I have been getting the urge to do a bit of work on the Porsche now it is getting a bit warmer.
In order to do that I need to tidy out my shed.
One of the things that needs moving out is the front wing I got to replace the one that got damaged when my gazeebo took off.

Yesterday I got home before it got dark so I whipped the old wing off and stuck it on a bench



it left me with this



Just to make it easier for me today it is pi55ing down.
I put it on anyway



looks ok, might give it a polish if it ever stops raining.



I have also been working through those annoying little things that you might be tempted to leave, because they are not annoying enough to spur you into action.
Well I made the discision to do all these things, starting with one of the horns not working and the seat belt adjuster not being adjustable.
I got the bits from Carl off that car with a tree shaped dent in the front.

These are the old ones



Still a few more bits to do, but only minor niggles, boot light doesn't work, stuff like that.

I still have it.
The only thing that has broken so far is this



Just got a new steering wheel off Carl



Might put that on at the weekend, been too busy working on the Porsche to do anything with the six, not that it needs much, touch wood

Just been driving the old banger and it keeps going.
Even the air con still works (touch wood)

I got this off Carl the other day


I have to keep resisting the urge to call it a 'three phase radio'
I got the stalk too so it all works 'proper like'

Hello chaps, I still have the old rattler.

The Heated rear window has never worked since I have had it because the tab where you plug the wire in was snapped off the glass.

I got hold of a 3 phase lid off of here.
The wires had been cut off almost flush with the lid so I swapped the wiring from the old lid.
That was a PIA



I decided to make it a phase 2.75 by fitting the old wash wipe system because the new one looked cheap and rubbish.



Sadly the spoiler had seen better days and looked terrible so I had that painted.




After that I just used it.

In the course of which I met a hare on the road out of the village.

Needless to say, neither the hare or my bumper survived the contretemps.



As it took out one of the blanks



I decided to put new fogs in.

I thought that if I had a nice shiney bumper the grille would look scabby, so I got it, and a new pair of hockey sticks painted up.



Today I put it all together.



You may have spotted the deliberate mistake.
I got it all on an lined up then stood back to admire it.
That was when I noticed the reflector was on the p**s.
I had to take it all back off again so I can send the faulty lamp back.
So everything is just finger tight ready to come back off again.
what a ball ache.

Hello chaps, I am still alive and kicking and the Peugeot is still going strong.

I must admit that I did loose a lot of enthusiasm when the mother in law ran into my freshly painted front end though.

Anyway, I have gotten hold of another bonnet but I need to get it painted before it goes on.

It recently started to make a squeeking noise which was quite annoying but I cured that with some of these;








I think it took about 2 hours all in which was equally divided between spannering and looking for the pulleys which Mrs Tea had hidden.

Not the most difficult job I have ever done but if my fingers had been three inches longer it would have helped.

I do have the crank pulley too but I am not going to fit that until I do the cambelt.

I'm still plodding on mate.

Not had any jobs in Leicester though so it must have saved you a fortune in teabags.

Porsche is still a project yes, I have been collecting a few bits and pieces for it.
