Default Gene's 2014 Repairs

it's that time of year where you've saved your pennies for christmas prezzies, where the tax and mot are due on your old audi and after a glance from professionals eyes, you're told that you're in for more repairs to get through 2014!!

the old bus passed it's mot but was advised to carry out work on the rear brakes and front suspension to ensure the fabulous drive that the old dog has given me when i've not be cursing and swearing at it for doing it's randomly weird idling tricks!

anyway, a few shots taken this week while getting the once over . .













working on these old beasts isn't so hard when you've got four professionals, four ramps, 4 snap on tool chests and over a hundred years of experience around you!! i was ridiculed at regular intervals for "taking so long to do those bloomin' brakes!!"
