Sat a/noon was not to bad so I jacked up the car ( rear near side ) and got stuck in cleaned and polished under the wheel arch brake hub nuts bolts exhaust etc . Then removed the earth strap for the battery and swung the jack to the front. Axel stands under , off comes the new'ish s/motor and on goes the spare polish the chassis , sump and track rods etc . Return to rear w/wheel off and it's the twisty finger treatment as I polish the wires , remove the grease and replace with new . Tyre treated and polished to look like new but not shine . Spotted my exhaust pipe is touching the tyre must give it a good twist and sort it out . The side lights have been playing up so I thought, and getting a rubber gasket to fit was a no no . Ordered two, to thick tried to sand one down and cocked it up . Tried a self tapper and cracked the plastic lens . Now I had two new lens and washers , straight in off side lit up but not the nearside , must find the earth . Car lowered stuff put away s/motor covered in finger marks that refuse to come off . Just contacted a firm today and they will strip it down send the case to me and keep the other part's . Once I have had the case polished return it and they will fit it all back together check it over and post it out . Cant ask for better than that can I. Just working my socks off to get back on the roads for April.
