coooooool

[Jace]

I shoulda made 40 to sell them to everyone! I could certainly use another one.

[Jace]

Fixed the odometer today.





All because of this little bastard.




Little problem causing bastard fixed.
I drilled out the center of the cog the tiniest little bit and glued it back on.










Needless to say, I cleaned absolutely everything I could as I went along.


And it works!
I might even be motivated this week. I'll organize a windscreen finally!

[Jarred]

Good work!

Common problem that, and easy fix. Glad you're getting stuck in!

[16v_kid]

Nice!

Looks clean inside the dash too!

[GoLfMan]

into it!

nice work

[Jace]

Oh ****, i'm unemployed.
I'm going to need something to do for the next few days so i don't go insane being at home all the time!

Going to:
- Hack up the plastic-bumper number plate bracket to fit a slimline plate and mount off-center on a chrome bumper.
- Sand off some rust and put a bit of primer over it (front valance, drivers side c-pillar etc.)
- Have a go at making it run a bit better
- Clean wheel arches
...

I need suggestions!

[Stephy]

- sit and admire it for a bit.

[Jace]

It's so far below being able to be admired. I could vacuum it, but that's not really progressing.

[Stephy]

Come on... Then sit in it and admire, take in that funky MK1 smell.
I opened a box that had interior parts this afternoon and the memories all came flooding back.

[Jace]

Ha ew. Mmm maybe, for like 10 seconds.

[GoLfMan]

dam dude! What happened?!

clean it all up, if your really keen take out the interior, strip the tar off the floor and re-seal. That will keep you occupied~!

[Jarred]

clean stuff, degress and clean the engine and engine bay, clean under all the arches. that kinda stuff

[Jace]

I'll get around to it.
Turning my attention to the Mercedes because it means more to me. Full detail today, clean and repaint wheels arches tomorrow if it's sunny.

I was made redundant because of a lack of incoming aircraft parts. If it picks up they'll want to re-employ me because i do all the airbrushing they need, but i'm not going back.
I don't know how to feel. I'm not upset but I'm not entirely stoked.
