Time to change the rubber fuel line from the tank on the dyane and also the rubber bits from the main line to the pump and then pump to carb, they are all a bit old and soft 688C7279-7DAC-43FB-A865-43D3C7214648.jpeg.5cbbb482e7a51979fed0789ec3edc3d7.jpeg

there is the tank now to undo the fasteners,

All came undo apart from the jubilee clips on the filler neck, they decided to self destruct, nothing a strategic angle grinder won’t solve

and then new plugs, fresh oil and jobs a good ‘un

Sometimes I think, am I autoshite enough? Then I look around

 Today the maestro had to be welded outside in the high  winds (as the mini is now immobile in the garage) 

reason, exhaust fell off, see below

soon sorted with some added gusseting for strength

Then I realised the n/s sill and a post were a bit, well, gone

lots of cutting, welding and taking little card templates for cutting bits of metal to stick in the gaps later, seems I didn’t follow the line of the sill very well, but fuck that shit, at least it’s made of metal now, look how far back the bloody rust went as I poked at it (as can be seen by how much is covered in zinc rich primer)

that is enough for today, bloody cars
