pandamonium Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Just to update.. Yes, I did have a wobbly moment and put it up for sale. No, it isn't for sale anymore. Yes, that could change depending what mood I'm in. I've whacked a cherry bomb I had in the cupboard on just for childish giggles (removable as no mods needed) and replaced the wiper blades. I've also acquired a can of Nordic Blue spray paint, and I'll try to make it look a bit prettier.

pandamonium Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Tidied up some of the crappy bits and reworked the badge.

Marm Toastsmith Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yes, I have just used rust remover and painted over for now, will sort it properly when I have more money. For a lasting repair, paint, then tape, then more paint. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Finances dictate that this must go.I'm just really shit with money and I'm stuck in a job which pays crap. Thought I'd have found something else by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 I offered an indicator switch to the new owner of this car. I’m sure I’ll have a suitable wiper switch too if it turns out to be at fault. I paid a fiver for this ages ago, but it hasn't turned up. And no reply to my message. It's not the money, just the principle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod/b Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 This reminds me of something that happened when I was growing up. A couple of wheel trims were nicked from my dad’s Rover 213 so he decided to visit a scrappers to replace them. So we drove to Ferry Road in Rainham where he walked in to the first scrappers, and was shown to a shipping container sized skip full of mixed wheel trims and wished “Good fucking luck mate”. That skip’s contents would probably be a decent retirement fund these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Was thinking 8 quid a ticket, two for 15? Would that snag anyone's interest? Tam and yes oui si 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Was thinking 8 quid a ticket, two for 15? Would that snag anyone's interest? If you're happy to sell 29.5 pairs at £15 each - you might just be better bunging it up at £450. That would represent immense value and surely be hoovered up within moments. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayts450 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'd certainly be up for a roffle, I've got to win something soon surely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Was thinking 8 quid a ticket, two for 15? Would that snag anyone's interest? Being a fucking tight arse and remembering how cheap a half decent mk1 astra could be had in the early 90's, I was thinking £4 a ticket or 2 for £7.50. I'll get my coat............ Thinking about it this is the sort of roffle that needs to be encouraged. The sort of car that nobody "sane" would aspire to, and yet, somehow appealing by it's very lack of appeal. So fuck it £8 a ticket or 2 for £7:50 seems fine. I'll have 28 the number of year my marriage will have lasted before it ended, on winning this.

purplebargeken Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It is a very cool car, clean and tidy inside an practical too. Even better now with a carb that works properly and some paint on the squiffy bits. I would, but for the following I'm not: I'm trying to remove stuff from my world. I have had the pleasure of this little beastie before. Insurance wankers will no longer regard it as a classic under their fluctuating and seemingly arbitrary system* of classification.
