To bring this up to date, I started repairing my vandalism.

At this point unfortunately I have to get back to the day job. Stay tuned.

Fuck me thats amazing! no fucking around!

Chod Speed!  I am curious how are you managing to power the welder? slung a couple hook ended cables up and around a local power line?

[Mrs6C]

A mega power supply was brought from home for the occasion... that's all that needs to be known... 

[cort1977]

Good idea using the gaffer tape to make templates.

[juular]

[hairnet]

Is Mrs juular upset theres no V8

Haim on one tank when it's done?

Or will you be kept prisoner to fix certain peoples vehicles

[juular]

The crew are asleep on the job.

Lazy buggers.

[juular]

Jobs to do are as follows.

Fix LHM return line.

Replace octopus.

Repair the nearside inner arch.

Fit new tyres.

Replace exhaust backbox.

Weather looks set to get very exciting today and tomorrow so we'll see what can be done.

Started on the LHM return pipe. It disintegrated as I removed it.

Made a new one out of some hose and various fittings. Should see this car up the road at least.

[Tommyboy12]

Maximum effort. Very impressed! I am also of the persuasion that I procrastinate over welding so well done for getting stuck in

[juular]

Templates!

Please let this be a re-run of the legendary Mr_Bo11ox Avenger rescue episode. In which swapping the original wheels for replacements fitted with serviceable tyres was considered to be insufficiently challenging.

That's a white rattle can away from being finished.

[juular]

Productivity less than hoped.

Made up a patch panel for the inner arch. Obviously needs a run over with a flap disc to get rid of the flash rust but it's close enough.

Then went to go out to get some diesel for the BX and another calor gas bottle for the van.

Not today you don't..

It did rain quite a lot last night.

That rescue took a fair amount of time, but I will let the cylinderses enjoy telling you about that.

[hairnet]

how are ya getting with not being able to find a roll and squair?

@beko1987 welding services right there - be nice to him

 

[juular]

Chucked in 20L of diesel. @Talbot managed to fix the stubborn stuck steering lock.

 

It lives!

 

Might want rear spheres though 🤪

[mat_the_cat]

It was left in high for a bit to try and bleed the system. It was then put to normal and held height for ages after stopped which is a good sign. 

The back end is pretty harsh even on normal.

[stuboy]

good work , keep it up

[juular]

Wheels off to get tyres done.

Redid some of the welding from last time as it was awful .

Chassis rail cleaned out and welded.

That's all as I ran out of wire and need a cuppa.

I have a couple of spares...(well they're my girlfriend's actually).

In all seriousness I am loving this thread (and so are they!) - keep up the fantastic work.

At least a few years in the field, but I think it has been SORN since 2018.

We have survived due to bringing a stockpile of health* foods* in the camper fridge.

[JMotor]

I love this project.

Nae messin'. Just cracking on.

One question. Is one going to be as ambitious to drive said BX back hame!?

[juular]

It suddenly got quite Baltic down here.

Van leisure battery was getting a bit tired from sitting around so we couldn't fire up the heater either. 

A quick run this morning to get knitting wire should help charge it up a bit.

Also invested a whole eight pounds into a wheel refurbishment.

@MrsJuular did a nice job of those.

Finished off the welding this afternoon just as it got dark.

Got a new pet, one that didn't have eight legs for a change.

I kind of want to take it for an MOT unwashed.
