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

Finally found the right connector for replacement wiper motors.

 

Nice day yesterday for a bit of handbrake van-tinkering with @Chrisd. And I changed my front gearshift rod bush - again…

 

CSP don’t include the connector then?

 

At least you know your check engine light works !

 

Connected one of my dashboard cigarette lighter socket boxes to the redundant original Devon water tap power switch, so I can turn it on and off without needing the ignition key turned on.
At the moment they are only powered from the starter battery, but that should be being charged from solar or hookup.

When I get home I will rewire to make them powered off the leisure battery by default.

 

CSP wiper motor: 80 euros. Generic T4 wiper motor: £19.95. I suspect they're much the same unit.

No idea whether the CSP ones come with a connector.

 

Drive it.

 

Out and about, I really need a quick tidy up but ....
there's always tomorrow

Drove it. Went to a car/bike/tractor type show at Grindley on the Hill near Bawtry. A bit of something for everyone.

 

A bit more body work where the dreaded rust was showing...just to embarrass @snotty



Needs some more work before topcoat, but coming along nicely

And dropped the engine on the Bug to change the clutch disk and pressure plate; the clutch disk seems to be fooked, no wonder it was a bit smelly.

 

Got the horn working and fitted the press button, wired up the reverse lights, added a heavier duty cable to the starter and took it for a spin round the ‘burbs

 

Started a you tube channel to document Beryls restoration.

 

After a recent jolly in the Dales needed a wash and brush up.
Reversed it out the garage and emptied the fresh water tank down the drive.
Cleaned the cooker and fridge so ready for the next time.
Noted that it's time for a gearbox rebuild, ugh, so starting to look at the logistics.
All the same he drove well except in traffic.

Bridge over the Wharfe at Burnsall.

No content yet but will hopefully have a walk round video showing the true horror of her this week.

 

Were your steps intact underneath?
