Thread: Time for a Re-fit

Mr Cotter - Mr Cotter!

Yep hands up here too... Happens nearly every single time I go out into the garage...

But I suppose that is the beauty of restoring a car - there always seems to be a million jobs to do.

I am praying to the car restoration gods that I will soon start completing all of these un-finished jobs, and that things will come rushing together...

I had everything ready to change my brake fluid. Just the brake fluid.

Five weeks later I have replaced two flexible hoses, master cylinder seals, pumped half a litre of escaped brake fluid out of the servo, ordered a new servo, thought I'd bleed the clutch hydraulics too, removed heater and put it away for clean-up, removed the floor, cleaned and painted it, fitted new clutch master and slave seals, new speedo cable (correctly routed so it doesn't pull out like the old one), then everything back together and several attempts at bleeding and adjusting brakes.

Success finally tonight, everything works and I know it's all done.

Looking forward to a long drive tomorrow.

Has Bruce got an 88 or a 109?

Whatever the Boss says goes I think.

I wonder if the person creeping up behind him gave him a bear hug, tried to grope him or was crash tackled by security half a second after the shot was taken.

I hope it's a productive weeeknd for you John. Less trampoline and more banging the Landy with blocks of wood. I want to see a video of it driving down the street soon.

As we speak, I am fiddling with the air cleaner mounting, making sure all the bits and pieces go where they should and there's nothing rubbing where it shouldn't.

I've put the overdrive in the too-hard basket for the moment.
