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

Yep.. one put back wrong one with a nick in wire shorting... then that went the wrong way just to check then back... oh the laughs we had in the rain the night before a retest on a sat morning before a two hour drive to go cycling round Anglesey

 

Just outside Caister, a place called the Grange in Ormesby-St-Mary. We wanted to go to north Norfolk but couldn't get in anywhere as we only booked a few weeks ago. It's a nice little site, about a 10 minutes walk to a dog friendly beach

 

Drove it from Lincoln to chelford over the peak district towing a heavy Poptopkitchen. No problems.

Waiting outside SGS aircooled to pick it up and pay the bill - roughly half what its worth or a Scooby conversion.

Turns out I am an hour early.

 

Paid the bill .. £4409.56 for the MOT. PS dont buy a Devon with belly pans...
Drove it home... after a chat and some hints and tips on doing a decent filler job.

The work was done using a spot welder on the bottom of the sills so it looks stock.


So sad thats hopefully the last visit ever to SGS with Scott in charge as he is tidying out his personal stuff today as he has sold up.


Will post some pictures in an "emergency resto" thread.

 

Set the clock.

 

According to my estimates it was rotted in 2010 just I did not realise.

Had a fun afternoon after going off to the pub for lunch to celebrate youngest daughter's excellent GCSEs.. in top 2000 in country.

The fun consisted of filler sanding filler sanding a bit of primer in corners more filler.

One bit Scott pointed out was the pillar seam groove under the passenger door on the B pillar actually implied the B pillar was tapered as it was just a groove in thick filler.
So I ran a flap disc down gently and found the edge of the wheel arch all the way down. And then ground out and refilled the old groove in the filler.
Poked a few more rusty bubbles to clean them up, all cracks in too thick filler.

 

Yeah 20 years too late for me!

 

It is a little loud BUT loud pipes save lives. And it makes the engine rev much free-er

Took it, the Mrs and brats to the beach . What a gorgeous day for a bank holiday weekend.

 

I guess that photo was taken somewhere near Compton?

 

Not near Compton, it was Compton

 

Where's all the low riders and home boys ?

 

They like a bit of surf. I can't remember last time the air was so still. Same again tomorrow apparently
