Things heating up

Still summer, still too hot to do much.

The car started getting hot more often than not, unless I was going over 40kmh it was at the 2nd top line on the gauge.

Swapped thermostat over with a spare, didnt fix.

Eventually checked with Steve and he thought the rad may be blocked – was over 100c at the top of rad just from idling.

Week or so later I went to Mikes and changed the fan switch + radiator to the ones from the Black car.

All is good, in fact it’s probably running too cool now. The thermo comes on in decent time, not sure if it ever turns off though

Summer nothing, had me a blasttt?

Me no likey summer, hot sweat grrrr.

Nothing done on the cars at all.

Did get some air tools for christmas,

  • Air Sand Blast Gun – Spot
  • 3/8″ Ratchet Wrench
  • 150mm Air Hammer
  • 1/4″ Die Grinder
  • 3/8″ Reversible Air Drill
  • 100mm Angle Grinder
  • 1/2″ Impact Wrench
  • 20m Auto Loaded Air Hose Reel

Also ordered a Engine Crane on christmas day – because of decent price and free delivery, on a 95Kg item!

Today I went out and bought a Sidchrome 8 Drawer Tool Chest for all my stuff, will hopefully get a roller cabinet for my birthday in August.

Mounties

Not much happening lately, summer arriving soon which sucks arse.

New Suzuki Sport mounts arrived today via Streeter, slightly harder than stock I believe.

Huzzah

We have fuel.
Drove it to Mikes, and broke down 100metres or so from his house. He towed me to the shed and I got to work.

4 Hours later it was back together. The positive wire on the pump cradle had come loose on the screw terminal, did it up and wall-ah.

Dribs n Drabs

RSR550

Picked up the new fuel filter (Z518),

RSR660

Windscreen is finally out, worse rust than I though – but not holey.
Picked up the bits from the powdercoaters, cost was a smidge more than I hoped but still awesome.

Blaaack silicon vacuum hose arrived from eBay, surprisingly quick from HK.
Mounts ordered.
