The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

I was sure it didn't fit and posted on here but was told it was easy fit

 

Maybe I could install a grid of water cooling pipes which I could then use to supply a nice warm shower.

 

Dooo it! dooo it! ... Seriously though, I think you should. I used the pipes that usually go into underfloor heating.
Plastic/aluminium/plastic.
You might only get pre-heat though ...

 

Finished and installed my home made overhead locker. Very pleased with my handiwork.

Good work.

Just wait until you’ve banged your head a few times in the night though...

Changed the oil. 3.5 litres of Halfords cheapest 10W40..
Reversed into a bollard at Halfords and split open another rusty bit of bumper. I dont think I have enough welding gas left so I bashed it straighter and its off to BOC on Monday at lunchtime.

Ordered two new rear tyres for fitting on thursday. Its gone through the tread right on the inside edge. All the rest of the tyre is about 3mm... Not long to go to the cords.... All that extra camber from lowering .. "bling " costs.

 

Went for a run out and took some piccies for its for sale ad.

 

Today I got stuck in to Filmores poor running. I only had 2 hours, so I checked the carb balance, and found they were out. I decided to baseline them again, so I have pulled them both out, and cleaned and blown through the jets and float bowl. I have reset the float hight to 6mm, as one was 7 mm and the other was 4 mm, set the throttle stops so the butterfly is open 4 thou, and reset the mixture screw to 2 1/2 turns out from bottom.
Tomorrow is refitting carbs, checking the fuel pressure, timing, best lean and balancing. Wish me luck.

Finally fitted new tyres and wheels ... Not much by TLB standards but a long time coming!
Can't beat a bilstein jack

 

Fitted the gearbox and engine on my own need a lie down now

 

Might be saying the same in about two years

 

Still finding botch-ery from repairs I paid for ...
That's the loom where it passes through the back of the deformation panel ...
Nice work , take a bow John from beetle peeple in Morley who welded the new panels on about 5 years ago ...

Thought it was chaffing to start with but it`s burnt , probably when the fool was welding close to the loom ....

Pure luck that there`s no bare wires .

Thanks GingerBus
Looking forward to banging my head then!

 

Painted the left battery tray and surrounding area along with the cab floor.

Be interesting to see how Rustoleum paint turn out, colour seems a fairly good match to the original Neptune blue.

 

I feel your pain of poor quality work, thats shocking work.

 

This is what worries me about having any welding done up here by folk I don’t know. I absolutely trust peter fletcher but he doesn’t do welding anymore and said he can’t recommend anyone because ‘they’re all rubbish’.
