I'm properly loving the rows of windows down both sides. Smashing place to work that.

Was thinking you could have a great party in there.  Toledo and Minor doing a Trabbi U2 impression.

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.

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.

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.

 

Next in was the 205 but that belongs elsewhere.

More activity, Chuck's original Clio has been sitting as a spare supply for the current one, time has come for its departure, @domehad replied to my anyone want anything with epas please.IMG_20200316_114234813.thumb.jpg.2d4e2fe509cd0e855484f4af3391cef3.jpg

Done.

Butchery was employed.

Really don't think there is much else to get now.

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.

IMG_20190812_150949290.thumb.jpg.3bc1fbc69153930f44c02194e6360432.jpg

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.

IMG_20200317_115425623.thumb.jpg.26926b02f4f7e0b9a9db12cd6eb662e6.jpg

Much better, things can be put out of the way when not needed.

Next was a bit of a shuffle about.

IMG_20200426_131723686.thumb.jpg.8f4981c2d480b441764f7b8582f064fb.jpg

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.

I am incredibly jealous of your garage

Over the course of this thread that is exactly what I have been doing, then a purge and repeat!

Batteries, oil and general supplies a bit more organised.

IMG_20200428_112049425.thumb.jpg.a4cd1f6410a87654b9fc3f27b1974b12.jpg

Many tools cleared, cleaned and organised.IMG_20200428_123407223.thumb.jpg.0bcb06c1447a8547af49a2eb126f02de.jpg

Slowly but surely...

I've been carrying on with the tidying. I haven't seen the top of this since before the Oxford visited two(?) Years ago.

IMG_20200430_143710711.thumb.jpg.b9938de42d1e63924d24cccad2188ed0.jpg

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.

IMG_20200430_143557739.thumb.jpg.25bd64d92d3fb401db901c36c0850ef3.jpg

I have this.

IMG_20200430_143623470.thumb.jpg.7fd3432da58867038255502d1b825bce.jpg

I've been applying this.

IMG_20200430_143616115.thumb.jpg.00e4f02a307630682b8e617033eb9576.jpg

While this is ready here.

IMG_20200430_143611136.thumb.jpg.15dd763fbfe4d84b0fb7ad97a43a30d4.jpg

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.

IMG_20200430_145926744.thumb.jpg.a67811381b1d549058954f74a6bf60b1.jpg

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!

Box unpacked and built up.

IMG_20200502_111658099.thumb.jpg.f8e7434b70b1e6bba27b56c949fcd068.jpg

Everything penetrating fluid applied to came out easily.

Subframe out. 

IMG_20200502_124024080.thumb.jpg.e87af7d40dac3f36a3fe6885f3f2ca39.jpg

Subframe fucked.

IMG_20200502_131344773.thumb.jpg.3a3d67fe190e513d0d7966eb0286ef6b.jpg

Front steady piece cleaned up and painted.

IMG_20200502_131336910.thumb.jpg.d14765def1c7ea066ebdc7bff0b4b3db.jpg

Subframe was quite a lot worse than could be seen. 

Waiting for paint to dry now before building the subframe back up.

Looks like the welder will be getting an outing soon.

That is the front of the sill on the driver's side.

Good job I like this car.

I wonder* why there was rust in that area!

IMG_20200502_155734655.thumb.jpg.d9bd78d0faab9671edd473ab42005213.jpg

All swept out of the back of the plastic shield.

I thought Japanese cars didn't rust. The sneaky little bugger.

Who told you those lies...

I don't believe you that that worktop was always there. You've just put that in!

Really pleased Bailey is getting the attention she deserves.

 

I'd love a go again when she's sorted ?

A bit of wrestling later and I have it fitted.

Back on his wheels.

All done if I ignore the holes I've made in the sills.

Time to get some bigger holes in the sills then!
