Boot out and cleaned, full of fooking BBQ Coal

Doesn't look too bad, not rot really, all you see is surface and a lot of crap. just sponged out the dirt out, and left to dry.

Anyway, let the pics do the talking.

Wrong carpet though!

Boots are easy to sort out...

Get the interior out!

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:43 pm

[int carpet]................. kneel on it first and pray for no rot !

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:52 pm

Rav I've got a back panel carpet trim piece that goes between the rear lights I understand the lesser engined chrome turds didnt have if you want it ?

I'll bring it to Jim's meet if you want it - no charge

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 2:04 pm

Cheers Rob, i'll take it if it's good mate.

Jim, you'll all have to wait now till next week, i'm off to Venice with the missus

Only just got that, seen your reply earlier thought you was asking if he was coming to mine in it which made no sense...

Now im proper giggling

Do keep up Jim

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 9:44 pm

Don't know what was funnier, Fergs wit or Jims stupidity!

Looks like you've got some sanding and painting to do there Rav, hopefully it'll all go back to clen metal!

Oh and the dude payed up for those bumper caps.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 9:49 pm

Bollocks Dave

I bid on those, and as always, heard the reminder and thought i'll get to it in a second, and forgot

I'll try stealers.

Might take out the seats ane carpet tomorrow, or else i'll have to help pack

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 9:53 pm

You fool, they went for quite a bit cheaper than i expected. Although a few years ago they were pretty cheap from the stealers i think!

Interior strip is a better option than packing!

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 9:55 pm

Too right, anythings better than packing a suitcase

I've got to ring them in the morning anyway to see if my stach of parts has turned up, some lovely goodies.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:27 pm

How long will it take you to remove seats and carpet Rav?

How long does it take you to pack a case for 1 week away, more to the point?

You can't spare 15 mins out of the day because you need to pack? For 1 week away? Really?

Come on, your sh1tting your thong about what you'll find, aren't you?!

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:32 pm

Wondered when you would show up luv.

It's coming out tomorrow mate, just can't do it all in one go as the lads are about, and missus shouting her head off every 10 mins at them

You know what it's like.

But it's defo out tomorrow.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:33 pm

I bet he's already got it out and is stalling so he can bodge it up a bit!

If i hadn't got to go physio in the morning i'd stop off on the way home from work an offer some morale support!

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:34 pm

Dave, come over mate, it's still int there.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:36 pm

Leaving here at 7 and got to be in Ashby for 8, not going to have time mate.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:39 pm

Hope it goes well mate.

Good shout!

Anyone else thinking Rav might be missing some frag by the time he gets back from his Romantic break

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:53 pm

Missing fook all.

My Dads looking sfter the kids at mine.

Much fun to be had, I bet he'll be looking to escape

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:14 pm

the spotwelds in the boot look quite fruity Rav

let me know if you need anything,
I have just acquired an 86 vintage non sunroof Alpine white turd

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:23 pm

Surface Steve, i looked at thos carefully too

to see if they were terminal.

Ah good , what's it look like??

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:39 pm

What about the other side of the spot welds?

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:44 pm

Underneath???
Will have to get the car in the air to see.

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:45 pm

Rav that aint surface, it's coming in from the underside box section, these turds don't rot from the inside out

want a non sunroof shell ?

Post Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:55 pm

You want to be peeping up these holes in the box section for a better idea;

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:04 am

There's a write up here where someone replaced that.
Hop I don't have to.
Cheers Dave.

Steve, lets see how good/bad it is.

Time for the new axle stands out for tomorrow then courtesy of Meatballs.

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:07 am

We could just tidy the last few posts up and you could sell it Jim if it's fooked

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:15 am

Ha ha Dave, jim's watching and saving this

EFA

Seriously though good luck Rav - hope its solid

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 8:19 am

Boot floor section is about £350 from the dealers IIRC

Hope it's ok Rav, I stick to my opinion that they are all fooked.

How much for the Recaro's?

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:11 am

Fergus, just because it may or not be fooked, Recaros will not be for sale.

Post Wed Apr 18, 2012 11:13 am

Rav, I wouldnt even waste my time with t if I was you... Fiona said ring us when its ready to go

If it comes my way, it wont be broke either

The missus wants it as her daily
