As the title to this thread says: Engine Freshen Up to this........"

I got wheel alignment done today after I did my best in doing so before taking her in. In driving her beforehand I felt she drove better than she did before the refresh. I said to "old mate" I would be interested how far off I was. Before he any took any measurements or adjustments, he said it won't be far off. I asked him how he came to that conclusion. He said as soon as he pulled the pins out of the turn plates, he knew it was close as they came out easy. Apparently if adjustments are needed the pins are tight in the turn plates. In the end he had to only adjust the toe slightly. A delight to drive even in the hurricane winds that we were having today!

This thread won't be the end of the refresh. I have all these little jobs to do now - quarter vent rubbers, bailey channels, door strips, door trims back on, strip / clean of the underfloor and seal and on and on. Part of me is now regretting getting her to driving stage again because these little jobs more than like will get put off. Oh, I forgot an exhaust leak which I was sure was at the tailpipe join but maybe not. That is a priority even though its not significant. I've done tappets last weekend, but I have one or two still with a tick.

Anyway, enough of my rambling.

Have a ripper. Cheers Rod

 Any updates Mal ??

I need to buy a decent mulcher. Borrowed one once that would consume branches as thick as your forearm. Big heavy flywheel on it. I thought about converting the blue 202 out of my EK215.

Three ute loads of small Blue gum green tips , bark and sticks and about 30 branches thick as your wrist 2-3 meters long ..At least nice fire in the paddock at end of day ...

Hi Team,

I came across this while trawling through some of my reference material. It may come in handy for someone down the track so I thought I would hang it here.

Hi Rob,
Sorry to here that. I had a branch just miss my Calais when I was at my daughters at Oatley.
Very strong winds indeed.
Cheers

The series of wet weekends has run its course.  Naively I assumed I'd be able to do some car work this weekend.  Nope.  Didn't count on the wind.  Another tree blew down.  The carport-catastrophe tree of October 2012 flattened the carport.  The mini-tornado branches of November 2019 clobbered the house and squashed the ex-Malcolm Young Merc.  This one was like the east-coast-low tree of June 2015 in that it had the good sense to miss the house.  But it fell on the drive, so I can't get to the back of the house without some gymnastics.  And the deck railings (repaired in early 2020) are looking very second-hand.

I filled a green bin with foliage and sawn-off branches.  I reckon I made it weigh a quarter of a ton.  It took, shall we say, no small effort to wheel it up the drive to the kerbside.
