The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

More touring ... Bournemouth to Lime Regis via posh lunch in Studland ... No "Super" available so not liking the hills much

 

About 120 miles, most of it wishing I’d bothered to crawl underneath and cut the cable ties holding the heater flaps open, bloody hot in a singlecab cab today

 

Today fitted new front shocks, new steering damper, greased the front beam and cleaned the front wheels.

 

Cleaned me idle jets went for a drive... runs sweeet.

 

About to give him a shampoo now it’s got a bit cooler

Took it to Yorkshire and broke it

 

Gave mine a shampoo as well and a good rub down with the chamois.
Now fresh as a daisy.

 

me too... got too late to polish so thought a chamois would have to suffice

 

Repaired the door handle... only 18 month old and the pivot bits have worked they’re way inboard and come in mounted

Cheap rubbish!!

 

and it doesn’t cost you anything to be a dodger

 

Steampunked my headlights (and cleaned up the lenses and reflectors, dealt with a bit of eye-socket rust, and replaced the rusty drywall screws holding them in).



I kind of like them like this; I might clearcoat them.

 

Started organising the store now that the "sub-lettees" are finally gone ...
Will have the space to start work on the project.
AND ... spent a while poring over these photos as if I knew what I was looking for! ... (fuel leaks, but just oil from probably some gasket or other


Thought that vertical pipe (fuel?) was wet shiny, but it ain't ...

 

Is that a simple job?
Looking for anything to build up my grease monkey skills!

 

Now wish I'd found out how ours were held open in November ... Did that 780 miles with wadding over the dash vents and both 1/4 lights in full open bug catching mode ...

 

Yesterday - took to garage and had CV joints replaced - one completely devoid of grease apparently!

 

lol i have dell carbs so yeah fairly easy.

 

Temporarily stopped using it as a 30 mile a day daily driver last Friday.
Topped up with petrol late last night. Loading holiday junk including inflatable canoe. Checked oil. Poked ignition wiring to check it stayed on coil. Gazed into the engine bay for a bit. Kicked tyres. Topped up water tank for if we want tea/coffee .
Good to go tomorrow.

Will have lunch in 'spoons in Dorchester not at The Dorchester
