Here it is :D
Considering i got to keep my Hartge`s,maplight mirror and CD player ive worked out that this owes me nothing :D bearing in mind i only paid Ԛ£180 for the other one.

Picked it up this morning and im well chuffed.
Put a fan belt on it,checked oil and water and fired first flick winkeye
Swapped the wheels over and noticed it has got almost new grooved discs and nearly new pads although they will need cleaning for MOT.

Drove home fine,instantly noticable difference in power.
Few things are going to need to be sorted out ASAP inc no brake lights/washers,exhaust rubbers split? and clutc slave cylinder going(losing pressure after a few seconds).

Booked in for MOT on Monday afternoon at 4pm so fingers
crossed :mad:

Going to spend the weekend going through the whole car putting things right,hopefully it will pass first time,now that would be cool :)

Gave it a quick wash and came up really well,should look nice when polished :cool:

PS nearly forgot i swapped my maplight mirror(Ԛ£10)and my Mtec gearknob(Ԛ£13)with my mate for the Mtec2 steering wheel too :rofl:
Oh what a wonderfull day 8)

Jammy sod, When I had my sport....I looked everywhere for a rear blind. I went to bm but they wanted sumit like Ԛ£291 for shelf and blind! Gave up in the end but now I have a cab, I have no need!

Yes thats the way to do it!!! That sounds like the time I went years ago(about 9 years). Went up to the counter asked "How much for a Belmont back box?" Thats what I had at 17, GLSI was fast compared to my friends in there nova's! So the guy say's "oh about Ԛ£5, get it yourself from in there!" He pointed into the scrapyard.......I go in and find an SRI back box off a Belmont. When I go back to the counter, the guy look's at me and say's " That's of a SRI, that will be Ԛ£20! " but me being me!!!!
"Hang on a minute, two minutes ago you said Ԛ£5!" He argue's about it being a better box than standard, I argue it's just a scrap back box! We settel on Ԛ£10 and I run out fast!! Bargin me thought!
