Projects for 2019

jims-terrano · 06-01-2019, 10:54

So what projects have people got planned or are on going for 2019?

Doesn’t have to be vehicle related.

I’m thinking about getting the bloke that welded my sills to clean the underside of the 3 litre and spraying protection on there and in the chassis.

Have got various house diy type plans but at the moment most is on hold until I’m recovered.

I really need to finish building my workshop... I bought myself a refurbished Radial Arm Saw last September and it really needs somewhere to live!

2019? Perhaps I will finish off some projects from the last century!

This month:

Buy and fit a fork yoke and head races to a scooter then get an Mot.

Reassemble our Ford Galaxy interior, free the wiper spindles off and see if that will pass an Mot then sell it.

Get rid of my POS Fiesta runabout, must decide if I Mot it before February or sell it as is. Coin toss?

Service a neighbours Golf GTi and fit a cam belt.

Mot work on the suspension of a 1.4 Golf.

Hospital appointment about a hernia.

Try and tick a few more jobs off the 4 page list for a friends Jensen Interceptor.

Fit Golf mk4 cooling fans and controller to the Terrano.

Say no to fixing other peoples vehicles.

February:

Repair/replace the exhaust flexible on our Vectra CDTi, overhaul the brake calipers, weld up the swirl flaps, replace the cam belt and get an Mot before March.

Try and tick a few more jobs off the 4 page list for a friends Jensen Interceptor.

Say no to fixing other peoples vehicles.

The remains of 2019:

Say no to fixing other peoples vehicles.

Recover from hernia operation.

Find a new job.

Start restoring my Triumph Speed Triple.

Continue with the Opel manta V8 project.

Mot and sell another scooter that's in bits.

Clear out the loft, sheds and garages with a view to moving house.

Face up to reality that I should not have started this list!
