Out of the list of things to do i have done almost zero.

Did fill it with anti-freeze finally. I was dreading it finding a leak somewhere but all seems good. Hoping to find time for an oil and filter change at the weekend.

It is the way sometimes! I'm sure it'll all be ticked off eventually, at least you only have 2 projects

Mine is totally on hold.

If anyhing happens to it it wont get fixed 'till the sheds finished now.

Whilst i had some motivation i have done the oil and filter.

Think thats it ready for winter. Already running better. This is the only vehicle i have ever owned where an oil and filter change genuinely seems to make it run smoother.

Another door fitted. So we now have two 99% rust free doors on!

This also means we have door handles that work. I do have a set of door locks but need to go through and see if i have keys for them. Had an issue with all the window mechs being rotten too and after much swapping of everything have decent windows in too.
Washed the dash and doors.

Lovely and clean when you get in it, even smells better.

Had a bash at painting a wheel black but managed to get dirt and a paint reaction inbetween coats. Ip close it looks arse but i think once it is all yellow the black wheels will make it stand out even more.

Also tightened up a PAS pipe that was seeping. Hopefully will solve the leak.

Finally ran out of the original head lamp bulbs so i've gone all 20th century and splashed out on some halogen bulbs.

I'm feeling quite motiviated again now i've done some small jobs. Hopefullly my paternity leave will be put to good use and i'll get all the body work tidied up.

When we get some spare time or money, you know that we end up spending it on our Zuks - it's a sickness really...

:-D

I have acculated loads of bits to fit, bodge and repair. May aswell get on with it.

I haven't actually fitted the bulbs yet as my front wings/headlamp surrounds are a tad loose and i don't want the vibrations to blow the bulbs.
