A healing has been performed. Many new parts were offered up, and a lot of hours of our labour were paid to wizards who performed certain magics.

A bit over 10 years with my Lada 2104. Have taught myself so many things keeping it alive, and had so much fun doing things you shouldn't do with a Lada.

I put a speaker to line level converter and small amplifier board inside the case, and mounted a 4 inch car speaker to the front.
Added power and feed cables, and closed it up.
I should have no trouble getting enough volume now.

I've been tinkering away on a small project this weekend.
The dinky little external speaker for my UHF CB radio is barely loud enough at a steady cruise.
I had a spare 4 inch speaker lying around, and found a project box hidden away in a cupboard.

Finally got some photos of the rust which has taken our Accord off the road for now. Will get a price for fixing it, then decide what we do next.

Spent the afternoon helping a friend pick up a very tidy Alfa 33 QV he bought this weekend.
It's not running, but otherwise amazing condition.

I really like my Kia Sportage, and all the other drivers appreciate me driving 20kmh under the limit so everyone gets where they want very safely.

Just got home from road testing a KTM RC 200 my nephew has rebuilt after buying it written off for cosmetic damage.
Just 2 jobs to take care of before it's ready for inspection and hopefully legal.

Sticker pack arrived for next weekends Gumboot Rally, so I'll have to wash the car, I guess.
Also, the award plaques for various prizes are shown. @dilaedathon.bsky.social , you could absolutely sew up that last one.

Goodbye budget Pirellis (Powergy), hello other budget Pirellis (Cinturato Rosso).
3 years was a pretty good run for what those tyres were asked to do.

I already have it. It gets shocked looks and comments when I roll up to events. It's hilariously bad, sometimes it breaks, but the grin on my face is hard to remove.

Started a couple of small projects today for my eventual motor swap in the Lada.
1) Stepper motor and Arduino replacement for the speedometer mechanism.
2) Raspberry Pi 5 to run Tunerstudio as a dashboard for everything motor related.
