What You Up To This Weekend?

[HoTWire]

Finally remembered to do this again, been a busy few weeks.

Plan for this weekend is more spannering on the Sunny, depending on what the MOT it is in for today comes back with.

I've also got a new web project to have a think about that is kind of car related.

Also I need to polish off and launch the Retro Rides Gathering site, which is long over due!


What car stuff are you up to? Big shows? Local meets?

Picking up my box and pan folder.. New car day is Monday ;-)

[tsoob]

Cleaning the heck out of the daily shitter Micra, cleaning the earths or replacing the key switch so it starts properly and flogging it off on Gumtree.

Oooh you holding off on a reveal? Or do we get a build thread?


tsoob that reminds me I need to clean the daily Subaru ... maybe start a thread on it, I fancy modifying a car that I can buy off the shelf parts for!

[slater]

It's only a daily but hopefully should be doing some interesting tweaks so will try and make a record for people who like tuning oil burners.

I ran out of welding gas last time I was doing weekend stuff on the Renault, but providing the bottle is delivered tomorrow I'm hoping to finish deseaming the roof.


If that goes well the leaking windscreen can come out, I can deseam the A pillars, repair the corners of the scuttle and maybe even get the new headlining fitted. Yes, my new headlining is covered in rabbits.

Would you believe... a different spark plug fixed my problem. Resistive spark plugs make less "electro magnetic noise" or what ever the guy on the other forum said

Having carb issues on the C4 so hopefully work in that; first swap the steering gearbox, draglink and tie rod ends on the W150. If this all goes well I have to rebuild the carb on the Cushman and wire the transmission on my 8.1/Alison Chevy.

After typing that I'm pretty sure I've overbooked myself...

[Battenberg]

Trying to stop the overrun on my MG as its getting embarrassing!

[voodoo57]

swapping vans over, mot today, then cleaning all the oil out of the rear where the engine fell over (Cheers Ed!) Then transfer seats lights roof rack, heater switches and mats then a good clean, in between band rehearsals, and going to Cambridge for a night! The red wine should be flowing by then!
plus deciding whether or not to sell all my mk2 Escort bits as a joblot or wait until the Ford show at Battlesbridge ?

[SmokeEm]

Hopefully get you all some pics of my new daily! Oh and drive it some

[iamgroot]

New discs, new lift pump & fuel filter, new rocker gasket to do on the P100, which of course means i will have to take it out for a test drive after, need to have a look at the passenger door handle which isnt working properly on the sensible family thruxter, also got to do a Costco run :-(
