Double car garage is a must for a car nut! Especially if it has a back roller door to allow backyard access. Then people don't have to see what you upto all the time. Like they do at my place. If I don't have a factory by the next house I buy, I'll be looking for such a setup. Good luck with the hunt! Cheers ToranaGuy

got motivated today and thought i'd clean the SVO. hasn't been done for 6 months. it sat outside at my old house. But has a garage now. So i was rinsing it off first up and the water wasn't draining out of the cowl. so i pulled the cover off and unbolted the wiper motor and got my hand in the drainage duct and was pulling out clumps of leaves etc out of it. but couldn't get any further. so i had to pull the guards off to get to the other side. i never realised how easy the front of a EA is to get off.
bar and headlights out  guard off  inner guard and insulation off  the channel all clean and free of leaves etc

You guys live not near the ocean.... The tabs for the air bottle sit in little slits that all rust through in Wellington, NZ. Sucks.
How to turn a good car into scrap in one easy lesson --- Leave car under tree for a few weeks, leave car within 10km of ocean in Wellington southerlies (yes... those Southerlies. The ones that start at the South Pole, pick up every bit of salty air between there and here and then dump it selectively on twenty year old Fords windshields.......) |

I'm just far enough away from the coast to not have salt air problems. Have a look at a few of car's up around Horsham, near the salt lakes! Rust underneath like nobodies business. Cheers ToranaGuy

I think they spent a bit of time closer to the salt lakes.... Cheers ToranaGuy

Getting closer to a roady. replaced high beam globes. picking up the rebuilt rear calipers tomorrow. removed the Watts link to replace the bushes tomorrow. Had spare upper and lower trailing arms that come off the EB at some point. so i had the lower polyurethane bushes at work. replaced them tonight. i'll get the upper bushes and replace them tomorrow. and i'll swap the arms over tomorrow
i also cleaned these up and bolted them in. i reckon they look sexy
