320Touring's Toledo FIN

[320touring]

All the bits I ordered have arrived.

 

The wing mirror glass looks like a pain to fit in the dark- May try it tomorrow.

 

The gear gaiter just looks plain wrong- should have a widder top to fit the gearknob and also be elasticated to fit into the groove

 

Luckily the dipstick holder fitted nae bother so that was a win:)

[Split_Pin]

Getting there nicely 😀

[320touring]

A little bump up for this..

 

I've not done much recently-trying to get a myriad other things sorted, but I have been slowly gaining parts..

 

A spare hubcap has been acquired and there is a complete passenger mirror on the way..

 

I'mma ask re how to protect the bloody thing afore the winters too

[320touring]

Due to the sellage of the lupo, I had to dig this out in readiness to start the daily commute..

 

 

I also have a session of derusting/underbody sealing planned

I'd advise not branching out into comedy!

dont buy a beater use this

dont buy a beater use this

I would do but nae abs/folds up like an envelope/rare/low miles and max 36mpg means it ain't suited!

[320touring]

Started this after a month off. First turn of the key and a most pleasant amble into the work this morning..

[320touring]

2nd tank of fuel in tonight I must have been "enjoying" it slightly more..

 

403.2 miles, 53.25L so 34.42mpg

[320touring]

My semi-regular trot down to Dumfries was rudely interrupted by a flashing coolant warning light this morning..

 

Thankfully this happened Before I availed myself of the m74 southbound..

 

A split in the header tank return pipe was the source of the steam.

 

I used all my resourcefulness to craft a "2 fingers from a later glove, plus cable ties" resolution, which held for the 75 miles to Dumfries.

 

 

A length of fuel hose and Some rerouting sorted it before the return journey.

All those things work perfectly in both my cars...

[320touring]

Took this on the last run to work today.

beko dreams of non shit car

[Skizzer]

I saw the thread title and thought for a minute you were getting rid of this fine and rare beastie. Glad it's the job you're changing instead

[cort16]

Is the new job closer or further away?

[beko1987]

beko dreams of non shit car

Nah. I like working on cars, I treat my cars as rolling projects! That's what fucks with non car people! "but why would you want to spend all weekend doing this to it for?"

 

Because I like doing it and don't do it enough!

 

Anyway, says the guy who came to sf17 with a car where all the doors didn't open...

[Lacquer Peel]

I used to think I liked working on cars but it gets tiring when the car you rely on every day needs constant tinkering.

[Tickman]

Is the new job closer or further away?

Further away, much further.

[The Moog]

But closer to God

[vulgalour]

Last Commute to Sterling was KLF's most recent album, wasn't it?

The AS solution to this is simple : just buy more cars !

[Lacquer Peel]

That's for rich autoshiters who can afford to tax, insure and maintain* multiple cars.
