What have you done to your vehicle today?

How did it pass MOT ????
 
It was passable then, only this year it has shown signs of not totally gripping on one side.
 
Emptied the catch can, it's been a while. Had to disassemble it to get the slimey stuff out. There is a pipe that goes from that to the intake, it had imploded on itself after the PCV valve. A bit of 3/8th fuel pipe left over from the Camaro, done the job perfectly. Started it up for a test. idles fine, will drive it tomorrow.
No photos sadly. The phone was on the worktop playing tunes.
 
Spent some time my old el camino yesterday at a show the owner had sold it on again so the 3rd owner has done a engine dress up kit and side pipes the tona cover was done by the chap that brought it from me. The new owner is building a 454 engine for it. Some ways I miss it.

Hi Folks! Long time no post again. Sorry 😬😐
Sent off the Firebird V5 today to register it as a historic vehicle! So no more tax to pay!!! 👍😊
Have been doing bits to it lately, aiming to finally get it back on the road very soon! Will post some pics soon.

Winter project 👍
 
Changed the wheel hub and bearing on OSF on mustang last weekend got the other side to do yet the bearing hub had play in it you could hear and feel it and the hub had been knocking rubbing against something. Ordered as well a abs senor just incase otherside I couldn't feel and play in it but mot chap could so replaying them both..
