So far I have done bens brake hose, meddys cars back together and I was taken out this morning, he never tightened a wheel right (one I haven't touched) and it nearly came off and I need to flush the coolant in it as well.

Actually, thinking about it, my mate Chris just bought a 2.9 Granada off ebay for Â£62, will probably go and play with that.

Bought as a donor car for his capri...

I've got a wonerful fun filled day ahead of me, runnign around.

Gotta check my gear box oil level and then order some brake fluid and if necessary gearbox oil.

Go up to coventry to get some brake pads and coolant for someone, then off to seat to collect my splitter i ordered about 4 months ago.

Then up to birmingham to get a new headlight for mother dear, and back to coventry and stop off at the bodyshop suppliers and get some supplies.

The back home and out on the piss

granny scorpios are great cars, nice for fords, don't feel the usual cheap nasty chucked together way they always feel.

Thats a fair bit of running about Lunner.

Whats the weather like there neal? Its raining again up here, just as well I fiunished the brake hose when I did. Need to wait for Amber so I can bleed it though, won;t need much just a wee bit. need to do meddys as well as the brakes are dire!

Is hes hoping to swap the engine in the pissing rain then good luck to him, been there done it not worth it! Shame for him to miss out on scotland and it kind of buggers up the plans on you givign chet the hatch!

hello,

It's been raining down here so I've not managed to do bugger all today!

I did spray my rear arch yesterday and filled the holes in the sill with some mesh and liquid metal and fiberglass.(to bluff the MOT)

Do I need to use a lacquer on halfords Glasier white? There spray paint is shit and dont have the same finish as 2 pac! (I'm sure it aint a proper colour match too!)

I'm going to nuke my breakfast now as me mam let me a fry up in the microwave. Razz

raining here too and i have managed to do bugger all as well.

Engine is out of the ph2 Chris, the white hatch is now in the yard at work and the engine from that is ready to be pulled out.

it's too wet at the mo to get the fork truck round from the warehouse to the yard where the cars are Sad

i am hoping that the ph2 will be back on the road by sunday evening.
