For some reason working nights has suddenly made me want to do loads to my car!

Did an oil change at 9am the other day straight after my 8 hour night shift:

Emptied the catch tank:

Smelt gooooooooood.

The started stripping the carpets to replace them, halfway through I was like, WTF AM I DOING THIS FOR?! haha

Found £2.70! Bonus. Also found a marble, was well chuffed.

took the opportunity to swap a smaller amp into the glovebox, just need to make a boot side box outta fiberglass now:

Chilled out for a bit in the orchard, check out the fresh windfall!!

Pretty much there now, was pleased with my efforts:

It's a shame the seats are falling to bits, I can't afford a retrim or pro repair so I am going to repair the rips with patches as I go along.

I desperately need new upper seat foam for both seats if anyone has some? Please help!!!

P.S. My dash lights have all gone, I think the multiplug has worn away on the clock side at terminal 1. Should I solder a wire to bypass the plug or make up a loom with different colour leds or something??! Or is there an easy fix?

i used to do this when i worked shifts but now i got my 1st house alls i seem to be doing is working on that :(

giv it a couple of more months then ill be back on the car B)

woop your always well hyper when you finish a night shift and when you get back from work sleeping is that last thing you wanna do.

get some patches on the seat itll be reet, will have a gander for some spare foam for you. have you checked your fuse for the dash clocks or given it the usual smack to see if thats reet?

if your planning on bypassing the plugs, have you tried bridging it with your a random bit of wire without soldering to see if that helps? a multimeter would prove useful but i reckon you should change all the leds and do the heater ones to. if only you could get beige leds :(

Lol beige leds

Yea all the fuses are fine, I used to smack the clocks and they'd come back, pretty sure its the plug connection. Think I will get a bunch of leds, in red.

And yea after night shift I always wanna do looooads of stuff hehe

i used to work in a factory in the freezer rooms, and i got an hour and a half for break and so at times id go out an clean my car on my break at like 2am! :) sweet ride dude!
