Winter planning

With the dark nights drawing in, I have decided to try and do a lot of the maintenance in the garage. As I have not had much chance recently to work on the cars, I decided to re-evaluate my priorities and make a list of work to be completed and what parts are need.

Sometimes you can get distracted and need to decide what you want to focus on first. Not only to keep cost down, but by grouping batches of jobs together to minimise maintenance time, and having to do a certain job twice, just to fit a part in the same area later on!!
