Today I acquired...........

[4String.]

.....my van back from repair today after (failing...) it’s MOT last Friday.

Broken front spring, badly worn steering arms, and quite a few other things to the tune of £460. Ouch .
My OH, bless her, walked down to the garage and collected the van this morning, just in time for me to get away to St Abbs tomorrow for a weekend of scuba diving .

Wreck diving ?

Wreck diving ?

No idea until we leave the harbour, and not unduly bothered, just happy to be getting in the water.

Had to cancel a long awaited weekend around Kyle of Lochalsh and Loch Carron last month due to a dodgy tooth, so really looking forward to this weekend. Also having a serious trip up to Kinlochbervie for a week’s diving in July.

A nice couple of finds and a "find".

Two will be used, the other will be repaired and used, once. For a laugh.



Decent Garden Lamp oil.

Nice



Self gripping wrench, but you can see why I got them.



Yep,Mole grips.

Plus this "accident waiting to happen"

Overlocker works fine. Ok so I need to work on the thread spacing and adjust the tension, but I’m quite happy

Wreck driving ?

No, that was before the MoT.

Plastic or alloy? Either way it should do the job without the numbers etc wearing off, for all the use it'll probably be subjected to.

Alloy
I think that as I will see that the lines are deleting ,I will grab a dremel and I will ingrave them

A couple of vices from the black box, a drill sharpening jig thingy from the bay of evil, a welding magnet from Lidl and a Lidl welder (that I'm going to give to my nephew).
Quite a haul!
