Warning and a BIG Thank you.

You won't get logged on the SORN computer until the beginning of the month following the one in which you need to tax it.
Things can get confusing if you try to un SORN it in the same month as it's SORNed.

[gooner1]

Stating the obvious maybe.. However, is that imola?

Certainly is jhonno.

Cheers Ratch. i think so.

[Jhonno]

Look forward to seeing proper pics of it..

[gooner1]

Cheers Des.
Re inner arches, mine came from Cotswolds, in Genuine BMW PARTS forum.
Not sure if the the inners are Cab specific, but if you find the part Nos on Realoem,
i have an inner inner arch, and an inner outer arch part here if needed.

[Daddycoo1est]

ooh cheers mate will check it out and let you know hows the car coming along?
& did you track that Steve down? you should put a pic up of him in case he is working from somewhere else.

Des

[Dezzy]

Look forward to seeing proper pics of it..

Me too!

[Daddycoo1est]

Have found the little Runt on a Vauxhall forum. PQ9
Have been in touch with the Administrators there, and after a discussion between
them they have agreed to let me post my part of this story there, have to say a big thank you
to them for allowing this, it could be potentially damaging to their site after all.

His username there is......... the painter

The runner would be more appropriate me thinks

[Daddycoo1est]

also just so you know rob usernames on the other forum space cadet and chris h are both freinds of steve

Wonder if they will remain friends of his when the paint starts peeling off their cars as it will with prep work like that.
Dang shame they locked it before I got on there Rob cause I would have pointed out a few things to them like
to Big Dan's comment
"so there is defonutly somebody stiring this up then as people have said before this is a friendly site and people to share good and bad news not for petty slagging matches if that is all you are here for then maybe you should leave if not i will !!!!!!"

mmmm is this workmanship not bad news to anyone who has had their car done by him, just because other cars got finished so that they didn't have to strip them down and start over to find all the bodgit work done.

[Daddycoo1est]

How long till the thread gets deleted too I wonder... Oh well, if a Vauxhall gets f**ked up by this loser, no great loss.

Looking at the Calibre Enzo look alike it's too late for that lol

[gooner1]

Re SORN, looks like i,m ok for up to 14 days.

When SORN isn't needed
SORN isn’t needed if:

you sell the vehicle
you scrap the vehicle or pass it to a scrap dealer
your insurance company has written off the vehicle
you take the vehicle abroad permanently
you apply for a refund of vehicle tax and don’t keep the vehicle
you are keeping the vehicle off the road and untaxed for less than 14 days
your vehicle was last taxed before 31 January.

[johnt0709]

Rob - when will we be able to see some pics?

[The_Diddler]

Come on Rob, need more pictures

[gooner1]

Got loads, both of car and new shiny, plasticy bloody expensive bits.
Alas , for reasons known only to the strange and malevoent Pixie that resides
rent free in my puter, my Camera download shit is,nt being recognised atm.
Bear with me, i want to post pics more than you desire to view them
Been over most of the day trying to match numerous bolts, clips, screws etc,
with bits of metal and holes.
It,s slowly taking shape and i,ve got to say i am loving the way it,s starting to look.

[Alex]

Come on get that camera sorted

Bet its looking ace

[gooner1]

Here,s one from last week.

[Alex]

[gooner1]

Seems i,ve lost a whole bunch of pics, which has majorly pissed me off.
Stuck a new memory card in Camera today and it seems to have sorted whatever the problem
was





Progress putting it all back together is painfully slow, due to
missing, broken or damaged bits. Stuck the decent wheels
and tyres on today, discovering in the process that the ones
we removed had only two bolts per wheel, and some of them
were,nt even finger tight . I dread to think what would have happened if it had been me that drove it after The Twat had abandoned it. The mood i was in i would,nt have been driving
sedately that,s for sure. Also got the softop back on, sort of,
there are a couple of nuts ,bots and spacers missing.
Luckily the roof is going to be ok, was mainly covered in dust
and not overspray. Rear lights, Doors, indicators back on
and all working correctly, locks, bootlid, wipers and Horseshoe going on soon and then it,s MOT time.
Only putting the bare minimum needed for the MOT on,
then i,ll be bringing it home and replacing all the missing broken
stuff.
On a brighter note, a whole host of new bits are awaiting installation.





Apolgys for lack of pictures, i actually forot to take any
today, until i was pulling out of the Yard. Will take plenty
soon as i get there next time.

Btw, the Door is,nt closed properly in the last pic, hence it appearing not to line up as it should.
Oh, and even the fecking Fuel cap has gone awol.

[Alex]

[Dezzy]

Coming together mate. Well done for sticking with it, colour looks

[spook]

Your turning into a proper homo taking pics of bags of bits

My stupid missus popped round my garage the other day for something and left some nice shiney screws on the floor, one of my brand new Proxies now needs a repair


Paint on of your old BBS wheels gold and see what she looks like on the car with that nice new Red paint

[gooner1]

Would be easier if some kind soul photo ( Ollie ) shopped it Chris.
Bad news re tyre mate, thats what you get for having a Screw on the garage floor though.

Cheers Dezzy, tbh it,s hard work, been doing nights for the last 9 shifts and it,s a bit disheartening when your,s staring at a cab floor full of bits after an hour or 2,s kip.

Took the carpet out today too, a couple of tiny paint stains on it, but think it,s saveable.

[toecutter666]

Rob, i've started stripping my chromie cab to do bits n bobs, if you need anything to get you through your mot your more than welcome to pop down and borrow them till you get sorted. Glad your getting near the end of your nightmare, motor looks lovely.

[johnt0709]

Rob looking good. My money is on the pics being on the camera and not the memory card.

Thanks mate. There is something you , or any Cab owner, could do for me. N eed a couple of pics of the top of the windscreen
frame from the inside, with top up and down.
Cheers.

[toecutter666]

No worries, pm me your phone number and i'll send you some tonight unless you want them e-mailed to ya. I'll be home about 5 and will do it then.

[Blitz]

Looks great. Gold BBS's would look cool.

[ImysE30]

Good progress Rob, loving the paint finish

Just keep on it

[toecutter666]

Rob, did you get my e-mail? not the greatest with these new fangled computy wossits, prefer hammers and power tools myself

[gooner1]

Nope nothing here Darren, hammer time.

[toecutter666]

Bugger it, the wosit said it was sent, i'll try again now.

[toecutter666]

Ok mate sent e mail again, these are the photos i sent you

[gooner1]

Nothing in my inbox Darren, but those pics will do nicely.
Thanks mate.

[gooner1]

Hoping this little lot is dust rather than overspray.
Either way, it,s time for the Hoover and cleaning products, ala Falkster.
