    Mincing this weekend

    Are people up to much?

    Will be (hopefully) fitting new brakes this weekend and then going for a test drive.

    May head over to Pontypool...........

    Surely you are only pulling it one way though? ie. you are pulling it along its length.

    I started tidying up our front garden, 4 hours later I'd made a bit of an impact, side of house next and then garage

    Primering my alloy wheel.

    Rubbed the filler down and it's there or there abouts so that'll do. Then got some wet and dry on the bad scratches I'd made and it's come up pretty good. Will be nice not having to go and put air in the tyre every few days!!

    your welcome to the gsi rim i have in the garage chap if its any good to you.

    ive bought another 16inch sxi rim today as i too am sick of having to put in air in my leaky wheel every few days. going to get a tyre put on the new one, strip the tyre off the old one and clean it up a bit and see if that fixes it.

    day off tomorrow!
