Changed the alternator, belt and coolant temp sensor. Had to remove the manifold to do the sensor as the old one was about 1'' longer than it should have been.

Did this a couple of weeks ago.... spray the bolts with loads of WD40 and leave for a while for it to soak in.

i spent the day in the garage with the missis, she has been assisting me on a 4 day turn-around im hoping to do on a car we got yesterday.

4 days to strip the car externally, do some small welding repairs, strip the interior, paint the foors, retrim the door cards, prep and paint the outside, fit new bright work, refurb the wheels, and get it ready for sale again.
