Sometimes work isn't so bad

I've had to be in work both days this weekend for a (minimum) 8 hour shift.

 

However, I'm only there to keep an eye on the 2 blokes doing the mechanical installations for the sludge pumps (sewage treatment works :( ) which gives me a bit of time to play about.

 

Today, I:

  • Stripped out my coil packs, cleaned up all the rubbers and frames and replaced with a slightly newer set (cheers CJ - from months ago!)
  • Stripped down my front brakes, wire brushed the discs and hubs and cleaned everything off properly (now realised I desperately need new pads from CW!)
  • Replaced my knackered old (brown?!) fuel pump with a shiny new Walbro
  • Stripped down my door cards and scraped/sanded the plastic bits ready for colour-coding tomorrow
  • Gave the engine bay a clean down, bedbath stylee (I just hope no-one at work wants that sponge back - it's pure black now)
  • and fitting my top radiator pipe (cheers Martin!)

 

So all in all a fairly good day. And to top it all, I'm being paid for the privilege :D

Sounds like a good day at work :)

 

One of my friends did stuff like this whilst he was working security. I swapped cars with a friend and he stripped and swapped everything from the interior to engine parts whilst at work!

hope your boss dont read this then[OOPS][/OOPS]

 

The boss used to be car crazy himself - he knows I wanted to work on it at the weekend, and he told me he was happy for me to work on the car as long as I kept on eye on the lads, got the inspections done, etc. :)

 

 

 

 

Finished off today by getting the following done:

  • Back-to-Blacked all door bits, engine plastics, windscreen-plastic-panelly-thing and rubber seals
  • Finished primering the door plastics rady for colour-coding
  • Replaced rear speakers
  • Stripped out everything from the boot to the front doors, including removing the rear seatbelts (install due soon!) and the roof lining
  • Dynamatted the roof, boot, side panels and rear seats
  • and most importantly, fitted my shiny holo-effect club logos :D (pics below, but don't really do them justice in the sunshine!)
