Cheers Russ, hoping to get back on it at the start of the new year when i get some money coming in.

You can always rely on Brain.

Great little project you've got there, keep up the good work.

i couldn't sell a finished project without enjoying it for a while first . Yeah i know, it would be a shame. Will have to get it ready for next summer. With everything going on, the cab has been at the body shop for the best part of 6 months and was hoping that the car would take a little longer to...

Sorry for the lack of the posts over the past 12 months, its been a massive roller coaster ride and i've been through some rough times but there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel. Since leaving Mercedes Commercial, i decided to give a bit of self employment a try with a bit of wheeling ...

So jealous that you bought the covers for that cheap!!! I've only got the uprights and they cost me a fortune from the stealers!! Great thread by the way.

Thanks guys, i used something called desolve which i got from my bodyshop. A good scraper is the key .

Top work, another one saved. Cheers Over the past few months things have been really all over the place and this project has taken a lot longer to finish than expected. He is how i left her before: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/A5593ABB-5163-4EC5-B14C-EDF1E7245705_zpsxi...

Sorted, thanks for the help. It ended up being the speedo being burnt out. Put a third set in and it worked. Can they be repaired?

coming along very nice mate Cheers, cant wait to get it finished!! Well, after almost a year sitting in the garden and various places i have finally got the car to the bodyshop. I bought 2 new wings for it a couple of months ago as i thought it would be a waste doing all that work and having some o...

Thanks Brian, done both of test and the meter is reading a pulse at both ends. Could it be the clocks themselves or is there something else I can try?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I am losing my patience on this one. Everything works apart from the speedo. I have put a brand new sensor in the diff, changed 30cm of wiring, checked the wiring at the back of the clocks. Is there anything else that people could recommend?

Any updates on this? I've got the same issue but not changed the wiring yet.

Nice work boys,is that another quarter panel all boxed up?

About time boys, definitely worth saving!!

Cheers

Lol, yeah a fair bit!!!

Nice work... Cheers Got the car back last week and was waiting to get a full day free so i could spend time getting it back together. I got it in to the unit so i could start working on it: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/C3F01F96-E175-44AB-8B5A-6A2CF1E30590_zpsn1sqn3p5.j...

As i am on role, i might as well update this one too as its close to getting finished. As i drove the car into the unit, i knocked the front end against Alex's Landrover which set the day up nicely!! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/65F66351-AE66-488B-B3A0-29BC18B35091-565-...

Cheers bud

nice work..respect the effort and its nice to see one being saved. i would put new under bonnet foam on your list to santa.. :D Cheers, would be nice to see it go to a fellow Zoner. I would get one if i was keeping it, but the new owner can do that. Nice.. I love a Bronzit two door.. Have you put i...

Well, i think a update is well overdue, especially with me trying to sell the car now. Guess i got a lot to fill you in on so here goes. I managed to find a bonnet in the same colour that was off a C reg car, it said in the advert that it was clean and i spoke to the guy and he said that it would go...

Bargain!!

Hey guys, sorry for the slow progress on this. Since the car has been finished by BeardyMat over 18 months ago it was stored in my mates garage. Since then i have taken on one too many projects and the roof collapsed in the garage which meant the car wasnt weather tight. It gathered some water, leav...

I love this colour, one that you rarely see.

Costco jack FTW. I love that havana brown trim with brown carpet I think I have lost the plot :( You certainly are addicted! Haha, love that jack had for ages and its served me well. Its o very likable interior, i think its retro!! Slightly addicted but more wanting to see it go to a good home.

Seen this on Copart last week and thought it would be a nice buy: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/BBAEDB24-536E-4AB2-8394-9A0A50FFAF1D-137-0000000327EDBE4A.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/114AB37B-4F86-4769-94EC-52EA8EF9F0DB-137-000000032FFA0...

Nice work. where are you based? Cheers, based in Manchester. ...purely financial reasons and time limits - please don't make me feel any more guilty!! Sunday should be fine btw. James. Fair enough, did you get my message? Good work. Go on with the cutting and welding.. Cheers Update time, yesterday...

I am doing work!! Cheeky, supervising and making brews are a very important job!!!

Hats off to you guys - good work being done there. Makes me feel bad for fragging my 320i with no rust issues now :cry: On that note, if you do come for the wings you are more than welcome to hack any further repair patches that you may need off my car!! I dont know why you are James, still can alw...

How much does your mate charge for this kind of work? He is pretty skilled to be fair 8) He normally charges people £75 a day which is not bad considering i have him here from 9 till 6. Still have to find him tho!! Interesting stuff, what is classed as achievable in a day? EG how many days have you...

Weekend past and me and Alex set up the temporary workshop again. We got to work on the patch of rot under the passenger rear window: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl/F29GKK/Turds/802F6E22-7B4D-45F1-A3D8-16DC24B1A6D5-385-00000032ACB6CBFF.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/l18ydl...
