NEWS FLASH.................................................




Kaz is alive again......

He has been sitting at my house since the weekend of MTM and yesterday dragged him onto my recovery truck and brought him to the workshop. After a full afternoon of work i'm happy to say he drove back home......

Replaced 2 balljoints, a drive shaft, front bumper, oil cooler, front arch, flexi brake hose and a bit of panel beating.....

Just needs the tracking checked and then some cosmetic work, as in a bit of filler and paint.......... Or in the words of
Macker 'may get a bit of red hammerite to that'

So after all that work it was upp to Mr Mackers house for a bbq and beer........ :D

Then on the day before -saturday- Mr Mustard deciced to spin down to 'say hi and see my pick up' and when he got within 3 miles of my place his car died so spent the evening in the workshop with him,,,
Image

The coil pack had given up so with a robbed coil pack from a 00 fiesta i have here we got him going again. Then we had a bbq, (yes i know 2 days in a row but i love food) and after Mustard had fed himself he headed for home. Got about 300 yards from the workshop and his exaust fell off. So back in the workshop to weld the exhaust.......

Would like to add... Anyone who sees the welding on his exhaust please remember this was after the bbq so i was welding under the influence of many bottles of miller beer so not the best example of welding.......
