While the students are away...

It's half term, the college is deadly quiet, so I thought I would take the opportunity to get the ZS up in the air & have a quick butchers.

Being an engineering & motor vehicle lecturer I can use the equipment here. Will be knocking up a battery cover using this plasma cutter, plus the laser cutter to engrave it:

Better than the drive way, lucky you.

Car looks like its has some good tlc, and some good upgrades.

:happy2::happy2::happy2::happy2:

[MickUK]

Yup, nice & tidy under there. Tyre treads are looking a tad low so will be looking at getting them replaced. Had an oil & filter change along with the gearbox oil a week before I got it so pleased with that.

Looking to upgrade the speakers at the moment as it sounds a bit tinny in there.

[RalphG]

Lucky you! I had to service the van in the road yesterday.

BTW is that you pointing at the lathe? :rofl:

Hahahaha! We had an open evening last week so we made him to entice people into the workshops from the main corridor!

:trampoline:

[stamford]

I thought about becoming a lecturer in engineering, never followed it up though. Might do one day, do you enjoy it?

[petet16]

It looks ok under there, the upgrade to the gear linkage is well worth having, the poly bush works better if the edges are softened a bit, like the one on the right in the pic

Easily the best job I've had. I've been on the spanners, Service Advisor, Service Manager & now this. If you told me I would be doing this 20 years ago I would of said righty'o! It's hard work, paperwork is a nightmare but the staff are amazing, the students can be testing but funny but it's all worth it.

Plus I get 40 days holiday :happy2:

[yellowzr]
