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

You didn't use that soap to help get them windows in did you?

Great idea but soap is full of salt so will help rust your window surrounds.

 

Well i did at first mixed with a bit of water, but it was so hot it dried up before we could get the window in. After much faffing around I used a thin smear of grease. However the window surrounds were newly painted around 3 months ago and i did cut back the paint and wax it with autoglym before the windows went in so hopefully all should be good

Just googled the "soap" as it was for babies it doesnt contain Sodium Trideceth Sulfate so even better, well spotted!

 

Fitted 2 new front tyres (185/65R14) to stop them rubbing on the floor after fitting dropped spindles the other week

Changed front anti roll bar for an Empi one and just waiting for a custom pair of Gaz front coilovers. Then got to fit the rear adjustable spring plates

 

New fog lights

 

Took a drive through the Fens up to Dubs and Classics to get a few upgrades and an MOT. Nicest MOT trip so far! Bit scary driving beside a river ten feet above you...the Fens are weird.

 

great guy. Jason

Not quite today but finished off the sewing of the rear cushion late Friday night/Sat morning & then went camping in Crowborough for the weekend.






Time for a well needed beer

 

Set fire to the seats in the back when was welding in lower seatbelt mounts. Put it out but now need some new upholstery! Fire gods happy today I think and I was lucky I looked inside.

 

Ooops! not too much damage I hope. I did the same in my mini many years ago! Caught it in time just like you.

 

Yes not too bad, just a bit of carpet and some new material for the seat. Seatbelt mount looks good though!

 

Pass side front wheel bearing done to stop the silly sqeaking noise was the inner 1 rusty (never done em since had bus)

Treated mine to 70mph down the dual carriage way this evening.

 

The sun was shining so I thought work could wait till the darker hours!
Then set about fitting my towel rail in the camper.......

Also known as jail bars

 

Which wheel bearings did you use?

 

Mele ones same as the rears they seemed good at techenders (from what I remember )

 

I see someone bought you an appropriate splitty tea towel. I was given the same one, didn't have the heart to tell them. But then again I should nip this in the bud now.

 

Finished off sorting the clutch cable. Hopefully done it all properly.
It reversed out the parking space at least.
Will take it for a drive and cross my fingers.

 

Just added split conduit to the wiring loom & leisure battery wiring to tidy it up. Looks good. Didn't have my phone to show off the handy work.
Conduit in baby blue so it fits in nicely.

 

What a day!!!! Engine went straight back in no problems and ...........

Started up after a couple of turns



Bit of retuning the valve clearance and it sings.

So chuffed with myself.

Just need to tidy up the wiring and the rest of the tinware, engine seal, tow bar and bumper.

Camping next bank holiday is looking promising.
