Saturdays!

[wooly350i]

Aint it just typical, you spend ya Saturday sorting out what you think you need and you've gotta wait until Monday befor you can start phoning around for the parts, that's the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday pacing up and down waiting to get on the phone!

My car is sliding further into the background of my weekends as time goes by: what with my social secretary making arrangements and my mother's Stilo's airbag problem, I can't seem to get a good run at any of the jobs that need doing. List includes:

Find some A-frame bushes (still!)
Weld chassis crack, finish chassis clean and repaint
Reinstall propshaft and exhaust
Blast and paint A-frames, diff carrier, hub carriers, tie-rods
Weld leak in n/s fuel tank, clean and paint tanks
Remove o/s sill, clean up sill tube rust, repaint
Reassemble rear suspension and drivetrain
Rebuild rear brakes (again)
Fix coolant leak (might have to be a new thermostat housing)

...and that's what I can remember off the top of my head

'Fraid not, if I make it to the Fest at all I'll either be on the bike or in Dix's passenger seat (if he remembers )... too many weekends already booked and three months pipeline repair work due to start in Gosport at start of July. So by the time I get home on the weekends I probably won't feel like doing more graft.
On the plus side I have just located a bush that is very close to the correct size for the A-frames, might just need a tickle on the OD, have emailed for prices.
