Tickman Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 The CR-V has now gone to play at an old school scrap yard where they are piled on top of each other and you wander round and climb up to get to the car you want.

Shirley Knott Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Shame about the Honda, I really like that generation of them. Despite the next lot being a chain engine and just as cheap nowadays, the original shape still looks best to my eyes at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickman Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 In a currently rare turn of events the workshop was visited with a purpose of doing something. Firstly I made this mess. This came from this Just an oil change as it hasn't had one since about May last year! It has only done about 4,000 miles and not used a drop in that time so it just kept getting use, now it can carry on getting usedagain. Â Next in was the 205 but that belongs elsewhere. stereotype, Shirley Knott, scdan4 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickman Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 After quite a while with a severe lack of progress I've been having a tidy up and sort out. It would be helpful if the tip would reopen but I do have the room to have a pile for all the shit to go at present. From quite a while ago we have this picture. That is very well staged to make it look tidy and empty but all the shit was basically behind me. There is a little stone store with the workshop so some shelves were bought and I had a tidy of that. Much better, things can be put out of the way when not needed. Next was a bit of a shuffle about. Minor and Scimitar put in the safest places, Toledo brought out ready for some attention. Then up she goes. The GSR is currently up there after bringing @stereotype's 205 back following the timing belt and water pump change. Plenty more tidying and clearing up to do before getting stuck back in to actually doing stuff. I'm hoping to get something productive done with my furlough time. stereotype, adw1977, Skizzer and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickman Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've been carrying on with the tidying. I haven't seen the top of this since before the Oxford visited two(?) Years ago. I've also decided to address the subframe rust on the GSR that was an advisory* on its MOT last July ? This bit which has gotten a bit worse since. I have this. I've been applying this. While this is ready here. All* I need now is something to support the engine while I take the bit underneath off. Some quite amazing service from SGS. Ordered yesterday at 15:40 and here today at about 14:00. Now I just need to apply myself. Going to take my time and free off the bolts instead of just steaming in taking stuff off without worrying. I'm in no rush, I'm not going anywhere! loserone, 320touring, Split_Pin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickman Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Box unpacked and built up. Everything penetrating fluid applied to came out easily. Subframe out. Subframe fucked. Front steady piece cleaned up and painted. Subframe was quite a lot worse than could be seen. Waiting for paint to dry now before building the subframe back up. 500tops, Flat4, Skut and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
