Well the weather beat me, but today we managed to remove the lovely stainless steel exhaust from Soapy ready to fit to shoestring. And half removed the old exhaust form shoestring ready.

Also thought we would look at the rear brakes, but one of the drums is somewhat stuck on!! the little bolt that holds the drum on is rounded... so 20 minutes of hammer time and its still stuck... so its going to be ground out some time and then one can remove the drum to look at the brakes.

the other side ws nice and easy. the adjusters are seized and the wheel cylinder looked mank! so out of me special box of bits I donated tow new wheel cylinders and a set of shoes. I also have a set of wheel adjusters I will post as soon as i get time. so that should be them sorted.

All in all not exactly a lot done, but hey I arrived at 1pm the rain arrived at 4pm, and we needed time to poke and prod things, talk, drink tea (no bacon!!) and let the welder look at the car.

Bets of all was the nice yummy food provided fresh from the cooker after i washed up!! yayyyy for super cooks
:lol:

You didn't think I was going to let you walk around my house covered in grease did you??? Where have you left my washing up liquid anyway? I have dishes that need doing!

Lots of bits to clean, paint and put back on (when it stops raining!). Unfortunately more rust holes have been found

But a nice chap will be welding it up soon (I hope).

There was bacon in the fridge! There was even a kind of fleshy cake mix in the fridge had he wanted such delights.

But I can't go spoiling him too much just yet!

so you found a exhaust for your Ha?

Naa the exhuast has been borrowed off Soapy... so Clara still needs a full system for shoestring. We are fitting it so shoestring can get an MOT... will swap it back at some point I am sure.

If you have a van system Mike. I am sure that will do the trick.
