Too cold for paint (-9 / -10 at night and barely above freezing during the day time despite the best efforts from the sun) so Iīm taking stuff to bits and getting ready for other parts that need paint instead.

Hidden behind the heater box and the steering column thereīs a bit of trouble from a leaking brake fluid reservoir - classic 6mm wide pipe expected to seal in an 8mm bit of tubing (doh!)



And on the other side of the engine bay / bulkhead thereīs a bit of rust because there isnīt a heat shield above the exhaust



In order to get the exhaust pipe out of the way (with out killing it) Iīm removing the back axle (which also could do with a lick of paint) so the propshaft had to come out too



It has been a while since Iīve seen a fix like this!



Funny as ###$

So centre propshaft bearing is going to be fixed properly which will hopefully negate the need for jubilee clips...
