a box arrived at work for me
inside that box was a smaller box
and inside that smaller box was a smaller oil breather filter. packaging madness.
also got rear discs, pads and shoes for the vectra as it needs mot'd end of the month, and tbh, back discs and pads on it are fucked.
it needed 2 front tyres aswell but the joys of working in tyres meant i got hold of 2 runners with loads of tread on so now rocking some fulda's up front for free. nice.
will be double green filtered now. how pleasant.

I'm confused at why you have shoes? They for the Corsa? As you are mentioning pads and shoes in the same sentence as if you can have both fitted at the same time?

adam put a new engine into his tractor. more power.
then turbo'd it
we found a wheelchair
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrLxJkr2rmQ
so attached it to the tractor. then found a vw camper van so gave it a full restoration
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyBgmLFBitU
then the not so exciting stuff
thats where the breather shall come out of
had to clean up there and remove the old breathers as thats to be welded up.
johnathan made a weld on bung for the breather filter for the catch tank
then welded it, and the -10 screw on fitting to the tank
thats how thats gonna roll once finished. grand job.
rear breathers welded up. has been ground and smoothed since.
and take off welded on to the rocker cover. pleasant. got rocker cover home with me to sand it down and paint it satin black i think.

Was the breather moved for just more space? Looks a quality job anyway.

well its just to tidy it up as well. No point in it coming out where it used to if the catch tank is on the gear box side. Slowly going to try to make all the pipes and wires etc a touch neater and easier to work around.
