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

that a yank dash or did you paint it in textured paint. I like that!

 

I have the same one
Cracking piece of kit pony has mine at the moment to shift his rear hub nuts

 

Ten seconds, my gland nut was off

 

The horn stopped working on the Bank Holiday weekend and the culprit was found


So after new wire was fitted it works again



However having never worked on the horn before I removed the front belly pan thinking I had to but that resulted in me finding some broken parts and realised the gear selector rod bushing had collapsed.




So where is best to purchase a complete refurb kit for the selector rod. I have looked at VW Heritage but thought I would ask here first in case someone has experience on the matter.

 

Aussie Crewie , dash is about to get a good clean ! Not painted .

Don't want to be a wet blanket, but with no strain relief on that cable, it'll break again in no time, especially with solder wicked up the wire.

 

I don't think there's any kit better than any other, probably all get them from the same factory!
Your rubber steering coupler is showing signs of cracking up by the way

 

Bought a 45mm socket from Halfords for the rear hub but on the T25, rattle gun nothing, 2ft breaker bar with scaffold pole on broke the breaker bar! Even with some heat on the nut.
Halfords replaced the 3 year old breaker bar no quibble
So resorted to cutting disc

Note how skilfully I avoided damaging the threads on the hub , quick tap with hammer and chisel and off it popped!

 

So in preparation for mot on Tuesday have got the old girl insured. £220 for the year so has gone up a little.

I can remember learning how to burn old nuts off and getting it just so you start to see the thread under the nut......

 

Yesterday I achieved this!

Cleaned Cyril up then camped in him at Stoner Park with the Weedhuggers. Had a great time the pair of us, Cyril now look all shiny and I looked a bit pasty and shiny this morning myself !

Today I bit the bullet and put the new roof canvas on.

It was an absolute pig of a job, but it's done. Finally!

Dumped my oil after 500 miles. No shimmery stuff any more, and no wormy bits in the strainer, and not a hint of an oil leak anywhere. Well done, Mr Parry. Quick refit of an oil hose and tappets tomorrow.

Took a front door card off as prep for sticking the central locking in. A JK MDF job: after 5 years, the bottom had rotted and all the clips pulled out. Why, why, why do I buy this stuff?

Seems Mad Matz do proper oiled hardboard ones: anyone used these?
