Someone has to ask, why Rhubarb?

It was a debate on bmbabe's ///M name as its Dakar and they live in the same garage.The name was to go with custard but sunny was the name chosen in the end

 

[Ianmc]

Wish I hadn't asked

As Billy Connolly says" sometimes things jump into my head and keep saying talk about me, talk about me until I have to ask the question" JIM

 

[BMBabe]

Dodgy names aside, wow what a line up!










(And Ketchup and Mustard should have been on the poll I say!)

 

[Mnbrennan]

Well I finally managed to drop the subframe after being stuck by a single Allen head for a while:



State of the bushes:




A large order has been placed for some new goodies for the car!

 

[Mnbrennan]

For those interested in the state of the sills :

A bit crusty Martin but for the age of the car it's in remarkable condition.

never a dull moment in your garage , looks good and I'm sure you will make it even better

Those beam bushes look fresh to me, but the pic is a little blurry! A lesson to everyone to look behind the sill covers and see what's lurking, good job you are in there now to sort them before they go really bad...

They might look fresh but they're not in a good way, hoping the poly bushes will make a big difference.

The diff Bush is essentially able to be pushed out by hand (leaving the metal ring!)

I've separated the diff and trailing arms from the subframe now. I was also hoping to remove the front calipers and discs but whoever put the caliper carriers on last time definitely didn't want them to come off!!

More interested to find out what that brass item is hanging down? Temp Sensor??

 

[Mnbrennan]

It's something that's been replaced which would ordinarily be attached inside the wing. I'm assuming it's an ambient temperature sensor

 

[oldcarman]

Nice job Martin! Are the goodies getting wrapped as @ BMBabe birthday gifts?? JIM

 

[Mnbrennan]

Today starts with tidying up the undercarriage. After removing the subframe I'm left with this

 

[Antm72]

Are you changing the tank straps whilst they can be got too ?
