Raised at the tail.
I have some sparkling new front rotors, as the other ones I cleaned up just are not right, too polished-out, something. These ones look grippy.
The drama involved in getting these had me driving to Petone at 4 on Thursday to pick up a pair which were revealed as the wrong ones when I opened them at home.
Spot the difference. They will not fit. It got sorted out by me strapping them into my backpack and riding over to change them at 8am the next day.
After working out a good way to support the van, I took the official "Before" shot of the rear underbody.
On the rear right hand side wheel well, the frame and body state is typical of the rest of the vehicle.
A power wash sorts out most of that dirt.
Wire-buff it, and wash it with pegasol.
Paint it with Zinc, as an achievable and moralising piece of work.
Take off the spare wheel and cage, and see just how straightforward this is looking. If that is a jinx, I bet it is because the rearmost crossmember is looking marginal. Also, note how much of it is accessible with everything assembled, and consider just doing the bits that are currently obscured, then putting the new stuff on, then finishing the painting with it assembled. If a WoF was urgent, I would.
Also visible is the support arrangement. Not recommended I would say.
Can't bear to make noise, can't bear to stop working on the van, I find some jobs which make a difference to the style of the driving experience and will have to be done. They also give a massive boost to perception of completion.
Cleaning the grime and mildew off the backs of the sun visors, cleaning the dash, cleaning the trim, sorting out a decent non-filthy passenger seat.
I scrub the fabric seat and the vinyl seat in the bath with the shower hose, using greenie detergents and hot water. The vinyl seat is grimy, the fabric seat just has mud.
Fabric wins. I'll keep the vinyl seats for dirty driving.
I'm a prostitute robot from the future!
