Re: Soundwave's accumulated automotive arse-gravy
With the Saab currently "resting" while I gather parts, the MX5 about to enter winter hibernation, and the Hitler-approved fire hazard Beetle still being out of sight and out of mind, I turned my attention to the Rover. Despite all its problems and my decision to scrap it when the MOT is u...

Re: Soundwave's accumulated automotive arse-gravy
Mercifully the air filter can be accessed from the engine bay too, it's not a wing-off job to change! So, what's been going on? Got the Saab wing fully reattached... 20230727_122256.jpg ... took it to FOTU and incidentally parked it up with some of its 90s rivals... 20230729_103205.jpg ... and then ...

Re: What did you do today?
Dug my Rover out of one of the lockups, it's been SORN for a bit and I've decided to use it for the remainder of its MOT. 20230801_195926.thumb.jpg.be7e4034f2b37b825d39c07beebc8aef.jpg Yeah, so the clutch bite point is somewhere in the (saggy) headlining, the paint left its lacquer somewhere in the ...

Re: Soundwave's accumulated automotive arse-gravy
Off to FOTU next weekend, so decided I should probably get the Saab's scabbier front wing changed over, having already purchased the part. Jacked up and wheel off, so I can get at the arch trim/arch liner bolts... bodyside trim is already removed, as I've swapped it onto the replacement wing (it cam...

Re: Soundwave's accumulated automotive arse-gravy
Thanks. You have just reminded me why I will never fit another exhaust system myself. I might have forgotten and tried it again.... It's an important lesson. The only reason I did it myself this time was because none of the local fast fit places would touch it due to the lead time on parts. Otherwi...

Re: Soundwave's accumulated automotive arse-gravy
Put the new sunvisor in. No pictures because... it's a fucking sunvisor, you know what one of those looks like. Just imagine the previous picture, except instead of on a box, it's on a car ceiling. Buoyed by this two-screw success, I decided to move onto fitting the new exhaust I'd bought, as the on...

Re: EBay Finds
From near that there London... wonder if it's another ULEZ casualty? Vendor's caps lock appears to be stuck on.

Re: What did you do today?
Went to finally do a long-overdue exhaust swap on the Saab, discovered the bolts holding the backbox on were beyond re-use and I didn't have any the right size in my odds and sods tin. Good thing I checked before I went gung-ho and actually started taking stuff off. Went into town and bought some, b...
