely like the sound of Friday

Wife insists! Friday is always a night off. Oh, and I cook.

Planned to put stainless plate around the holes on the wing.

I can't help feeling that will look a bit naff and chavvy, sorry!

They were in an E Type Jag before I got them, but prior to that and them being done in leather, I believe they were in a Ford RS of some sort, if you look on ebay for Ford Recaro you will see some like them usually in grey cloth.

Likewise ... I considered a Griff rear end for the "Gredge" but it would have been too low so would be interested to see the route you have taken with the pipe work fella

Couple of pics to show the routing. Apologies for some of the welding. It improved as I worked towards the back.


Working on SS plates for around holes. Not sure if this'll look ok or not.

They look nice.

I'm hoping they will be comfortable for our French trip this year.

All the old S/S interior removed ready for the new veneer pieces from LCC ... they did a great job!







Radiator out with replacement ready - lots going on and to be done before it hits the paintshop 1st week March!

Hi mate...Is that a London carriage craft refurb on the veneer?..Or is that the original piece, It looks like a deep lustre...Cheers..Ziga

[deetes]

Doesn't look too chavvy, probably down to the colour.

Looks stunning. I'll add re-veneer on my list of things to improve in the future......

Swearing !

I Gave up on the free ALDI tt to start 2 stoke generator I had been given and bought a broken 4 stroker off fleabay which after fitting a cap and putting the governor linkage back together is now working so I have power in my unpowered lock up, unfortunately there was no power at all in the wedges battery....



The heavy duty jump leads where rescued out the boot and A quick jump off the skoda had her running on 6, then eventually 8 but then a big cloud of steam appeared as water was now pissing out of the broken water T piece. This was hurriedly fixed with a cable tie and moving the hose over the hole. I then left the car running and proceeded to clear all of the crap out of the back of the garage into the boot of the skoda. The SLK alloys I bought are back on ebay so I had to find room for a little birthday pressie I've got.



After 45 minutes I then stalled the 400 reversing back into the garage and then had to unload all the st I'd just put in the Skoda to get the bloody jumpleads out again... Grrrrrr

Hopefully the battery will recover I suspect the clock and immobiliser killed it, it was a new Varta Blue bought last year so I suppose it should be OK.
