Not today, but yesterday seeing as the Fronty now has an 80mm body lift, I relocated the fuel tank 80mm higher 
Bought another tank carrier as mine was more iron oxide than iron, cut off the mounting brackets, jacked the tank carrier up as far as it would go and re-welded the brackets back on. Then wire brushed it clean and painted it black.
Did a few tidy up jobs after the body lift, new vac hose for the servo, power steering pipes and bottom rad hose lengthened as they were all a little on the short side
And today I replaced the timing belt on Dave Raynets 2.0 SWB

Went to give Tessie her service today(even if the weather was against me )
new air filter and fuel filter fitted,went to start engine to warm it up to make oil easier to drain and she wont start
the engine will turn over with a nasty metallic squeal comming from the top of the engine.
Looks like i will be working on Tessie again tomorrow.

Today I have replaced the fuel filter and sparkie plugs, now I no longer have a "flat/dull" spot between 2krpm and 2750rpm
also flushed the oil and replaced the filter...
replaced the missing sunroof trim, and replaced the melted lower light lenses.
oh one more thing...
replaced the cracked air box lid and flexie pipe (that may have helped with the dull/flat spot I had)
and a couple of other little bits and bobs that I kept on meaning to do, but never got around to.
now it's
o'clock
