Pretty good for a 20year old car. Lots of rusty bolts though but we got throught them all.

Shame your not allowed the shells, its signed for tin cans.

[grantfk10]

Well done team!
You guys did a great job there - looking forward to the tales when we next meet up.

[Tedswagon]

Few grazed knuckles getting the rear suspension and beam off - that was a bit of a pig. Good day out tho! Who took the box of muffens? I had my eye on them Cheers

I think the muffin's are now fully integrated with the wiring loom in the back of my motor.

I've still to check the toolbox but I know I'm missing a few 1/2" drive Draper sockets and I've acquired a screwdriver or two.

Good quality snaps Peter, I'll get mine uploaded when I regain full consciousness.

[Royalratch]

You absolute jackals.

Good night last night then!!!

[Tedswagon]

I've all of mine - i think - found my yellow handled persuader. Thought I'd lost it, that would be no good!

I thought that was your ball joint splitter !!

We need to get up to Peter's to sort out the boxes of stuff, I'm waiting to hear back from him to see when suits.

[johnt0709]

Im impressed thoroughly stripped - what a shame for what looks like such a good shell and low mileage at that. Some deal you guys got though for that price.

[Sanchez]

Bit unsure about the mileage with some aspects of the car, some good some bad.

Colin im due the misses some 'time' over this week. Ill see if I can wangle Sunday 'off'!!!!

[Topblag]

Ok guys, now it's time for the thread to evolve into a tools amnesty

What I've acquired....

Blue/black rubber handle clarke flathead screwdriver
Hammer - medium size
1/4" drive small sockets on rail
"Chrome Vanadium" 13mm 1/2" drive socket - looks like Ronan's

What I'm missing.....
Halfords Pro 1/4" drive extension bar
21mm 1/2" drive Draper socket
14mm/17mm/21mm "Powerflex" spanners, open one side, ring the other
Clarke Pro Flat Drive 1/2" Socket set on rail - (one week old)

[Jozi]

Looks good for a days work Now can you rebuild a car as fast from a bare shell :p

[Topblag]

I can only say no, my Sport resto thread is testament to that !

Stripping a car is a skill, rebuilding one properly is an art.

[Sanchez]

Ok guys, now it's time for the thread to evolve into a tools amnesty

What I'm missing.....
Halfords Pro 1/4" drive extension bar

Might actually be guilty of that one. Ill check my other box for mine.

[Topblag]

thanks bud.

[EVIR]

Ha-ha, I haven't looked at mine since but I'm missing a persuader, if I 've got any extras I will let yous know.

[Sanchez]

Colins just raided my 'box' and found nothing, so im not guilty. It was my bar after all.

Sorry about the sharp exit, tonight the wife needed to be rescued someone knocked her bike over.

[magpie]

where's my hammer

priceless!

[Topblag]

Ha-ha, I haven't looked at mine since but I'm missing a persuader, if I 've got any extras I will let yous know.

I've got that for you pal, you coming to the meet at Drem on the 13th Feb ?

[Ali-bumble]

looks like a good day was had and and excellent haul at the end of it
Well done chaps

[EVIR]

I've got that for you pal, you coming to the meet at Drem on the 13th Feb ?

If I can get away with it I'll try to make the meet.
I can get it back anytime, I've got a collection of them

[Topblag]

has anyone come across any of my tools yet ?

[cecotto479]

I'd be checking eBay. Limit you search to within 50 miles of Inverkeithing and I'm sure you'll turn up a few.
