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

welcome to the dark side

 

I feel so...dirty

 

Drove it to work. Had to stop to clear the ice off the windows about half a mile from home.. it rained then froze up the locks and door seals..

And had to clear a dead mouse off the garden path. Our No1 cat does this more often now to prove his seniority over the fat No2 cat lump indoors..
Then he comes in and is extra friendly. The dead young rat on the path a few days back meant I got amazing friendly treatment...

And the poptop creaked like somebody was rubbing some polystyrene until whatever ice melted and it shut up as I was just getting really annoyed with it.

And the poptop is still latched down. Its only taken 9 1/2 years and nearly losing the poptop to do something about the fact that one out of the four latches would pop undone by itself.

 

If it's any consolation I just bought 5 rolls of TESA tape to do the behind-the-dash stuff.

 

Excellent. It's great - tough stuff and won't rattle behind your dash.

I confess I ordered more thin-wall yesterday. I've asked for it to be delivered under plain wrapper. Don't want the neighbours seeing .

 

It's a slippery slope to fitting a Subaru engine my friend!

 

Well, I have got central locking. That's packed up, mind

 

Got out my measuring stick and made a drilling template. I'll do a couple of exploratory holes tomorrow. If I'm really skilled, I can drill straight through both the main heater hose and the front brake pipe

 

Out for cheeky overnighter , just local to top up the leisure battery

Having no sense of smell I bought a cheapo gas alarm so having plenty of time on my hands decided to check the unions I renewed last year .
Gas was turned on and it started going off around the cooker - bugger .
Stripped the lot out and found this...



Moral ??

Don't take gas fittings for granted, I used the van all last year and think I've been very lucky ...

On mi way to buy a lottery ticket

I was going to bring it anyway but please use it on Saturday , it might be a bit overwhelmed with your 'gassy parts' on Sunday...

He's in. Bit clunky, but will do the job, and is reasonably kick-proof...

 

Found a hole...

Eewwww...

 

Did some Ebers loom wrangling. Lashings of thin-wall. Don't tell @Mark Darby .



Did some mat cutting. Miraculously, in the right place...



Lashed up an Ebers fault-undoeriser...

 

What loom, where? All I see is a bit of string.
