the hell you say

and yes

Looking forward to it. I'll try and remember to bring my camera along to this one. Might have a new toy to play with, if the price is right.

Page 402, strange I have  just been asked if I want to buy a Peugeot 402!

 

[Yoss]

I hope you said yes.

It did not appeal, now a 403 is getting warmer, 404 is hotter my era. Spot on for me is the 504 and I have one.

Is this to collect a failure? Or so Chris can bring 2 cars back at once 😂

[beko1987]

Nvm Chris posted his pic as I was typing my reply. This isn't more railway that needs a full strip down and overhaul before we can play with it or assembling in the exact identical way it came apart is it? 😟

It is shelving for the container/barn that Andyrew found for sale and this is load number two he has bought to us.

And yes it needs work to assemble it including cuting down the 9 foot uprights to 7 feet for the container.

Thank you @Andyrew

An 02 Peugeot is definitely on my bucket list.  Probably more likely to be a 202 rather than a 402 though - much as I'd love a 402 they seem to fetch rather a lot of money in decent condition

I was also offered this.

Looks like a brand new BMW at a quick glance

What an insult!

[Back_For_More]

that 'parts' car is lovely........ go your own way. Definitely the preferred option - or was it a package deal?

[wuvvum]

Dare one ask how much?

[horriblemercedes]

4-5/06 might work. Should know next week!

I take it they didn't want a CF as a swap?

 

I'm just trying to work out how to cut those uprights down without 240v.  Adapt a 9" grinder disc to 3 stud and attach to the Flymo Saxo?

Many would call it sacrilege but I'm definitely getting images in my head of hot-rodding that and confusing the hell out of every single person at an american car meet.

Definitely has potential - "DO NOT PAINT", but PRV V6 swap maybe?

[Six-cylinder]

This made it blink!

My MGB GT has not seen daylight since Oct 2019, but today it started without a fight and drove home. 

3rd of June it is booked to form part of a display of British cars for sale during the Queens reign at our local village event.

That's proper. Wavy front plate tho? Minor issue.

Bought 11 years ago with a wavy front number plate!

For me it is the black wipers that offend my eye.

Does @Mrs6Cwant some pallets whilst I've got a run over to do for Eva's coat in the next day or so, and am at the office this morning?

Yes please!

[beko1987]

Got the 4 best ones left. Of the others one was broken and the rest are too wide to fit in my car. 

Keith's had all the really good new ones now I'm afraid, could always crowbar his compost heap apart, but I'll keep an eye out. Got 2 nice grey royal mail post trays on Tuesday that had been in the bin area for a few weeks. Gave them a wash and their now my camping_shit boxes hopefully 👍

Today I collected my 2CV with a fresh MOT.

I took it to Zels to drop of the Bedford CF diesel pump for him to see if it can be saved. Also I took him yet another rotor arm and HT leads for the never ending story of poor ignition components for Trevi's poor running.
