What is the pre-project drive boot trim??

I removed my smartnav as it is kaputz, need to find out if I can move the subscription to another unit or cancel

Just need to fit new rear door locking solonoid, fit rear tweeters, and run some wires for Raistlins remote mod!

Nothing to do with cars I'm afraid.

Cleared the pond and recomissioned pump and filter. Work on the kitchen. Avoided pointless trip to shopping mall.

And now, some Beers!

Pah, so you had a lazy weekend then!

My weekend comprised:

Took off the front bumper, rebuilt the fog light holder which had shattered into 9 bits.

Straightened the mangled grill and repaired the grill holder

Re glued all the grill fixings which had broken off back to the bumper.

Stripped off the wing joiners and re glued them.

Did a fibre glass repair to the bumper

Fitted a new set of fan blades

Raised the crash bar and slam panel to get better closure and adjusted the bonnet position to suit.

straightened the cooling pipes in front of the radiator and rebuilt the supporting brackets.

Glued the battery cover.

fixed the outside temperature sensor

cleaned the plenums

replaced a broken foglight

dried out the condensation in one headlight

cleaned the car

cleaned off the tar from the wings/doors ( took ages - council re-tarred the road and didn't put enough stones on it)

Cut the boot mat to fit properly ( My wife has only been asking me for a year)

Fitted LED side lights including filing the things

waxed and polished, hoovered the car

Moved the synergy air sensor into the air intake

did the bonnet cable mod

Checked all fluid levels - topped up as necessary

then as a treat - switched the synergy up to 9 and thrashed the car around the lanes for a bit!

Opened a bottle of wine and came on the forum.....

Fitted my multi cd player in to the glove compartment and new radio head unit - only trouble is now I have had to take out my Hans temperature gauge until I can find a new location for it. I feel like I have lost an arm at the mo without it!
