Re: What did you do today?
Today as I had a spare half hour I decided to have a look at the smashed fog light on a Focus I've just put on Gumtree. No money was spent on it. I cut up and old mat and glued it over where the lens was.
Now it was a one fog light car so I made the other one black too...
Wonder if anyone will notice?OMG U OK HUN?

Re: What did you do today?
I picked up the completely rebuilt cylinder head for the Sierra bASe. My two youngest sons are very taken with it, so rather than selling the Sierra - I shifted my Mercedes w201 on instead.
I’d upload a picture but I can’t see how. Anyway it’s beautiful now with a new camshaft, reground valves and a headskim - plus new thermostat housing and water pump. There’s also a Weber 34/34 carb to add too.

Re: What did you do today?
"Weber" and "shifted my Mercedes W201 on" are actually keywords to my thoughts at present......Bloody fuel injection still not sorted after £500 plus. Pinto and Pierburg actually seem preferable at the mo....

Nothing obviously wrong as it was full of oil and water and had no warning lights come on according to the owner.

This will be expensive as it punched a hole in the block as well.

1600 sadly. That is, really, the only way it could have been worse.The Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 7:32 pm The Base will sing again.
It's a 1300 Pinto isn't it?
There was a 1300 in beige (!) for sale in Der Nederlands a couple of years ago but, try as I did, I couldn’t get the vendor to take me seriously and it sold. If it was to ever reappear, my friend’s sister in law is fluent - so we’d try again.
The car has sat for exactly one year now, so I’m hoping that recommissioning is relatively painless. It still looks dreadful on one side, and I’ve no money to improve things either - but it’ll be nice to have it back up and running again.
