Drive down to the dump , and someone decides to reverse into me  :ranting

Annoying - a bit of spit & polish.

Hope they did more damage to theirs.

Start assembling the front brakes
I'm putting 11 inch brakes front and back in my 88 Station Wagon.

How easy it is now to upload photos, Many thanks to the administrators, GREAT job! :Copa de Oro You cannot view this attachment.

Attended a really great pub meet last night in Evesham, 11 Series vehicles in attendance even though the rain kept falling.

I assembled the hub and put new bearings and longer bolts for the new rings. "modular".
Tomorrow to mount them.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Yet another tip run this afternoon getting rid of stuff that my wife has cut down.  I have to bag it up too, at least it is an excuse to drive YOD.  Now I have just finished removing and refitting a tyre to put the inner tube fitted by a tyre place in the correct way round.  Doing 750s with levers in this heat is hard work when you get past 70.  It has reminded me though why I change my own.  I did one on the rally field at Rutland in 2018 and that was a warm day.  Wittsend has a photo of me outside the community centre afterwards and I look knackered.

Completed the install of my repaired transfer box - just waiting for some more parts then hopefully all sorted by next week;



On top of that completed the install of my rear disc brake conversion, managed to bleed them manually (the wife's right foot) all done.





I'm also fitting an X brake on the handbrake - so disc all round - OK totally over the top but it has to be done       

Round trip for fish and chips  

Getting on with the 109 rebuild. Cut out the rotten lower door frame and welded in a new piece. Perfect weather for laying some primer on the grass.

Drilling out spot welds to remove the door pillar foot.

Yesterday (I am not working this early in a morning)

Just checked the tyre that I fettled on Thursday to make sure that everything is OK

I need to paint the wheel now if it ever stops raining ready for fitting next week

Went to the tip with garden cuttings and met another Series 2 owner doing the same thing.

A shiny new arrival from Richard's

Running round the countryside trying to find a spare mushroom oil filler cap for somebody who has managed to lose his the day before a road trip to Cornwall on holiday. Lucky I've got a spare old engine!

If anybody has a good one they would like to sell, please let me know and I can get my spare one back!
