my passenger seat is adjustable. the bonus of it is that nearly anyone can sit in it and brace themselves, you can also put the seat forward put your take away behind the seat then move it back to stop it going everywhere as you hurtle home at 500mph before it gets cold.

I have had many amusing moments during my dockyard years but can't top that one mate

If I had witnessed that one, they would have needed an ambulance for me as I would have cracked my ribs, split my sides & pissed my pants !!

I was one of the lucky ones .... For some reason, whenever we had double bottom work coming up, I piled on the weight & was deemed too large for that kind of work.

Personaly, never had a problem with snots on my overhead welding

Seriously mate .... Completely forgot about those buggers that fizz about in the ear !!??

Here you go mate

Here's a picture of the Renault Scenic seat runner



Each runner is aproximately 360mm long and are 24mm in height.
The adjustment lever simply unclips to leave you with two individual runners, once they are mouted to the seat it'll be a piece of cake to alter the adjustment lever to suit

Here's a picture of the Citroen Xsara cooling fan



This was a front mounted fan on the Citroen & will push air into the radiator.

Ebay link to un-modded fan unit

It all fits under the Saturn nosecone well ... Quite tight on the top left hand corner but it clears by about 20mm.

Unable to find another Golf GTI radiator the same as my old one, I chose the Polo Mk3 radiator .... Same physical dimensions as the golf one, just missing the small vent pipe at the top.

I opted to use the larger Polo Mk3 rad because the core size is slightly larger than the Polo Mk2 rad & a good deal thicker too

Just keeping my post IVA options open ..... That Redtop engine is still calling to me

Polo Mk3 Radiator

Today ended up as a Grand Prix / Gardening / Rubbish clearing / Dog walking .... kinda day !!

Ear fizzers are a pain..


I guess my two silly moments where back at school circa 1991.

1) I was wellding a Z-Shaped leg for a computer desk with the Oxy kit. Did a nice neat weld well impressed with myself. Shut the rig down so I could move the work round. turned back and grabbed the work by the corners, and listend as something sizzeld.. Then ran to the sink and ran my hand under the tap for 15 minuets.

2) Was welding the table top on the workshop floor, crouching over the workpice, all going swimmingly. Stopping and resting periodicaly to check the work and rest my filler rod hand. One time during resting I smelt burning and then found I was resting the filler rod on my foot just befor the shoe started... OUCH!!!
