I'll give you £100 for your plate mate - you know I like to help out where I can

Nice - But carpet was the way to go won't scratch it's completely impractical but think how comfy the car would be

So I told Mrs Keyser I don’t want a party for my 50th birthday I’m happy with a quiet night and let it slip by unnoticed. So no party was organised. No instead completely unknown to me she organised a BBQ Beb our favourite BBQ chef was on hand to cook far to much lovely food and Mrs Buster organised a large number of friends and forum members to attend my 50th not party! A huge thanks to all you lot (well done for not one of you letting slip) who came down from miles away. i had a cracking day a great laugh and far to much food any one that took pictures feel free to post, I’m off to do something I don’t do often and have a few beers Thanks again guys n gals I’ve had a cracking day

Here's a shocker for you - work on the Pop Started by bolting the jig I made from @Beb 's car to the chassis rails Cut some metal up made my first 2 upper control arm mounts Then made a top plate Those that read the Rotary table post above will have noticed the original top mount being cut up like so Then the new top mount With a bit of welding and sanding the two became one The plate was then trimmed to a sensible size I said to Mrs Keyser "It looks OEM" she said "only if OEM means Over Engineering Maniac" - Not sure how to feel about that anyway between that and the rotary table build that's all I had time for today Left it here More tomorrow (as soon as I sneak out of the shopping trip to Ikea Keyser Maximum Effort

Yes it's later @andybp If you're that bored you could reply to my pm Nice @andy james So this is the next on the list - I got this rotary table with my milling machine and have used it twice, the problem is that it is hard to use and the shaft is bent so it keeps sticking and it takes about an hour to do a full rotation using the handle Anyway I put the shaft in the lathe to bring it back to true, put a new thread on the end Found this - I think it's a brake piston from a metro anyway it made a good pulley Made another pulley from some bar stock Then added a windscreen wiper motor It's fab isn't it? I thought I'd test it before adding a speed controller - works well, here's a little vid I Love it Random picture of a foot for @mattross1313 More in a mo

Good evening my trusty 12 readers I hope you are all well on this cold and damp evening. So a catch up on the week to get us going.......................... Finished the other shelf Then got the BIG tab;le out Spent 2 hours cutting the middle legs off - the reason may become apparent later in the build, then got it level. I bought 2 yes 2 digital levels I then made these to attach the cross member it's level the other way as well Had to sort the heat warped chassis rail This one- relief cut and clamped Welded cleaned it up and it's much better now I fitted the rails and checked everything was true Happy with that, I had this all ready for Saturday morning More later .....................................

Good luck mate, hope its nothing major

Is this why you didn't apply?

Well it won't be the cable as it's a hydraulic clutch. It could be oil on the exhaust/engine that got there when the work was done unlikely as you would smell it all the time when the car is warm, however if your moving the smell will be blown away so that's the most likely cause. Then it could just be the clutch just bedding in or you're slipping the clutch to hold it and getting it hot - don't hold a car by slipping the clutch too much! To see if the clutch is slipping get moving on a quiet road select 4th or 5th at a low speed 40mph or so then floor the throttle if the engine revs away and the car does not accelerate then the clutch is slipping, if the car pulls away slowly (as you are in a high gear for the speed) the clutch is fine. If it slips take it back and tell them it's not adjusted correctly. If it does not slip the smell should go after a couple of good drives that heat the engine through, if it still smells after that and the clutch is not slipping you need to be looking for leaks, something may have got damaged while the gearbox was off. Hope that helps Keyser

Looks lovely

Duly appointed Ya nutter

Tea, coffee and left over doughnuts at the Zed Shed

This is getting out of hand now Thanks for the interest though it motivates me to post more nonsense on my tinkering Now I just need to appoint a Fan Club manager

Great Advert mate GLWTS

Good idea but no - it's not big enough Hey @Beb is on here 7 and counting
