mikeyb Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Oh God, are there only 40 days to go?!!!!!!!!One dead Stag is still sitting on the driveway!!!!Just back from hol, left the missus unpacking and tidying up the house etc whilst I fitted a nice replacement master cylinder. We've got brakes now! Took the plunge and booked an MOT for Mon afternoon. Spent the rest of the day removing 10 years' worth of grime and spider poo and 2 months' worth of baked on bee poo from the paintwork - had to resort to the mop and cutting compound in the end. This evening's job is to scrub the interior to try and reduce the lovely smell of mouse poo and mould. Oh and she runs soooo sweet now that all the spark plugs are screwed in more than finger tight and cylinders 1 & 3 plug leads are attached to the correct plugs - whoops!If the MOT's a success, then the engine comes out - doh! Might start a blog if I can work out how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sorted the frame for the hood today.Remaining things to do;- Refit the exhaust and put a new centre silencerbox under the car;- Get some new tyres and have the front alignment checked;- Some fiddling with the carbs;- All those things I have a feeling I have forgotten :B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Amazing what a bit of panic can stimulate - got home last night after a 12 hour shift at work, rejected offers offers of beer, food and woman (black marks attained for that one!) and spent an hour wet vacuming and scrubbing the totally minging interior. Good result, smell of mould and mouse poo now much greatly reduced when I stuck my head in this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Unbelievable! The Stag has cleaned up a treat, and passed it's MOT yesterday. Bad news is that the engine oil pressure was alarmingly low - 30psi hot when running, 10psi on tickover.I'm wondering if it's realistic to have the engine out for a full rebuild in the now tight timescales? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
