Grrrrr.....

Been a very busy three weeks.

Wifes MK1 went for it's MOT, they rang up to say that the front shox were shot and 3 brake lines. Being a tad busy I told them to get on with it. Then they rang the wife and said that one of the springs was snapped, she thought I had a spare pair from the other golf ( I seemed to remember chucking them away!) anyway I rushed home could not find them, so told the garage I would drop of the struts and springs from the other golf in the morning... That was duly done and that car was sorted.......

On the morning of dropping off the shox, we went out to the Scorpio, got loaded up and then found that the drivers window was in a server state of disrepair. As was the lower dash and steering collumn cowling. I was not a Happy chappy.. It was bank holiday weekend and it took from that friday morning until the following wednesday for the glass company to sort it ( so much for emergency glass cover!! )

I was now a little worried about the vunerability of my car, and decided that the drive space where the Golf project was needed to be reclaimed. So, the Sierra was driven onto the drive , and the Golf pushed into the garage where it was cut into manageable chunks and parts stripped.. A sad end.

The garage was then tidied up and the sierra driven back in!!!

Yes she drives, stops and turns. The exhaust is useless but I am getting there!

May is here!

Wow, it's May.

I think I have done the sum total of nothing on the Scorpio. Since the last entry. The horn seems to have packed up though, and the exhuast scrape is getting very annoying! I am getting a second hand Stainless exhaust soon, and I am also going to get another set of wheels and GOOD tyres as mine are wrong and running out of life!

The wifes MK1 golf is due for MOT on Thursday, so I have given it a brife once over. A new headlamp bulb and exhaust mounting rubber should be all it needs.

My MK1 now has the engine temprarily in place ( that was a task!!! ) and I have got the back brakes and a nice mongose exhaust to go on it. I have ( I think ) almaost everything to finsihe her off now.

Lots of work has been done of work has been done on the Sapphire. The engine is now in permenantly and the engine test run. Welding is complete, wiring is almost complete and I have started the preping of the boddy work. Hopefully next week she will be out of the garage under her own steam!
