baileys mk2 polo loon

well had a puller on it and a big hammer no joy looks like its gonna be a new stub axlel

well got the fooker off i made my self a puller that fastens to two of the wheel nuts i had that mutch pressure on it its closed the hole for the split pin. so it was well and truly stuck

my peice of engineering genius







what remains of the stub axle







and ive done this all while looking after my boy all you do is fill the car with toys and play on

gutted mate,not good at all,had that happen on an escort turbo many moons ago,bored a chunk out,not chewed on like ures tho!

got it all sorted today and even had time to paint a few bits up under the bonnet gave my rims a good polish too there gonna have to be redone again because they have started to oxidize

few pics of the engine bay its brush painted but its tarted it up a bit

been getting wet feet latley so had a look under the battery and in the usual place i had some holes so when to heckington to fetch a gas bottle for my mig plant and cracked on. heres a few pics



a little choppy choppy for easy access



tea break



test fit



same pic but another tea break



then out came my favorite toy



not a clean weld but it will do





forgot to take a pic of it flatted back

good old seam sealer



so thats it not a great job but was in a rush to get done

n now ive looked at it on here it looks a mess but the last pic is it not done cos i went over it with a bit of plastic to smooth it all off also got the welder working properly so when i do some more the welds should look a lot better

atleast u did summin init......i couldnt of even done that to me step my weldings nasty

looks like you've not got the wire feed up fast enough?

the welds look a little sunken as if there isn't enough metal there?

good job though! it's a battery tray so it's not really ever going to be seen!!!

yup it was slipping on the rollers the wire spools been in there for bout a year and got dust on it blowed it off now with the compresser works fine now even made my self a waste oil burner todayout of an old callor gas bottle

forgot bout this a few week ago i was cleanig the garage out and found some old christmass tree baubles and i thaught they would look good as dust caps so out came the dremel and some glue and i came up with these



disco ball dust caps

love it!

woteva floats ya boat lol

lol they look retro as fuk and theres no chance of the robbing little twats nicking them cos they wont fit inbetween there spokes on there bikes

lol pure genius

well this weeks problem is the oil pressure sensor/ loom is playing up was driving along friday n it started buzzing at me and the light was flashing on and off so i stop n check the oil its ok still full so drives it home n pops the bonnet and theres 2 sensors on the back of the head (witch i presume are oil presuse sensors?) so i goes to the parts place round the corner and gets my self an oil pressure sensor. ive fitted it and its still buzzing at me ive had the dash out and theres nothing ovious thinking it could be a wiring fault . but been using it today for work and the light is always flashing but the buzzing comes and goes as i drive over bumps of if i twat the dash it stops to. any 1 got any ideas of have i changed the wrong bit like a daft git?

dodgey connection if u can whack the dash and stop the buzzin!sounds like a broken wire shorting or summit daft!

bailey mate whack the top of the dash it stops...used to do it alot i wahcked it hard one day didnt do it again

it's probably in the dash plug then not the circuit board. best bet is check all the pins in the plug. you've prob got a broken wire at the plug.

ill have a broken dash to soon cos the getting to the back of the clocks is a right ball ache lol at least if i do fuok the dash up ill just strip it all out and put a cage in it or summats lol

also some good news got some monney coming my way so been thinking paint been thinking black n cream toying between under the door lines black n above cream or black with go faster stripes up and over with a 10mm gap between them or just re doing it the same colour also thinking of a chequred roof not sure how any of this will look need some photo shops doing if any 1 fancys a go ?

any ideas welcome!

clocks are p**s to get out bailey theres 2 screws top of the clocks and they slide forward unclip all ya crap lovely....i did find takin the steerin wheel off was better for this astheree is a lack of room...as for the buzzin fook knows wot it is like i say whacked the dash hard one day and never did it again.....it isnt owt serious its definatly a connection under the clocks there somewhere..........fuckin annoyin init lol

it is your right been driving me scranny all week the buzzings pissed off but the lights flashing all the time now gonna have another go 2moro night got my mate coming whos an auto electrics shagger

well this week the exsaust has fallen off its pulled a hole out round the mounting bracket for the bike can not to bothered cos im gonna do away with it and have 2 side exits in front of the back wheels when i get some steel sorted but ive fixed it up for today didnt get a pic of the finished item will get one 2moro but heres the hole i gained stupid shi*e country roads
