So, i did a little bit on the wagon. Found some gokart wheels local on fb marketplace and the guy dropped them off (Keeping a good distance) and mocked them up Wheels had been sitting for some time in the seller garage. (Yes i have a shag rug in the garage) I'm not sure on the fronts yet, i might go for something a bit thinner, they have 2 bearings in each wheel inner and outer, all were stuck. But managed to loosen them with WD and some heat. Got them turning nicely albeit a little crusty. But then when i went to put them on a tube i recylced from an old lamp found they had different inner diameters? One was 17MM and one was 15MM So i pushed the bearings out and ordered some new ones. Still not sure if i will be keeping them long term. Crusty inner edge bearings.

I have a Radio Flyer, always wanted one, then realised I didnt really have a use for it so currently it's a doll hauler for the daughter. Used to tow my old one behind my Raleigh Chopper about 15 years ago hauling curse word about, made a right racket goin down the road Oh this thing is loud! A missing screw and a couple loose ones didnt help the rattling on those hard plastic wheels! First thing to do is get some air filled tyres and reduce the vibration based rattling! Jake

Bought a toy ive been wanting to get for a while. Went to the Southern NSRA swap meet last weekend and bought myself a little project. I was looking for a Radio flyer but this is almost the same. MTD 500 Wagon I think its a 1950's wagon. But could be any age up to about 1970 when they added more plastic parts (From my limited research) if anyone knows better please let me know! I'm not planning to do anything with it for a while, but though id share and keep this as a place holder. Going to keep the paint as is, maybe brighten it up a little and clear coat it with patina. And replace 'running gear'

Carpet down in the garage makes things alot nicer. Especially when working in the winter.
I picked up enough carpet tiles to do my large single garage 1.5 times out of a skip from an office clearout where i was working a few years back.
And recently my mum gave me an old shag rug she was throwing out.
Garage looks good, I'm not a bike guy but that lift looks super handy

You still need to tax it yearly. I just got my 78 capris tax through to sort out (nil) was in the price. When it becomes tax exempt in april head down to the Post office and they can sort it out for you. You need a V112 form and they post that off to the DVLA, you will get a new V5 with historic marker.

I always thought VAT Numbers applied to self employed/business owners? which i am neither. and for work is nothing to do with motor trade. which is a shame as the discounts on some stuff look good enough to be worthwhile. If you don't feel confortable blagging it there and then, prep before hand. Rub some dirt on your face. Wear garage clothes You don't need to have a VAT number, if they do ask you... make one up. Say you work for Milk restoration services based from your home address. Show a pile of receipts for anything motor related. Oil, battery. If you don't have any. Make some and print some up. This isnt your usual store but you go into Halfords everyday. They don't grill you that hard. Pick the youngest looking college kid and say your boss told you, you need it today. Jake

As above Halfords I have a really nice set from Costco from a few years ago with lifetime warranty. But i don't think they sell the same set anymore, not sure how that warranty will work if i do break something If i lose anything i usually go halfords stuff now. I have some nice spanner sets and replaced the odd socket here and there with their stuff. Usually when on offer Bought 2 of the small socket sets usually £40 for £15 each with an offer and a discount code Throw them in the boot of the old Fords, just incase. I had an email recently for my trade card for the new 175 advance set £250 usually but with trade card £160 Or £13.34 a month for 12 months 0% APR www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/socket-sets/halfords-advanced-175-pc-socket-spanner-set?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Email_one_time&utm_campaign=FY20_WK41_BAU897_Gold&utm_identifier=You can get a trade card with a couple smiles and some gift of the gab there and then without any paperwork.

I'm looking at buying a house at the moment.
And ive only ever seen a couple of pictures of the internals of the garages and ive looked at thousands of listings.
I found one house that i was intrested in and had a single garage at the front of the house with a driveway.
It mentioned this in the advert and you could see the garage from the front picture of the house.
There was than a double length double width garage at the back of the garden. But were no pictures of the garage and the only thing listed in the advert was "large double garage at rear of property" No pictures!
Its a massive selling point for many people, but estate agents just seem to mention it as an after thought.
Ive been to view a bunch of houses and have had to ask to see the garage I'm never offered when being shown round. One place didnt even have the keys to open it up!

I use Lancaster multi car policy, it cost me £300 for 3 cars. Different limited mileages, stored in different places, some mods.
Thought that was pretty reasonable

If it is a Ford part, they usually have a number stamped in to them to help identify when it was first made at least And then you also have a number to use google foo with to help find out what it came from Unfortunately thats the best image i have of one! I don't have one in person to google a part number! Jake
