British Car Swap Meet @ the Old Ship Pub/Restaurant in Santa Ana -- Sunday, November 18, 2018
 |
| Back parking lot of the restaurant. Pretty small swap meet. The British car hobby is declining. The average age of the people selling/attending must be around 65. |
 |
| The light blue car looked very original and very "patinated." (some would say worn out...) |
Old Tool Swap Meet - Anderson Plywood Culver City -- Saturday, November 17, 2018
 |
| This regular vendor has a very nice rack for displaying speed wrenches. I should build one like this for the ones that I have... |
 |
| Bought this Gerstener Wood Tool Box. It needs a little bit of TLC but is actually not too bad overall. Finally found one at a price point that I could accept (usually too expensive). |

Replaced both GFCI in the Master Bath
 |
There's two of these near the sinks in the master bath, one on each end. This one stopped working (GFCI internal failure?). Since the walls are painted eggshell, it was a good opportunity to upgrade to white outlets/surrounds. |
 |
| Turned out that the two outlets are on different circuit breakers! I assumed that making sure that one was out would mean the other would also be out. But, I was wrong. Also, the new GFCI I bought, I assumed, would be wired the same way as the old ones that I'm replacing. Wrong again! They were wired opposite to the old ones... |
 |
| Installed screw-less surrounds for a nice clean look. Turned out pretty nice. When the GFCI trips, an amber LED comes on. If there's a wiring fault, a red LED will come on. |
Front Brake Caliper Installed on Teledyne - Rear just temporarily placed
 |
| Mounted and tightened the nut for the front brake. Centered the brake around the rim as the nut was tightened. |
 |
| Just partially installed the rear brake just to see what it looks like. I'll take it off so that I can match up the missing adjuster. |
Steering Wheel from the British Car Swap Meet in Murietta
I bought a steering wheel from a Jaguar Mark VII. Forgot to take a picture! Will maybe add it later...
But, it looks pretty much like below.
 |
| Picture from Internet of Jaguar Mark VII. I have the grille from this model car. |
