what did you do to your car today?

Big day a full blue LED conversion including cluster mode light switch shifter and window switch block fitted a new dial screen(red) and re covered the steering wheel with red and black leather. 9 hours total in extreme heat.

Big effort there, got any progress or before and after pics anywhere?

Yeah see that in your photo. I thought they might move. I have some old carpet underlay and will give it a try. I was p##d off the ramps were too high when I got them home and they've been sitting covered in leaves and cobwebs in the driveway ever since. cheers

I was in Repco today and saw ramp extensions....... they appear to be designed specifically for cars which are too low to clear the normal ramp. They were something like $95 so not cheap but probably worth it in the long run. I get really sick of mucking around with blocks of wood and bricks to suit different cars :[

Changed the water pump on the missus car, was leaking, this is it's 3rd pump now

What should have been a simple job turned into a cluster #### because one of the long bolts didn't want to come out because it was full of crap. Long bolts have corrosion on the shanks but of course you don't get new bolts with your new water pump :bang:

Job is done now, just giving the sealant a little time to cure before I put new coolant in it.

Bought oil and filters for the VC, VS, Troopie, and Getz. Got myself a new air compressor and some seat covers to save the seats from dog hair.

Used 2x cans of carby cleaner to clean out the gummed up throttle body and plenum chamber, much better throttle responce and the car feels like it has more power down low :driving:
