I'd rattle can it Mark, the finish doesn't have to be perfect where it is but it will help tie it all in and more importantly, give it extra protection.

Easy to get at but what a stupid place to put them !! Did they sub the horn job out to BL ?

All done and sounding nice and perky

Did you move the horns to a more sensible location Mark? Many horns are mounted in that ridiculous place, BL copied Volvo though as they used to put them in sensible places like behind the radiator grille where they're not as likely to get covered in road salt.

I keep threatening to not only move mine but upgrade to air horns, or as i like to call them, scare horns.

Good that you've got yours sorted anyway!

I just left them where they were to make things easier. If they last another 23 years I'll be happy

Default Suspension rebuild

My suspension parts are just about ready for paint. I;m going with Eastwood Epoxy primer followed by Eastwood Extreme Chassis black in either satin or gloss

A few pics below of the journey from grotty to how they now look

I got them sandblasted Luke. £30.00 for the lot which I thought was pretty good. I could have got them powder coated but I've heard it can chip easily.

Default Triggers jolly boys outing

Trigger had her first trip down to the seaside this weekend

I have to say she never missed a beat there and back. Dog fishing gear and three passengers carried down very serenely

My 16 year old son said she is the most comfortable car we have had.... which is a big compliment !!

Some pics of her outside my Father In Laws house down in sunny Hunters Quay

Also a couple of pics of my previous Volvo ( silver ) and my current V70 ( Savile Grey )

Need to watch what I'm saying but I'm starting to think that the old girl is my favourite too

My in-tank pump was silent Mark - i think it had failed a long time before i got the car though!

Good news yours no longer sounds like a Chinook though, you must think you've gone deaf!
