Foadwerx Friday's

[DodgyBastard]

As I spend most Friday's here playing with shite cars I wondered if anyone would care to join me?
We have a ramp, some basic tools, a welder and a manual tyre machine.

If anyone fancies coming along and learning to weld or wants to use the ramp or whatever then feel free to drop by.

Its in cowdenbeath, Fife and I'm here sometimes on weekends too.

360 miles from here apparently. Probably a little bit too far for a day trip. Bother.

Not too far from me though. About 2 hours each way, give or take.

 

Tempting, but not this weekend. Busy with other stuff.

Today I'm trying to bodge a bigger battery into the alto without having to chop the original cables...

Ok, I need involved in this at some point.

 

I love a bit of bodging, I do.

 

 

If you crack open a tin of olive green paint though, I'm off.

To be, or not to be. Because Scottish.

This bit in particular makes this a superbly tempting offer.

 

Unfortunately, I start my Fridays at 4am in flippin' Truro, so doubt I'd make it before Saturday!

This was my solution!

I cut up an old towing eye and ground it down to the correct shape. It works surprisingly well.

 

 

Anyway I understand I'm probably quite far from a lot of you and Friday probably isn't the best day but still thought it was worth mentioning just in case...

And that's why we include battery security in the mot !

I couldn't sleep if I sent a car out like that . An uncovered positive lead / terminal !

It still needs some tape to finish it off...

Coming from the man who wants to paint everything matt black but is too much of a shitebag to actually do it.
