changed the oil and filter, gave her some new sparking plugs and some more screenwash.

Then went for a drive, overheated it stuck in traffic, then went for a very interesting and fun drive down some snow covered country lanes, and took some pretty cool photos.

Built the bottom end of my engine. Spent ages getting the crank and cam end float right. Oh yes, drank coffee, and visited the body shop where the shell is being sorted. All in all a productive day.

Finally got a working keyboard so I can post again yay :) Anyway here is what I did Boxing Day

Nice shiney alloy rad and silicone hoses from Mini Spares. I didnt need a new rad but I saw this and just had to have it. I think I must have been a Magpie in a former life as any shiny engine bay parts and I just got to have them. Also fixed my strobe light effect passenger sidelight, and gave the engine bay a good clean.
