What's happening in your garage this weekend ?

[simonw98]

Moving on well

Wheels off and suspension on the way out ready for the Gaz Gold









Next job track rod ends being replaced

Hopefully we can then finish off the interior, full service and full fluid change then off to the paint shop

Bring on the good weather!!

Yes that is the London Carriage craft refurb on all 3 pieces centre, glovebox and dash - I can take some proper photos and post them if you want - really pleased with the job they did

Simon

Close ups would be nice...Im going to try to get them to come to the fest, They really know their onions..The work they do is fantastic..Really deep lustre and i believe they use English burr-walnut which has a really nice pattern....Yummy...I have the replacement veneers but will go for an LCC job later as it just looks superb!....Cheers...Ziga

Here are a couple of better pictures - As I said they did a great job very knowledgeable and nice guys!

Am I the only one to see the deep gouge on the left next to the gap for the stereo..

There is no damage at all they are perfect - its just a reflection!!

Look at the photo above where there is a reflection by the 1st small dial at the top then its not there on the next photo!

Look at the photo below - not a great photo but you can see there is no damage!

I'm Replacing the nearside outrigger on my 350i tomorrow - the offside has been done previously. Couple of other minor bits to attend to then MOT to get ready for the sunshine !

Looking great Paul...Are you going to have a cream interior?...Black wheels?..Bananas & Cream.... Im always comparing a Wedge to food...Don't know why???....Ziga

[pk500]

Black wheels with diamond cut edges ! Black and cream trim and black stripes

[gmw9666]

Stripped out some surplus wiring and fitted the new gear knob and hand brake sleeve

[B@man]

After changing both drop links on the "mini wedge" and it not solving the clunking noise we decided to actually start the winter job list on the 400 and after 3 hours we have made pretty good progress on getting the lump out.



Dad struggles with the OS manifold bolts (I got the NS which must be easier !)





Question : How do you remove the gearlever ??

[KKson]

Two new tyres fitted to front to replace badly perished pair, stupid fan heater intake hoses dangling beneath from spoiler cut back and removed, dash centre section removed and new fan heater switch installed (thanks again Karl). Veneer given a good clean up while I was at it.

I was dusting my supercharged 350i, while waiting for warmer weather:

Engine for my 390SE is waiting for putting together. Crank being balanced at the moment:

Hi Mate..You have some really cool skills...The seat covers look fantastic...International TVR Wedge seat trimming by any chance.. ..
The supercharged 350i looks awesome and the 390SE is a lovely colour...Cant wait to see them finished....Cheers...Ziga

Remove the bolt holding the pressed-steel cup retaining the lever...

I've just started post Xmas layup proceedings. New ignition amp on it's way, the drivers seat frame is being welded.

Had good crawl underneath - chassis is impressively clean but centre exhaust box blowing at leading joint. Possibly stick straight through on after MOT. Polish the rims back up and then who knows...

Hi Mate..When the weather improves ill be coming to your neck of the woods...Maybe cruise the coast road a few times posing and hit the titty bar for a nipple or two...Whoops i meant tipple...

Put some air in the front tyres (both lose about 2-3psi per week, porous rims I think).

Absolutely! We have a regular meet at the Halfway House (A128) junction on A127 - lots of yanks and cobras and other kits - big turn outs when the weather's good. When the weather picks up properly and I'm on the road again I'll put a shout out to invite all wedges as special guests

Could do a cruise from there to seafront and photo op.

Mark, thanks for your comments! Actually, I am quite happy with the result for the seat covers - being my first attempt to do it. This weekends I was sewing the heater elemets to seats. It will make open air motoring more comfortable during our short - and not always so warm - summer. Attending BBWF is something that itches me a bit, but I will have to see if it possible to get there...

Quite likely; our lass's SEAT has a tyre that loses pressure constantly despite the tyre monkeys having checked and refitted it twice.

I had a Honda bike once that had a porous wall to the camchain tunnel; oil would just appear on the surface, form a bead and drip down. Bizarre to watch.
