What did you do to your Z this week?

I’ve been sorting for winter, starting with ( unplanned🤬)the front oil seal, popped on a 100 mile round trip, sprayed oil everywhere, so after fitting a new it was a big cleanup operation. Anyhow all cleaned now, let me know what you think, I don’t think you can tell it was covered in oil😬, then give it all a polish and put it to bed with its Snuggie cover on, clean up my motorbikes they’re away for winter too, I’m too old now for winter riding, it hurts! So ive put some pictures up, it’s nice to have a nosey at other peoples garages. And some pictures of my models, ok it might be sad but it’s something for winter. Oh I’ve bought some lanoguard too, anyone got any experience with it, it looks promising

Just how do these garages look so organised? It's the sign of an evil mind trying make me feel absolutely worthless for the state of mine. You must be able to find everything instantly - where's the fun in that then?

Nervous now I can see a gun bag........... is that to shoot anyone who's untidy? :oops:

It’s just for show, this is my other garage, it’s a mess but that’s where I do all my dirty work, the others just for cleaning really😬 the guns for unwelcome Datsun haters😉👍

I sure lanogaurd on my wife’s mini - it’s excellent stuff, much better than dinotrol etc, easy to apply, can use on everything including wiring but not brakes!

I thought your garage was just another room in your house with a bigger door Keiron! I've never seen a garage so tidy ever!

Is the Z in there fixed and finished now?

Andy is taking it back in the next few days to put it on his local rolling road to dial in the carbs and a few other bits. Plan is to be back to me for Xmas so it can get its new car cover on Xmas day!

Ive just readied my Z for its first winter in my garage. Filled it full of fuel with added stabiliser and put it on a trickle charge.
The blue sheet on the floor and up one side of the car is to stop water getting under the car as unfortunately in bad weather a bit of water comes up through the floor in the right hand corner. IMG_7442.jpgIMG_7444.jpgIMG_7445.jpg
