Lock change & exhaust fix

Finally got round to cleaning up the garage. Now, for the first time in ages, the garage floor can actually be seen! 



Still crowded in there, but at least its possible to work. Which brings me over to Yosephine.

For some stupid reason I've misplaced the key for the steering lock. So only one thing to do: Replace lock.


Remove lid and drill out old lock.


Replacement lock with keys.


Open & insert, add lid. Voila!

So. Over to the stubborn broken bolt in the engine casing.

The lawn is perfect for horizontal operations...


After breaking 3 drillbits I was able to drill a hole into the broken bolt. With great enthusiasm, the bolt extractor was inserted & torqued up. Result: Extractor broke, leaving me back at square one.

No other options now: The engine is coming out for a rebuild.
