As dad had a day off work and the rain came across in waves,
I was relegated to my little tool shed!
Unfortunately there was no space to stand or get the deck
chair out so I could sit down to do the work I needed to do,
so the first task was to have a little clear out!
Once there was space, out came the deck chair, and the wire
brushes. All those heat shields were dirty and had rust on
them, so I had the wire brushed then sand paper over the lot.
A quick wipe over with paper towels soaked with white spirits
to get and grease or remaining dirt off. They were then hung
from a wire coat hanger ready for a blast of high heat spray
paint.
Even if I do say so myself a vast improvement on what they were!
I had previously trimmed the alternator bracket when I was
making the Belt tennsioner setup, and it had been scrapped.
So the alternator bracket and it's spacers were wire brushed,
sanded, and then cleaned. Before a coat of silver hammerite was
applied.
When I was moving things around I put a little weight upon part
of the battery battery tray's rear support and bent it a little!
I will bend it back later but here it is fully painted and ready
for fitting and the fusebox holes to be drilled.
Dad doesn't know it yet but there will be a change around of
things on the drive tomorrow!
There are 2 broken washing machines which are waiting to be
collected by the scrapman sat infront of the garage, as well as
the trailer.
These will be moved so Christine can come off the inspection pit
and be moved infront of the garage. This must be done so I can
put jacks and axle stands under the car to sort the suspension
out, as well as start fitting the ancillaries back on the engine.
2 weeks tomorrow is Whitby Custom Car Show!!!!!!
Still so much to do, and so little time!!!!
