Changed the handbrake cable on the mito without removing the awkward as fuck armrest bracket.

EFB because stop/start.

Interestingly/handily this Civic doesn't have Japanese sized terminals.

I saw the 027, but didn't pay much attention to owt else. I need to get a 027 for the 306.

It's good to have SAE terminals...until you need JIS ones.

How many days did that take?

I see that Halfords extension. Is that a Halfords ratchet? Haven't seen one like that since nineteen canteen.

Probably easier with a ¼" drive.

Picked the cable up from the motor factors after work tonight. I couldn't find a uj for my smaller sockets so had to go with the half inch.
I'm taking up keyhole surgery next if you're needing your spine fettled or such like.

Had to be at the house today to sign for the bathroom vanities being delivered so decided the waiting time would be well spent unearthing the Renault.

Battery was dead flat and absolutely refused to take a charge. Jumped it, pumped up one tire, put in a bit of fresh fuel and it fired right up.

Took the Pontiac out, which was really unhappy and got smoky, one lifter decided to undo itself in the time it's been parked by the sounds of it.
But, that's now out. Funny to think there's only 30 years of design between those two cars...

That Renault 9 certainly is a nice looking thing. It looks a lot better as a 2 door than the European 4 doors we had, I might have to keep an eye out for one.

Busy seeing how much worse they could make things.

Called into the garage to book the transhit in for the oil cooler. It's pissing out and getting worse.
This is that 'stang that's made entirely of patches underneath. The owner must be gutted.
Picture of my bentley interior which is also waiting for work.

MOT exempt innit.
Just tell him to not go prodding those patches too hard.
