    Let me guess, as it's "steak and blow job day" I'm guessing that your mum was texting your dad to tell him that his steak was cooked medium rare and that his blow job will be well done but she texted you instead accidentally?

    Ooh, interesting suggestions already, good stuff guys.
     
    It may come as no surprise at all that I went with the Austin Atlantic suggested by AngryDicky.  Just ink this time around because I've not had much time to devote to it.  That said, I really enjoyed this one, they're very pleasant lines to work on.
     
    Austin A90 Atlantic - £20 inc. P&P
    Option:  apply colour for an additional £20

    I have been using the Visa as my daily driver for a few months now. I really like it, its spot on for tootling to work and back, is comfy and dare I say it, reliable.
     
    It got through its MOT with very little issues. As you will have seen in various other threads, I needed a side indicator and Vulgalour managed to track one down in Poland at exactly the same time as I did. The O/S headlight was also a french one but got through the MOT with a couple of beam benders on. Other than that it was fine with an advisory for a couple of new rear tyres and a slight oil leak.
     
    Since then I have managed to get hold of a UK spec headlight for the cost of postage from the most excellent Mikee on the Visa Forum who also sent me the trim that was missing from the front.
     
    At some point this summer I will sort out the rust on the bonnet but for now have just straightened it up slightly, although its worse than I thought and may have to play with the idea of a new bonnet if I am going to do it right. I need to speak to someone about painting it, if I am going to have to paint the whole bonnet after repairing it I may as well get a better bonnet and paint that but if I can get away with a small area betting painted after a repair, I may as well get it sorted as its only a small part of the bonnet that is fooked.
     
    The bumper was not secured properly either as the bash it has had has knocked all the brackets out of whack but I have just cable tied it for now as I am busy with the GT6 more than this but it does look a lot better now:
     


     
    Where it has been bashed, the bumper plastic is a little white in places where it has been stressed. Therefore I think I am probably going to have to paint it one weekend. This will also give me the chance to get it reattached properly when I put it back on.
     
    I do not have much else to add though as it really has been quite good. Now its getting nicer I might have to fit a stereo so that I can pop on some shades and go CRUZIN' WIV SUM PHAT CHOONS BLUD, a subwoofer and some WIKID DUBSTEP should make me well look the part.

    Re. wheel straps - if you're taking it any distance, remember to stop after a few miles and check the strap tension. If any of the tyres are less than airtight, they can work loose and need ratcheting down again.

    trigger reacted to Partridge in I can haz free Orion shite?   
    Right, I'm asking on behalf of a friend, with a vested interest because this car MAY end up being mine if the Merc does indeed end up getting written off, and IF I/we can get it running and testable.
     
    He's been clearing out an old house which use to belong to an old lady (who has now passed on) and has found a 1989 Ford Orion in the garden...I've not seen the car with my own eyes, but according to him it's not too borked body work wise and looks like it could live to run rich another day. Problem is, it has no history, log book or paperwork of any description at all anywhere in the house or in the car itself.  Apprently the old biddy chucked a load of stuff on the bonfire shortly before she died, so I'm gussing that's where the paperwork went... Obviously the family are more than happy for someone to take it away and do it up, but if there's no logbook and what have you, is there a way it can legally change hands?
     
    All I know is that it is blue with white wheel trims and has been sitting in a garden for three years.
     
    My friend says if I want it I can have it, and free shite is never to be overlooked!

    In fairness to Pop-On, their panels were never intended for restoration work, they were made to get hopeless old crocks through another couple of MOTs. They come from the time when Haynes manuals had a section entitled "12:- Application of wob", so ill-fitting pattern panels were actually quite high up the scale.
