I’m sure everything will come off perfectly from where it’s been for 30 years and I won’t need any penetrating fluid or blow torches.

Everything will glide apart naturally with basic hand tools.

This is encouraging to see. As a man about to replacing his wheel bearings and maybe do rod ends as well while I’m in there.

Plus harder discs, pads and braided lines.

It’s all go.

Accidentally found a cool new Sunday night pub meet.

Or several people around here are just cool.

yet another stephen king haunted car wants to kill me but it can't because i'm on a boat, enjoying the great ocean air. it just idles at the docks and looks at me sadly, like a child with no money at a toy store

Now I know how many spanners I have.

It’s 112.

Now we have the data.

I counted.

75 metric

37 imperial

(Not all pictured.)

That’s how many spanners I have. Not counting adjustables or sockets. Just spanners.

I’m tempted to now count how many spanners I own.

Why am I like this?

Saturday afternoon going through all my loose spanners and organising them.

Many toolboxes have been emptied and turns out I have a lot of random spanners.

Missing a lot of 10mm strangely.

In The Shadow of the Moon is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Love it.

Green with tan should work perfectly. I’ve had a few green cars with tan interiors.

Just sticking with classic black? Or was there a swatch book of colours to choose from?

They are incredible up close.

This is one of the actual cars in the Volvo museum in Gothenburg. It was amazing just to be near it.

That one in my previous tweet is just an homage. The real thing is something else.

I really must visit Japan one of these days.

Discs and pads don’t scare me. It’s the old bearing not coming off. Never done braided lines either.

But like the gif I have hammers. And a bearing puller if required.

And long may it continue.

This sort of behaviour is to be encouraged and rewarded.

I might watch the YouTube videos a few more times as well.

I’ve got some for the 940 that I’ve had on the shelf for ages.

I’ll do them next. πŸ‘πŸ»

Well my drilled discs, harder pads, braided lines and new hub bearings all for the 850 arrived.

Getting dangerously close to having to do this now.

I’ll be at Rustival. Most likely in the 940.

No RADwood for me this time.

However work may complicate things again. But I have Rustival ticket.

I have this low rider print hanging on my wall from www.instagram.com/pmcgphotos?i... which is one of my favourite pictures and it’s an American car in Japan.

I love the subcultures that exist over there.

Only limits are financial and your imagination.

Go for it.
