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!).

Still need to get the doors fixed. Why aren't there any good panelbeaters in Rustenburg??? :evil:

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...

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...

Went to the Mint, pushed the fasty to a crazy speed to get there, was nice and warm because put the heaters on :) Going to check replacement for the blitzmobile next weekend, hope that it's worth it...

Ah! Now see if Goggo had been a lady bug, she would have been beautiful too, and you wouldn't have felt depressed... :D

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.
