Getting a new tyre fitted to my sr! It puts it back on the road so well chuffed
Getting a new tyre fitted to my sr! It puts it back on the road so well chuffed
i sorted our trusty old dumper truck today, it had been royally abused by various staff members who think the magic trade-in fairy is getting us a new one...it had its steering column pulled out of the steering box, shagging the column & the steering box seal in the process, its been thrashed from cold, with no attempt at cleaning any muck off it, and its aircooled, so one of the heads blew a gasket.
so i rebuilt the steering, fitted a new replacement column i found for £70+vat, when the genuine ones are more like £300
pulled the blowing head off, cleaned it up, fitted a new head gasket & shims!!!!, if you want to see a crazy engine, look at a lister
took all the outer panels off, straightened them by hitting them with a digger, put them back on..
used the gas on the drawbar to straighten it cos the digger couldn't reach.
sawed the tailpipe off the exhaust cos someone flattened it..
so our pile of [s]crap is now worth several grand & ready to go out on hire again.
like TJ once said, i really need to get a copy of the 'A team' music for when we get spannering.. i love workshop saturdays
32 miles with the retro boys round the don river in doncaster, start point was the prison so we entitled the ride 'Escape from Doncatraz'

Consecutively catching 3 wasps under up-turned pint glasses in the pub garden, then before leaving turning every other glass upside down and watching the barmaid gingerly play the game.
I'm easily amused though.

oh, and this morning, i finally got to use my fathers day gift.. i went to the turkish barbers shop & had a full hot towel shave with a cut-throat razor... it was remarkably relaxing & i'll be doing it again if i actually get invited to anything vaguely posh
