I’m still slowly ticking off jobs on the whiteboard, and although this wasn’t a “pre-wof” job, I wanted to get it done before a couple of other jobs in the queue that were.
Tastes Like Petrol
The handling getting extra murdery prompted me to open my wallet and replace some more parts.
It’s been a big weekend of work on the Alto, but before I detail the main lot of work, today I did some upgrades in the interior.
Because I can’t leave anything well enough alone, I wanted to do some science and see if I could make a low-cost big brake kit for the Alto.
I feel like a WOF inspector wouldn’t look kindly upon a car like the Marina failing to start, so I needed to address that.
Amongst all the other cars that have had their time in the garage the past couple of months, the Marina hasn’t been forgotten about.
In my quest to not spend any money and do nothing on the Leaf, I spent money and did stuff on the Leaf. Yeah.
So yeah, I sold the black GD3 Fit and decided to try my hand at a different flavour of car.
In the early R06A engines like in my Alto, the crank thrust bearing issue is well known. I decided to preemptively replace mine.
Oops, I completely forgot to wrap this section up. After polishing the car within an inch of its life, it was time to take it in for the WOF.
