Big list indeed that is!
I think mine is
Paint calipers and sort the rusty panels (sills).
Short list but guarantee its not limited to those jobs

I am thinking about going back to work 3 days a week just for the Winter months. I want to do a lot of Zedding and loads more things next year so the cash would come in handy.

This winter I'm afraid the dakar is getting neglected ( yes i know i hang my head in shame ) .
But its full steam ahead on lynne's zed (my youngest would like half his bedroom back )
I need to fix the grub screw on the offside roof catch ( to adjust)
Finishing touches to roof repair
Then take roof cover off leave out in the rain .
If all good full interior refit
Then full car clean ready for spring

New battery - going in on Saturday.
Bodywork deep clean - polish - and wax.
Adjust Hardtop - ever so slightly - right to left.
Clean engine bay - again.
Lubricate window runners.

Poly bush the front end.
Braided Brake hoses.
I have the refurbished rear beam to bush and fit.
Re do the tank straps whilst the sub frames out. Renew the hard lines and swing arm bushes.
Dependant on how it then sits may be a full suspension change.
Should keep me busy enough i suppose
