When does a 5 min job ever takes less than 5 hours?

At my age I bath in wd40 ...

Yup show season picking up pace ( better finish all the jobs I keep making for myself)

Idle hands ..... or avoiding other jobs?


Old tool kit .. wrong colour



Painted



Shadow foam



Cut to shape and setting out



All tools set in and mounted in boot

Second board down



Still bits to tweak and I have more shadow board for the tyre foam .....

New rear view mirror and sun visors

Couple of additions .

[longtimenomini]

In last couple of months I have had to replace :

Clutch
Brake master cylinder
Coil
Fuel pump ( wasn’t dead but flow wasn’t good, was replaced trying to trace bad running issues)

All these were the original items from factory , all lasted 48 years !!!!

Granted the car has only done 30,000 but it’s still impressive
