Default 5 cars on the drive....

.... and none of the fuckers work

Had to walk to work in this bastard weather today

My Mini needs all the engine piping and wiring up,
Brothers clio has run out of MOT, needs a hazard light switch and a few other odds and sods,
My VW T4 is missing a bottom ball joint, took it apart last night and got stuck coz i need a 14mm spline bit and ive only got upto 12mm,
Citroen 2cv was running last night but the ignition switch has died this morning,
and the cossie is on axle stands while the wheels are painted and i fit my brembo front brakes.

so it was a fooking cold walk

yes number 2 now mate, was almost 8 weeks ago i had that one done!! also the car is almost upto scratch now after replacing some bushes. just need to replace the rocker cover as i've gone through multiple gaskets and the fucker still pisses oil out...going older style as hopefully should seal better! then once i'm sorted job wise its braided hoses, suspension (still not sure might go gaz coilovers as want minimal drop but a fair bit stiffer fro track days) and a set of slicks....then the hunt for more power!! 8)

now get that van and cossie sorted....i want a go (not the van )
