Project Sierra

[Dave Taylor]

Sierra is getting closer, we could do with a weeks worth of good weather, and we'll turn the corner. James ordered to Poly bushes for the front end yesterday on E-bay from Flo-Flex, and they where delivered by 10 am this morning, now that service!!

We picked up an exhaust box at Stafford last week 2" in Twin 2" out, so exhaust will exit from both sides just in front of the rear wheels. Now looking for X-flow exhaust manifold 4-2-1

Well that's it, the apprentice has gone to live on the Isle of Man today. Funny how it's just as money needs spending to finish the Sierra.
Oh well, wallet get ready for a bashing.

Did you not think the exploding hub centre was a bit of a giveaway. That was done with a rubber mallet too.

[Dave Taylor]

Hee! and here's me thinking, loose nuts, Fred Elliott will never be dead while you here to take his place, Ah say Fred Elliott... you know the rest. pass the big hammer our James I need to fit the windscreen, and it's a bit tight.

[Adrian Southgate]

Sorry Dave only got half a dozen and they are all different sizes...
Fetch the good one round and we can compare.
BTW... I did that damage to the drum trying to remove the half shaft from my old sierra... *whistles innocently*

[Dave Taylor]

Well the Garage/ Gazebo is squeezed in along with Caravan, we had to put a bridge over the garden pond to support one of the leg's of the garage, so we have a lovely water feature in the far corner, covered this with blue tarpaulin so we all know its water underneath, well that's the idea.
Not happy with the weather but it is England. Sanding and body work also finished tonight, if the skies are blue tomorrow, I'll get primer on, more bl**dy sanding, and with luck on our side top coat, but we'll see.

Ade do you have a Mk2 rear brake drum? looks like this one as been run with loose wheel nuts as it has started to break up and the stud holes are twice the OE size.

[Dave Taylor]

Ade the garage is gone, so back in the open for now. When we are ready for top coat I'll move the caravan, and put the garage back up. Oh and yes I have heaters for the Garage.

[Adrian Southgate]

Despite the sunshine today its still not painting weather is it Dave. Have you got some form of heater for the garage?

[Dave Taylor]

Still sanding!!!
Got the Sierra back in the garden, even with the caravan in there, so able to carry on sodding sanding.

[Dave Taylor]

Just a mock up of what the Beema lights will look like, and so to work, saw, fab, glass...

[Adrian Southgate]

I can have a try, its pretty much at the back of the pond... i mean garage, I will get in there tomorrow if its not raining...more water inside than out at the moment, b****y roof.
