I sold a  car to a guy that was turning a 4 door XJ8 into a 2 door coupe .

He'd done one side, made a fantastic job , it looked factory , didn't want me to take any pictures as he didn't want anyone getting wind of it until he turned up to show it .

It'll probably be in a magazine when it's finished , I wouldn't have a clue how you'd even start a job like that

It's like that guy making the Rover 75 coupe and convertible.

 

He just sprung them upon us.

They're all hiding from the wind and rain in the bottom corner

I do like this old thing it's a useful wagon to have on the fleet. 

It delivered a mobi scooter yesterday and the day before was collecting a load of IKEA flat pack.

It's even carted the brides maids about for a mate's wedding and the council begrudgingly let me into the tip as well.

It's just a shame the seats are a faff to remove/refit and it certainly doesn't do modern van mpg's.

Aye, they're a nice van to drive and they GLF but bugger me can they drink.

What's she trying to do? Lick the leaves? Or is she getting ready for a munch?

He's moved on and is now getting pain relief from growing his own medication.

We've finally got one of these mega parts washers at work. 

 

It's not cheap (you have to rent it off NCH) but it's really effective, and most importantly it's one of the most satisfying things I've ever used. These tanks usually take about 25 minutes to get fairly clean, even after soaking them for a month. On my first go I had this one done in 3 minutes.

I want one of these though I'd probably make no money as I'd be doing stuff for free

Even better if you could do it like this

Wafty barge - 500 mile round trip, mostly motorway with analogue cruise control, velour and t'missus. 30 mpg and we risked the sun roof.

Happy Days.
Back to work now

Weeds. In the patio. Grrr. The rest is looking good. Apart from. The grass which I cut too short.

There is bridge near me where happy couples attach "love locks". Sometimes it doesn't work out...

Fantastic weather up here today so took the derg for a decent walk. Unfortunately the urge for an outside pint was too hard to resist. 1/10 must try harder.
