Can't wait to see the old lady pull into my driveway looking somewhat different to what it did two years ago!

that temp guage is P1551NG me off! i'll ask my dad tomorrow for you.
Need to get the bits off that 5 sold asap too. i am soooooooooooooooo f.c.u.k.e.d this month its un-true! those front indicators sold! yay! maybe i'll remove them tomorrow and post them off to the winner.
It was the tyres he needed,not the alloys and turns out only his front were knackered,i thought he wanted four aswell.SCOTT325SE wrote:Rog, ur a legend with the indicators! Whats with the 2 tyres thing? i thought he wanted the set of alloys?
I should be able to drop by, briefly, but that depends on the Tester. if he is a git and gives me a bloody list, not only will he get a seveer slap, but it will take longer before im off on the road. I intend to stop by though.
Marc, i'll take the pump Sir! How much dollar do I need to furnish you with? And can i pick it up tuesday night? If anyone else has a pre facelift external pump, im more than happy to buy 2.
Fair nuff mate, we'll get them on egay soon and have the thing gone when we un-morsel it. i spotted the shoulders of the tyres when we were doing the swap. im not arsed tbh. lolJesus325iTouring wrote: It was the tyres he needed,not the alloys and turns out only his front were knackered,i thought he wanted four aswell.
BTW we didn't notice,but i think Mr Jonb has been doing some drifting in the 5 as the leading edges of the pass side tyres had real nasty scuffing on them!
At least he had BBS so we still have a complete set of 5 alloys to go on Ebay.
Engine crane is fine where it is still at the minute,it's well blocked in at the minute by the M20 trailer,a freezer and various other bits of detrious so is perfectly safe if you want to leave here until you not pushed for time.
Fingers crossed of course you'll have a fresh ticket by 9am anyway!
Sleep well Fool,good luck for tomorrow,and i'll speak to you during the weekSCOTT325SE wrote:
if i can leave the hoist till friday mate, that would be more than cool. the m20 trailer needs to be un-m20'd i think - you'd be supprised how much money an engine will break to in a very short period of time. that could be xmas shopping for ya. lol
9am, fingers crossed. im off to bed now to dream about problem-free e30 running
nos da plant!

Thats a very executive statement Theo! Have you just collected your Giro or something? Im not risking damaging the drivetrain after all this work mate. I REAAAAALLLLY wanna bring it, but i wont risk it. She drives spot on though! Need a rolling road day soon to see what she put down.Theo325 wrote:Scott, well done mate - but I'm not having this 'not bringing it to aces' bollocks, I will buy you a birthday half pint of coke if you bring it - I'm feeling generous.
Exactly! Another week wont kill me. I can do the seal and frag that breaker i was on about in the same day/weekend.Theo325 wrote:Thats too bad mate, but whats another couple of weeks in the grand scheme of things?!
Will hopefully see you later on, even if it is in some french clutter.
You must be very proud. You going to buy a decent car anytime soon?dobbie82 wrote:Congratulations Scott
Are you gonna replace the P40 with metal someday?
My husband got a car through a retest by mixing P38 i think with 3 or 4 times the recommended amount of hardner, bit of mesh, filling the holes then repainted the sills.
The tester said that isnt metal but he cant fail it!
It was an old sierra about 15 years ago, all our cars go to the Garage for the MOT work so its all above board!Andyboy wrote:You must be very proud. You going to buy a decent car anytime soon?dobbie82 wrote:Congratulations Scott
