Re: What did you do on your car today?
Today, I didn't do much. I gave Goggo a thorough bath for the event tomorrow. Don't think he's EVER been this clean before! However, the past two weeks saw me getting the left front indicator light fixed, as well as replacing the speedometer cable (which promptly snapped off again, so am driving on revs at the moment!).

Re: What did you do on your car today?
So much to do, and just not anywhere near enough time.
Ended up with a wash, a vacuum, a drive round the block and a refuel.
Not nearly the way I wanted her to look for the 75th, but will have to do for this year...

brakes and handbrake donemrhash wrote:finally got rid if my buckets and fitted new og seats
left to do
replace handbrake cable and brake shoes
find and fit rear bumper
replace tyres
drink in celebration of progress
tyres sorted
got rid of all rust on front bumper, headlight rings and side view mirror
hooter needs to be sorted now though
shouldn't be too much troubleand then it's off to the roadworthy plek
the license only expires in October and i think +-3 months is more than enough time to get the hooter done woop woop
I love it when things come together

No, Goggo is not a tranny bug. He's a real HE-bug!!! No female can have that many issues!!! Anyway, went to the 75th birthday party today, had lots of fun, but now I feel depressed... So many beautiful bugs... Eish...

Re: What did you do on your car today?
pfft come on now, when i say i've done stuff, it's normally done!
the cool things about these lights is they have the turn signal bulb in the bottom, so once i've found orange bulbs, i'll rewire them and remove the fender indicator and just have this.
