Skippy Posted Sunday at 15:09 Share Posted Sunday at 15:09 As planned a trip out on the old mountain bike this morning, covered about 35klms which isn’t a massive distance but about 80% of it was on dirt or gravel tracks and it takes its toll on my old bones! Set off about 0830 and the weather was ideal as it was cool(ish) and hazy but by the time I’d got home it was 34.5 Celsius in the shade……quite enough thankyou. Found an old railway station that sits on the Linea Verde close to me, falling apart, covered in graffiti and a bit spooky to be honest……..Pete would’ve loved it. Took a couple of photos for the old twat in case he drops in here to keep an eye on the place! Standing at the station and thinking about Pete made me feel a bit sad actually but then I thought he’d probably call me a cockney wanker and it made me grin. Stopped at the pub before heading home…….because I could. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted Sunday at 15:18 Share Posted Sunday at 15:18 I need a water jacket seal for the new turbo cartridge, only place I can find one is direct from Mercedes, luckily it is only £1.38, I also found a split crankcase breather hose so will fit that as well, I thought I would need to do some creative plumbing for the vacuum hoses for the wastgate actuator as according to the manual they are routed through the TiK pipe that I am getting rid of but on mine they are completely independent which is a bonus. Will finish it later in the week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaHead Posted Monday at 15:57 Share Posted Monday at 15:57 I used to have a '67 Chevy van.... I lined it myself w/ insulation & carpet. 90" wheelbase made it easy to park it just about anywhere. Did plenty of Riding, Camping & Skiing with it....had a 4.8 ltr. IL6 that was bulletproof....Still miss that old Beast. Not mine, but looked quite similar.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a single car garage @ the time....that was full of Motorcycles, so had to do it all outside in the elements....but was NO problem w/ the motor in between the front seats....just take the lid off the hinged "dogbox" & have full access. I even fit a fresh set of rings & a rebuilt cylinder head all from inside the van. The driveshaft was only 30" long between a 3-speed manual gearbox & a 12 bolt differential rear end. I would take my son skiing for his birthday every Jan. & it was like a rolling locker....just throw all the gear in & GO-- 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted Wednesday at 06:06 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:06 Today's the day I change the transmission oil of a Volvo XC60 and refit the fuel pump to the trike thing. I'm taking a sick bag as well as tools. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
