Removing the sump pan in the MR2. Removing the exhaust had to happen first!! It's gonna be one messy job, already been three grease filled hours.

I am one with the grease.

And she's built!

My Tishana, Voice of Thunder deck is the first deck I built when I started playing, and she's very much my pet deck.

I love her, and I'm glad I could give her a facelift!!

The ADHD really has been in GO GO GO mode today, I've been sorting the endless collection of random cards in random bundle boxes. These are all commons and uncommons. It's a very tiny part of the collection, but it's a good start!!

The autism also enjoys the sorty sorty sort.

Gf got me a Ford GT lego kit when she was coming back from Brisbane (airport Lego stores go hard)

It's really nice when I can look back at my little drawings and think "oh that's cute! Hell yeah I drew that!!"

I've been using a Cute Chibi learn to draw book by Pheobe Im and it's been really nice to see my growth every time. All of these were just the one session.

The got sassy after a recent update.

Also fixed its own backlight issues?

Super happy with how it's looking!! Gonna find the hand drill soon to add all the little magnetised bits (which I didn't think about until now, or I would have done it before painting) 😅

Getting back to a painted piece after a week and still thinking it looks good is a really nice feeling!

This is Asimov. He is a Baby Boyo.

He's super tolerant 😅 he has one paw of entirely pink beans. The others have black splodges on them.

All the accessories for my tank!

I'm loving painting this, tiny galaxies on EVERYTHING.

I saw wet blending in Adelaide once and now I'm obsessed with galaxies. I really love them 😅 it makes me so happy to paint them. They're so much fun!! I can't wait to get to the actual tank body!

Found my tank earlier today, it was grey this morning! I'm really pleased with how it's going.

Moving house when both of you are magic players with bad organisational skills is a RIDE 🤣 she's been playing 20 years, I've only started about two years ago.

We will probably fill at least four of these boxes, plus albums. 😅

A few sunset pics from the other day. It's such a beautiful drive home (I was the passenger)

Some recent nature photos I've taken from near my home in the West of Victoria, Australia.

These are all taken with my phone, and I'm pretty happy with them. My grandma recently told me that she loves my photos, and that I should do photography, so I've made a promise to myself.
Take more photos.

She fits!! Just a tiny bit more to do to make it perfect, but we did it! And no one lost their fingers.

10/10 safety angle grinding the alternator so it fits into the brackets. Gfs dad is holding it in the bracket.

Somehow all went well with no lost fingers.

ID: a brand new alternator sits in a vice on a very messy work bench. An angle grinder is being used against the side of the alternator.

Starting with pressing in those goddamn bushings. Which we hope will be the fix we need.
😅 We've hoped for a lot of easy fixes for this car.

More mysteries unravel with this alternator replacement. The one we bought doesn't fit, due to some bushings on the bracket.
This is the old one. It's been shaven down. Which means the bracket itself is the actual problem. Not the alternator size!
Not sure who did it or why or when. But we know now

A lot has been happening on the little car lately, but we're finally at the big one. The hiace alternator didn't fit. We bought a new one. It's installation day.
December 17, 2024 at 10:32 PM
We've gotta get a new boot for it, and I've joined an MR2 owners group to ask for advice and where to get parts.
Very close to getting it on the road!!

We also cleaned and replaced the globes in the headlights, which made such a huge difference to the light output!!

Windscreen was meant to be tomorrow but will be next week instead as they couldn't get the glass in time.

Then we'll be onto the exhaust and figuring out the abs sensor.

MR2 update: so it turns out the alternator is actually probably fine, but it was the fuse that had corroded to hell.
After figuring out that the fuses were *bolted* in, we were finally able to remove the old ones and replace them with fresh new ones.
