ha ha mum wouldnt let me take him down to the shed.
I havent got seat belts in the back so Coop will have to wait a while for a ride.
He's helped me park the swift a couple of times, but i end up with a puddle of dribble on the steering wheel.

My dad just used to let me play under his cars while they were on jacks, the amount of fixing i must have done with a plastic hammer and enthusiasm lol.

Now there's an idea

my dad didnt skimp on stuff, always had axle stands and spare tyres under the car. honest, still tells me everytime he sees me working on cars, make sure its safe.

Fitted the correct rotor button to the van (some numbnut used a 29D rotor in a 43D dizzy giving over 5mm clearance between electrodes) with a HUGE thanks to Scott at Minitopia for helping late on a Sunday evening.

Lo and behold, it revs! Still not perfect, but I know how to fix that now

Rebuilt Pedal box in 850, but removed std brake pedal and added Clubman one, also trimmed the Hex shaped pedal to look more std and also puts brake pedal pad closer to gas to help H&T'ing

After air filter caught fire I decided it might be better to do this sort of stuff when I'm not hung over.

Back to it next weekend. Getting close though. I might need to talk to you about how you did the camber and toe in as I can see that I have a lot of toe out on the front and I don't want to wear out Dave's tyres doing a test drive up and down the street.

I would be interested in hearing this as well.

Just now, I changed, Plugs, points, condensor (again ), diz cap and coil....Its running smoother now.
