Clunk!
I love the sound of a really expensive car door closing. The thought of ROJ making the same sound almost makes me salivate…
So I put on the doors.
They don’t clunk.
Yet.
But they do give the car a more car like shape.
When I arrived at the farm the weather was appalling – but Monday morning it looked lovely.
And yesterday it was glorious.
Still – I wasn’t there for the weather.
As well as putting on the doors and cleaning up and fitting the window winders, I also renovated and fitted the front brake calipers – using new stainless steel pistons and an AM parts seal kit. The Aston uses Girling 3 pot calipers – the front ones are huge. You may remember I originally painted them gold, and they looked revolting, so I repainted them silver, much better.
So what else did i do?
I broke another tap in a captive nut and had to grind it out using a diamond bit in my Dremel – what a bore that was.
I took apart the exhaust mounts and painted them with Hammerite – the new springs I ordered flummoxed me, they are coiled in the oppposite direction.
And now it’s back to work for a rest!
I was rather tickled by the packaging that some wire wheels for the Dremel came in – I had ordered them through Ebay from Hong Kong …
