things i did this weekend on the mog...

Post by callyspoy »

although it is lovely to do big jobs and you get great satisfaction out of them, i personally believe that there is no better feeling than the one you get when you do little jobs. for example...
as per other thread i fitted a supra heater, instant increase in power from the fan.
i fixed my passenger handle, in that the spring had come loose which meant when locked it would just "flop" about. very annoying, but now, wonderful!
really really small one, i tacked back the door card! one corner had come up, so i fitted new door card clips.
and last but not least, i fitted tele dampers on the rear. haven't driven it yet, but wahey.
so yes, none of these jobs took long at all, none went wrong, it was just fun to tinker. so i am happy!
probably should have had a look at mot things as its next week... :-? AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean, the smallest items that don't work are great to use again when fixed.

It was the big jobs for me. I finished the front end rebuild - new front chassis legs, tie plates, inner wings and wheel arches. This week I will paint the 'new' engine bay and get the engine back in. It will keep the motivation going having some shiny new paint to look at!
