Jobs for the holidays

[adam quantrill]

Well I just sat down and made a list of little niggles with the Wedge, and things I want to get fettled.

Nothing that stops me using the car... but it comes to 13 jobs so far and counting! Just added another while typing this - 14 then.

So I reckon I'll be getting my hands a bit greasy between Xmas and the New Year.

Oh dear Adam...You just reminded me of my.."To-do-list"...Which incidentally is now bigger again than my "Done list".....

1. Re-trim the Wedge...Again but this time properly..
2. Sort out the rotten window channel...And it is rotten!!...
3. Sort out the leaky input & Output diff seals........
4. Sort out the paintwork.
5. Tidy the boot...
6. Sort out the illumination on the gauges so that i can see what speed I'm doing if I need the speedo at night....Which i have done and not had...;(
7. Sort out the spare Targa panel so I can use the car in the shyte rainy seasons without fear of the "Top gun" experience...Which was good the first second but then shyte the next few months...
8. Sort out the ever enlarging "V" between the passenger door and the body..
9. Fit some new springs to the rear as my bed has more give in it...
10. Make the exhaust louder...

Ha ha coincidentally my job number 13 is - make the exhaust quieter! (There's a small hole in a manifold.)

The Wedge = Yin Yang



"To-do becomes done and done becomes to-do" and so is the circle of Wedgelife...

Jobs to do.

1. Get the engine and GB out for the GB input shaft bearing refurb.
2. Replace all UJ's.
3. Sort out all oil leaks.
4. Bling up the engine bay.
5. New coolant hoses.
6. Put it all back together.

I suspect most of the above will still need doing this time next year! As the thought of it being off the road for a few weeks. Is depressing.

But you never know. I have the Outlaws down for at least 4 days over the Christmas period. So the garage may be my new home :-).

I was thinking exactly the same. Wife's family is here all Christmas so escape plan needed.

[wedged up]

My escape plan is quite simply my car ' Get in it and drive away

[adam quantrill]

Take your tools too - for some car park fettling ;^)

I just thought of another 2 jobs so the list is still growing....
