Timmo's Ol' Girl!!
Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 8:09 pm
was up at pops today for the first time in a while, and figured i'd go and have a look over the Ol' Girl!
disturbingly, its been well over 6 months since i fired her up last, due to one thing and another, so figured tday i'd have a nose around and see how she is!!
a little embarassed by the condition to be honest, but! considering its not been touched paint wise in over 2 years now its still got a half decent depth and clarity to the paint!!
all manor of things collecting under the sunroof deflecter,
Erm..... yeah!
dash lights still all good!
for those of you into your phones, when i took it off the road, the Sony Ericsson P series was Still the Smartphone to have!
was quite pleased in all that evrything stillworked on the car, and is nothing more than a day spend witht he magic hands to get it back to shinyhappyness,
even more so as the lil vid i did of it starting, took three short attempts from reconnecting the battery and she fired up! - Filled the drive in nice oily blue smoke mind from the valve stem seals being Shot now, but fired up and sounded good! except for a 'slightly' noisy lhm pump! (appolls for the sound quality, blackberry's arnt famed for the media capabilities loL! )
pump in all its glory!!
but over all very pleased with it, faith restored into the Ol' Girl camp and no more considerations of fixing and selling it!
next big job will be to get it home! then i can get the head off and sort the stem seals, and get the octapus done and then clean and flush the system, replace the pump and job done!
Happy days!!!
Sorry Mike, No quads for you!
