Don't bother, they're boring, nothing ever goes wrong !

i was thinking of getting a new Skoda Ha Ha

I have bought two thermostats which I will replace this week along with a set of hoses. Ordered them from British Parts Tuesday about 11.45am and they arrived next day (normal post)Weds lunchtime.
Not the first time they have done this for me.
Bazarus looks good ,I think Black XJS's do look something else.

In last 12 months:

- Major partial respray (both sides, scuttle and roof)
- Replacement driver's door

This year:

- New roof lining
- Replacement battery box
- Replacement numberplate/reverse light bar
- Replaced door card
- New radio (Sony DSX-S100)
- Another rear wing repair
- New bonnet struts
- (soon to be) replacement radiator

Now all I have to is hope for a successful MOT tomorrow and I need to work out what I have to do with the new interior.

Then I have to persuade Mrs Don to choose the right new house and I may have somewhere to work over the winter BAZarus' current garage has no light or power.

As this is a new forum to most of us maybe "The Don" could re tell the interesting story of Bazarus.

Sadly BAZarus' half timbering went when the new headlining was fitted earlier this year although I've kept the wood "just in case"

The half-timbering concept lives on in snakey_rob's "H-reg Hetty" although snakey_rob's taken it a step further by matching the half-timbering to the rest of the woodwork (more or less).

Yes Bazarus has he still got his mock Tudor beams holding the headlining up.

prayed for the restoration to be completed despite that, I keep finding upgrades to make it better, XJAZarus will arise, but not as fast as The Dons, his car keeps getting gbh for other road users !!

So far this year I have completed the following.
New Windscreen, Oil Change, Oil and air filter change,New oil presure Switch,New Aux fan Switch,Plugs,Leads,Distributor,Rotor arm,Windscreen wipers,ABS ECU,New Radio,replaced coolant after flushing Rad.
Seems like a reasonable amount of work to keep everything running well.
