Default A distraction(s)

Well After having 30mins looking at the roadster cooling system over the weekend I decided to put some time in on the other cars.

I fitted a towbar to my Mondeo MK3 ( which has only just come back from a 2 week holiday at the garage waiting for a new injector )

I removed all the seats from the back of the galaxy and gave it a good sweep/vac after our holiday.

I fitted the Cosworth 4x4 Bonnet to my XR4x4 TT250 Project.

And I looked more closely at a hole in my 24V 4x4 Sapphire Project

I had a hole in the boot floor and rear panel which I found a few months back (probably 12-18). I expanded it a few weeks back and decided it was time to start and fix it.




Whilst pondering this earlier today I remembered that I was sensible enough to salvage the lower rear quaters from my old old 2.0 Ghia which bit the dust in 2006. I salvaged the lower portion of both quaters and both full sill sections. The car was rot free and only needed a replacement prop donught but I had a XR4x4 waiting to replace it anyway... So..




As it was a hatchback the panel is not a perfect match but it covers of the most difficult parts of the repair.

And I set about sorting the hole to put it in



There's a lot of surrounding areas to fix but it's a start!
