What you up to this weekend? (I'm in Wales edition)

[HoTWire]

Hey Folks,

As the title implies I'm away from my car for most of this weekend, so not much car action for me.

I dismantled the drivers side front suspension again on the Sunny in preparation for reorienting the spacer in my strut. I hope to have enough time to complete that work on Sunday.

I also need to do some work on Retro Rides Summer Holiday and Retro Rides Gathering promotion over the next week, I'll try and prepare some of that if I get the chance (I've got a laptop with me! ).

What are you up to? Shows? Local events? In the Garage? Buying cars?

[MonzaPhil]

Banned from buying cars (probably forever) but with the occasion of my first wedding anniversary, I'm taking wifey away to somewhere without cars, definitely not near the Cotswold Motor Museum and not involving blasting around the countryside in one of the Monzas.

Hopefully it's all bacon sandwiches, cream teas and copious ale for me.

I need to sand the rust off this and give it a paint



Also need to source some new exhaust hangers, as well as giving the RX a good wash and polish as the 80s red is fading yet again :/


...Also just remembered I've got an MGB as well which I'm making next to no progress on at the moment

Finishing the wiring in the garage. Painting the floor. General tidying up and making space for the 2400kg lump that's arriving by truck next Wednesday and that I still don't know how I am going to offload......

[The Doctor]

Saturday a day in the barn, admiring my newly arrived wheels, try to get some tires on them and i might even try to fit them on the car, to see how they look.
Maybe doing some work on the Corolla again, to try and get it back on the road before all life on earth ends

Sunday there's a little event from the dutch Toyota club on the dutch/belgian border, so that's where i'll be on Sunday.

[PhoenixCapri]

Doing my first hill climb and hoping the Capri keeps working!

Bum in the mud motor cycle rally in Mersea, we doing a tool tent and trade stand all weekend

[mk14dr]

Fettle and wash the car ready for a local car show on Sunday, its only been going 3years but it always gets a strong attendance, so that should be good.

[qwerty]

Meeting up with a member from here on Saturday, might continue to try and identify the strong fuel smell.

[shagracer]

taking two of my Toyotas to Ace Cafes Incarnation show at Brighton on Saturday, i will be in the mkIII Supra and the wife will be powering the 4ltr V8 Soarer, the only bad bit of this little trip is i will be paying for petrol in both cars, still it beats smoking.

Helping a mate fit a 2L lump is his Mk1 Golf GTI, without damaging any of his very recently painted engine bay...

[keithyboy]

Changing the plugs and setting the valve clearances on my wife's CRV. I may also refit the coolant pipe clip on my Jag that I lost when changing the heater valve then found again when changing the oil.

[accord83]

a group of us are doing a 110 mile Drive it Day run on Sunday going from Lancs, into N. Yorks, Cumbria, back to Lancs. Should be interesting, the easy route is 9 miles longer, but takes 20 minutes less. Some serious single track action.

[Onne]

Treating the Benz' interior to a thorough clean, feed the leather etc.

[deanflowers]

Mot'd my 1986 XR2 with no advisories (it has only done 1400 mile in 18 months mind since its last MOT and had no advisories then either
