Cavcraft Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 First 'official' job done in the truck. Typically one of the narrowest, jam packed one way streets in town. In the dark. clayts450, HMC, Shirley Knott and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The Civic needs to be re-insured after all the mods. I'm going to take it off the road for a few weeks, as at the beginning of August I won't have to declare a claim made against my mum in 2014 any more, where her old Polo's ABS decided not to work and cracked the bumper on a nearly new Jazz. Naturally the occupants claimed whiplash. That should soften the blow slightly. It's a telephone job as online is just 'computer says no'. It's frustrating not to use it, but the T5 is more than enough fun. In other news the 305 has departed northwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I left Mike at Dishforth Interchange on the A1M as we both needed to come up opposite ends of the North East Region. I have since heard the 305 is back home in County Durham. paulplom, Shirley Knott, Bucketeer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketeer Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 This page of the News24 thread is already making me very happy. There are loads of old Vauxhalls, HMC is back in a happy(er) place, Cavcraft's 2nd/3rd/4th career is taking off, loserone has a new toy (can't quite tell if he's happy or dismayed in that photo), and the arbiter of good taste in most motoring things RobT is perving over the same nondescript Astravan as me.

Don't forget to SORN the Civic, so you don't get an automated fine for having no insurance. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The last issue of Retro Japanese goes on sale today. I quit for personal reasons, but the publisher decided to call time on it for commercial reasons. What a three years though. I've loved editing this one. Very grateful to esteemed historic Autoshiters Hirst and RatDat for their contributions to this one. How cool was it that I was able to edit a magazine where I could have a Mitsubishi Colt as the lead image? It means I'm now officially a full time YouTuber. Which is a bit scary, but also exciting. If you like, you could buy a copy via the link below. Also, keep an eye out for Retro Cars. It has been comprehensively overhauled into something more akin to Autoshite in print. https://shop.kelsey.co.uk/issue/list/publication/RJP HMC, brownnova, jumpingjehovahs and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if i take off the bigger bolts and the hose clamp and dipstick i can get the pump out without removing the belt again So took it all off again, removed the flange the pump bolts onto with the pump this time and made sure it was all tight - I think it was a long bolt at the bottom of the pump that i couldnt see when fixing it all back up and was not closing in fully. so back on the pump, back on the belt and all others and start her up. Went first tip as per usual - let her run 20 mins or so topping up the water as it burped out. Rad is getting hot so i am guess its pumping. Around the block. All good. Needs a a longer spin to see if the temp is being controlled. Cos that is what prompted the pump change, but when i removed it, it seemed fine so, fingers X-ed.

I've never been unemployed since I turned sixteen and I've never had a job interview. This should go well*. Stay positive Andy. I made myself unemployed in February as I needed to quit the bullshit. It made for an arse nipping moment when I eventually got it right in my head, was too late then though. Whilst the current job is a stopgap and not what I plan longer term, the previous job was the one last thing progressing my mental health issues and reminding of bad memories. I needed to distance from that and also certain people who I brought with me from previous jobs that I considered friends and screwed me over. Working anywhere was better than that. Keep focused, tailor the future job applications by individual job spec etc and stay positive. I've lots of experience recruiting so happy to review a CV, discuss interviews, or chat etc, just drop me a message on Facebook if needed. Dont know the circumstances on why you've made your decision but it must be the right one for you right now. Good on you for having the bollocks to do it. dollywobbler, Bucketeer, BorniteIdentity and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some TLC Mike and a bit more time with it and you will warm too it. She is quite a charming old thing. In other news the guy I bought it from added me on Facebook yesterday. We have laughed about Saturdays events and he has stated he is just happy somebody else is into old tat like him.
