My winter project is to ignore it during the cold months and hope by summer its solved all its problems on its own

Remove boiler & investigate/renew wooden bearers underneath --- set fire to one during a prolonged steaming with maximum fire in grate.

 

Wasn't a great problem --- just opened a hull valve & let the launch "sink" a little.

 

It's the joys of old technology & old men combining.

Not supoosed to set it on fire !!

 

working on a viking funeral bob???

My winter project will hopefully be kitting out an entirely new garage (fingers crossed we're moving!) with doors, insulation, heating, new floor, pillar lift, etc... and not touching a car at all!

Finish last years winter mods

 

Also, as Dan, kit out new garage, oh and start building another one.

my plans will be...…...

 

pull engine and box out,

replace thrust bearing,

sort slack in short shift,

put old pivot pin back,

get prop checked and balanced,

sort speedo pick up,

replace drive shafts check diff and replace if ness

re-do boot,

replace crap grey carpet,

fit new bonnet that has been sat for two years

change front brake pads

change rear shoes

and maybe a rear brake conversion.

 

In reality, prob drain fluids, brake pad/shoes and put coolant back in next year lol!

Oooo you've just reminded me I do have a rear diff seal to do... hmmm... that can probably wait until spring

have you not got a small issue with engine to sort also??

That'll be done this weekend winter doesn't count

See you at EOSB then?

Maybe, maybe, let's see how this weekend goes - don't want to count my chickens

Well I`ve had a reminder from the road tax man saying times up at the end of this month, and I dont think i`ll be taxing her for another 6 months, so I suppose I better think about replacing my valve caps

impressive, either have too much time on your hands or just awesome! go with the latter lol

 

No chickens are coming to EOSB just a BULL (Plus kit car not essential!)
