Day 3

Today was a late start, got all my clocks wrong so got into the shop around nine.
Spend the next hour finishing off the spark plugs right at back of the engine, which was a pain the ass not much room to work with at all. Bri and I fired her up and it kept dying after a few seconds or when we put it into gear, after he tinkering around with the idle speed got it purring like a kitten. What was happening was when we switched onto gear the idle would drop too low making the engine stop.
Next we bleed the breaks to find out where it's leaking and to get rid of the air in the breaks, had a small oil leak but it was only a loose hose so that was a quick fix.
I tackled the interior lighting thats not working for the rear two lights, after pulling off some of the wall interior to find the wires. Decide that i didn't want roof lights anyway and started design some diagrams to put LED strip lighting along the walls to make it more ambient lighting that just a central glow.
This afternoon i have compiled a list of things i have to get from spokane tomorrow, im going to have to get the whole wiring system in before i start the carpentry but ill still get all the 2x4 i need for the framing tomorrow.
Next week i have to also make an old school ice box for my cold items, which should be fun. Picture below!
Kara is coming up on saturday which is sweet, brian and kathy never disappoint with a great meal when guests are here, looking forward to shooting some clays too!
Have a great DAY!
