  • Rebuilding rockers
    Work beginning by giving two old set of rockers a sonic bath


    Hopefully there will be enouigh parts to make one good set.

    When this is done I will swap out the worn one in the car - hopefully the car does not have to be out of service then.

  • GAVNØ2011
    Time for thiis years autojumble at Gavnoe. It is an annual show with appr. 1.000 cars on show.

    The type of cars are wildly different. From concourse Rolls Royce to tatty Mazdas

    Well, before getting to Gavnoe I gave the car a good wash, fresh oilfilter and oil, and just for the fun of it, a magnetic sumpplug I had.

    On a sidenote - the classic gold filter does NOT have a satisfying oilvalve, so I am still lacking oilpressure for the first ten seconds cranking.




    Nice magnetic drainplug. Hopefully nice and clean at the next oilchange. The oil I took out where not to bad. A tad darker than what went in 3.000 miles ago, but still brownish and transparent



    Fair bit of triumphs, most of them very polished TRs though. A bit boring really

    I met Peter S. with his family in their new 2000 mk2. Nice straight car in need of a respray.

  • First drive of the year
    I went to the inlaws (200 miles away) to pick up the spit. I had been parked there for the winter.
    Car was rather dusty when I found it.

    Also most of the alloy bits had suffered a bit. Blisters of alloy dust over most parts.






    With the battery hooked up it started with no probs. 3 seconds of cranking and it sprung to life.


    Took a nice 4 hours drive home with a quick stop for a photo




    Drives as expected. Still have a fair few points I want to correct over the summer. Hopefully the MJ is going omn this year.
