  1. This was finished off and covered up Inside the rear arch was also treated It recently developed a new fault with the fan blower motor not doing anything, the relay clicks but nothing else. All fuses seem to be ok, removed and checked so the dash will need to come out and the steering column dropped and the clutch pedal needs shifted as well to get to the motor I'm needing a car to take three of us to Manchester and I'm not likely to get the blower motor sorted in time so this was collected last week It did ok mpg on the way home Many thanks to @NorthernMonkey for being accomodating and getting me from the station. Think that is me roughly up to date now.
  2. It was then this one's turn It went through no problem, the windscreen had a small crack outside the view of the driver so that got changed shortly after. Then the indicator telltale decided to not so I climbed up to this To get one of these I've now got 12,000 miles less but have indicators. My MOT man said the rear passenger sill was needing attention but not bad enough to get a fail. He knows I sort stuff reasonably quickly. I gave it some prodding with a screwdriver and got this Then came the angle grinder Then some MR2 door skin was applied It was like I'd forgotten how to weld where I started, on the right if you hadn't noticed... Started again at the top left and was much happier.
  3. This is still here and I'll probably get round to getting it sold at some point. This went through no problem Meg's 107 started making an unpleasant exhaust noise and the flange on the bottom of the cat had detached so that got some weld thrown at it.
  4. It has been a while since I updated this. The Civic left and then this arrived from my regular supplier @davehedgehog31 My youngest, Meg, had a friend at uni that was getting a new* Polo and had been offered a shit trade in deal. I said I'd sell it for him so this arrived. Was a decent car with a lot of miles on the 1.2 engine. It was clear it had been well looked after. This went to a friend of @aldo135
  5. There has been a vacuum cleaner over £1000 for at least 20 years.
  6. Congratulations. Couldn't be more deserved with the amount of effort you have put in.
  7. Is it a wonderful S MAX? Or even just an S MAX.
  8. Lovely. Is it a Wolsey Hornet or a Riley Elf?
  9. I was behind one the other week and it was the same size as the Berlingo van I was driving!
  10. Not great news, just remember that the conversion you have done to this car has the attention to detail of someone that notices the little drips and does something about it. Yes shit happens and it has at least ruined your weekend but you know you have the skill to get it sorted when you can face it again. What gearbox is it and is it worth looking for another so you can swap it out?
  11. All the bonnets I have seen are always too flat at that join, it is as if they couldn't be bothered putting the curve in at all.
  12. Bold statement on here with all us weirdos
  13. That's an excellent result. Hopefully the same with the Fiat.
  14. Well done. Glad it's all downhill on the way home...
  15. You are making good progress. I'll give a little wave as you are not too far away at the moment.
  16. Glad you are back on this. Excellent work again.

    Another peugeot 406 of questionable quality to be despised by domestic management?
  20. So it has been a month since the MOT and fixing the Civic. It was in the best shape it had been for quite a while so the obvious thing and usual approach I take was to sell it. It didn't get advertised as someone needed transport for a new job and this fitted the bill. Currently have the work van and the Insight to use until something else comes along.
  21. I've liked that post because of the friends you have. I hope the bounce back journey is fun. Make it the adventure you want it to be.
  22. Good stuff, take it easy after the anesthetic, no important decisions. Shall we link all the roffles for you here?
