Anyone had a productive day?

Jonny69 · 9 Jul 2011 at 19:50

My new year resolution as of last Thursday is to spend every Saturday sorting my cars out. She didn't take much convincing either, as long as I promised to get stuff done.

So today I have picked up the axle for my hotrod and dropped off the block for my Anglia for some machining. Then on my return I did some (actually quite a lot of) welding on a mate's Midget and we pulled the redundant engine and box out of my Anglia. He then presented me with a rear bumper for the Anglia and some louvred hood sides which will go on my T, relayed through a couple of chaps on Retro Rides

The weather has been fine, I have a welder's tan, no fingertips and I've played some top tunes on my iPod converted radio. I even partly tidied the garage

Anyone else had a productive day? Tell me your stories :cool:

I started picking at the peeling steering wheel in the E60 today.

Has inspired me to remove all of it and either di-noc it or polish it up.

so... no.

Got my car aligned this morning after I finished fitting polybushes to the wishbones on Wednesday. To say the alignment was out would be an understatement

I smashed my Dell 24" by mistake

Gustov · 9 Jul 2011 at 19:59

Yep! Cleaned the car

Mostly engine work. Modified the idle control jet, fitted a new idle cut off valve, fitted the exhausts properly, rebuilt part of the casing, swapped a centrifugal distributer for an vacuum advance one and re-timed the engine.

Refitted the harnesses, tidied up the front lights - and the Baja is not far off going for an MOT.

Not too much, oil and filter change.

Managed to remove a bolt with a snapped head, that's about all I could be bothered to do on it today.

Lol, I came through your way this morning as well. If I'd have known, it might not have been a productive day

Foursome? Could have turned into a very productive day

Ive just smashed a 50mm FL miniscus lens on my laser cutter. Thats £105 to replace

And a fair few quid in lost production!

Had a go at cleaning my stainless exhaust tips, came up pretty good considering over 10 years old.

Tute · 9 Jul 2011 at 21:07

Helped a friend move house, so not a bad day at all in terms of productivity, given he lives two floors up.

More to go tomorrow, but all the heavy lifting is done.

Its all down to the car keys in the bowl, we got a good bowl here

NathWraith · 9 Jul 2011 at 21:26

Cleaned, polished and waxedthe supra with gibbo. Weather was on and off so took quite a long time! Dressed the tyres and fitted new window wipers also

Draeger · 9 Jul 2011 at 21:26

My RSV Mille is booked in for it's MoT on Monday so I stripped back all the plastics and cleaned it from top to bottom this afternoon. Gave it a service, changed the oil, filter and plugs. Swapped the number plate back to the "barn door" sized original one and fitted the BS stamped baffles to the exhausts. Took up my whole afternoon but I'm now ready for Monday. Should breeze through the MoT.

Luke · 9 Jul 2011 at 21:32

Nothing major, but got my ZZR cleaned up and ready to sell. Just popping out to replace the flaking fairing screws with new ones I bought and then am waiting for the flurry of buyers to start pestering me from PH and eBay!
Oh, and took the Disco in for it's MOT today and it's still with them as it failed on most of the steering components

Anyone had a productive day?
