I wish, fitting a radiator at my girlfriends mams, might get a look under the car if time.
Not so relaxing for me; got to pop onto work again today! I'm hoping for some garage time later, that makes my sound so under the thumb

Removing a gearbox from a Ford Zodiac, then changing over springs on Raider so it can sit lower than what it is at the moment order some POR15 to coat the underside of the car, replace rear quarter rubbers for new as they are falling apart and sort out oil feed and water feeds for the turbo and hopefully find a bit more bits to go in the engine bay its filling up quickily, dont realise how many bits need to go in that engine bay
Another 15 hours of pain at work hurry up 8pm.

Clean the house top to bottom as we've got our first viewing this afternoon. Cash buyer i'm informed....................says to me a stupid offer!
well giving the grass its first cut of the year. then going to watch stoke batter west ham. im thinking 3-1. then just cilling with the wife claire and my little star ava. ps also cant stop thinking about the rolling road day on satday at wgt. cant wait.
i think stoke will be on fire 2day there well over due a big win imo. as for satday just cant wait to get in the 5 and drive it for the 1st time in over 3 months. and also meeting the other 5 gtt owners on the day. lets hope the weather is good on the day. and people get the power they want out of there cars.
i was gonna clean the car for next weekend, but been up since 5am with my son being sick(he's never been physically sick before) not nice to see he's only 2 and it really scares him. The babys 12 days old too so sent her off to my wifes mums so she doesn't catch anything. So.... once again no 5 time nevermind.
well i finished building my panel so i took the 5 out for a spin such a lovely day for a drive haven't had her out in about a month......i forget how quick she is
A day of cleaning and detailing ready for next weeks meet
I've just got back from watching grass track racing in Nottingham. My mate was racing for the first time in his busa powered buggy 185bhp at the wheels :-) just washing the 5
Found the reason the 5 decided to dump its coolant friday night, damn split hose, means i can't drive it till i can get another hose
Well that didn't quite go as planned gearbox out by morning, stopped for bacon sarnies then started on the springs, my dad was helping out, managed to tighten up one spring, got the top nut off and removed the spring, then when I was just checking the top mounts the spring compressor decided to slip round trapping my dads thumb between the spring and the compressor. Lets say lack of feeling in a squashed thumb and me trying to work out how to get his thumb out their, finally managed to spin the spring round so I can get to the other side and just pulled the coils together so it didn't push onto his thumb and managed to remove his thum that way. Lots of blood and lack of skin and feeling for a few hours, helped him out stripping more bits of the consul as thats getting a full body restore. Springs seem same as old lot so that didn't help the situation
Work then look at a van for work
I was bored so thought id have a go at a bit of alloy polishing.
ive never done this before but heres how its going.
i grinded off the volvo intercooler turbo writing, and began sanding started with a 80 grit & worked my way up, its obviously no where near finnished, but im pleased with the way its looking.
i need some help though i need some sort of sanding tool to get it to the small hard to reach areas. im a cheap skate though so just thinking maybee some sort of attachment for my battery drill, can anyone point me in the right direction please
Well got some more work done on the 5 today thanks to Briggs and Scott! Hopefully have it all sorted soon
thats looking really good mate , i thought these might help with the smaller areas

Put the white Clio shell on axle stands. Matt and I started stripping the old chopped up looms out and replace with good ones, then work out what's needed for the next time it's worked on
double post
I have some of those dremel bits, they can be a bit fragile. I bought a polishing kit from ebay, tried it on some knackered wheels and worked a treat. the pack i bought came with 3 different grade wheels, but also some points which would work. Similar to the below.
Might go and take the intake manifold off before doing anything else
