I'm going to try and find a spark. I need to check the coil and distributor. If I can achieve that it might run! |

Well as it was my birthday yesterday I bought a stereo for the celebrity (so it can be hidden in glovebox) and went to cinema with the fiancé to go see rush _________________ Stumbled upon a mk1 celebrity at a bargain price and it's not a rust bucket |

Took my daughter to Portsmouth Uni today, that's 2 daughters at Uni now. Expensive!!
Taking my 7 year old son to rugby in the morning I'll then be moving my '76 Celica into the garage space that my MK1 took up until a few days ago _________________

My job was to re-grout our bottom floor slate tiles.
10 minutes in grinding out the old grout, disk exploded!
Went and got a £20 diamond grout/masonry disk, 10 minutes later, angle grinder melted (thanks to Gilfy I think).
One fecking job I had to do and after two days, it still needs done.
I did fix the dishwasher though and also the leaking boiler so browny points there. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."
