What you on about, I haven’t spent fifty four quid on my whole wardrobe, and I’m still wearing undercrackers I got for Christmas twenty years ago.

If I got my hands on one of them it would only be used for good, you know weddings, christenings etc........ ;)

What did i do...

I had my old man round to assist in removing the engine and dismantling it into its main component parts then removing both front and rear bumpers and rear seats finding out just how much welding is required to get to point where i cant see the rear back box through the boot floor. Most disappointing part of the day was finding the there isn't much of the 2 front body mounts left to lift with a body lift kit!

Dan.

I rebuilt the pillar to roof radio antenna. Proud of myself really as most would buy new or just junk it. I grafted a two piece telescopic aerial that was attached to a spring base one I had lying about and it was THE perfect fit. B) Saved myself 20 to 40 notes. :laugh:

:woohoo: result, how bad were they, I've got one that's split but since my 1.5" SPACER lift the DW has gone, so will probably wait 11 months till next MOT :whistle:

did you just count the no of threads or something, or have you had the tracking done again ?

Made a start clearing the garage out and 'sorting stuff' out.
Found a Jimny that I had misplaced. :laugh:
Got buried in a load of tents when I opened the back door!! :ohmy:
Will be carrying on with the clear-out every day after work this coming two weeks.
I might be able to make a start on it then at bloody last!!!

"Not before long!" I hear you cry.

Watch this space.............................
