A race you say?

Challenge accepted.

I get a nosebleed if I have to go to Exeter (about 15 miles) to collect a car so hat well and truly, doffed! 

[sporty-shite]

Epic thread, 'peas.

 

Remeber when I worked on a car sales pitch in the '90s, the guy who owned it bought a fleet of 305 GRD estates from a company which was liquidating. ALL BEIGE, with signwriting down the sides. Back then, they were dull conveyances, would that have happened now, that pitch would have WON AUTOSHITE!!11!1

Get this to repair your wheel arches and you will never be bothered with rust again.

 

I know because I've seen it on cars round here and the rust mysteriously disappears!

 

[Noel Tidybeard]

at least the clock is right in this one!

[billyboy406v6]

Great thread, really enjoyed it !!!!!!!!!!   

[stripped fred]

That is my top thread of the year so far. Well done Mr Shitpeas.

[scruff]

Amusing and educational - much like Viz 

[overrun]

Maybe I will get to see this one!

I haven't seen you in person for two to three months? and in that time, you have had what, two two cars come and go?

 

Gerrin!

 

Hopefully I will see the third.

Superb stuff, you can't really go wrong with a old Peugeot diesel to be fair, they are like a comfy pair of sleepers.

[Jim Bell]

 

Comfy sleepers are comfy Trig.

[trigger]

I've just LOLZ! Obviously I meant slippers!

Everyone has a comfy old slapper. See 'Volvo like fat bird' simile previously quoted.

Had a look in the glove box, hoping to find a bookies pen or a half packet Woodbines.

 

Was disappointed though.  All I found was a stamped service history, owners guide and the original instructions for the Phillips DC 553 ICE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So unhappy*

[Jim Bell]

Gave the auld bus a wash today.  Came up nice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I saw a hole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think she will be going to Filthyjohn of this parish for a thorough inspection and some welds.

[vulgalour]

Like many things, it looks much better now you've blasted all the bird poop off it.

I had a girlfriend in Halewood who's mum had one of those, same colour too. Girl had huge norks.

PBK gets the Bejesus award for resurrecting the word 'Norks'...

 

Must rank up there with the recently re-established Unicorn Champions Hurdle .... Well done that man!

[mat_the_cat]

Great thread! Have an article from Diesel Car 1994 in return.

 

 

 

[cort1977]

_{I somehow missed this thread full of win, excellent work.}

[Jim Bell]

^cheers for that!  Awesome!

 

 

 

Managed to fluke some ramp time at the freindliest and BEST independent garage today.  Gave the underside a cursory once over.

 

 

Hup!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Badly tacked patch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even the Backbox is solid!

 

 

 

 

 

Its not all good news though.

 

Bad bits:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One rear shock is leaking. Maybe two.

 

Rad is leaking from the rear fin area (radweld?)

 

All the brakes are shit.  Including the handbrake mech.  Guessing new disks, pads, hopefully adjust the handbrake.

 

Summat up with the clutch. Pedal is as stiff as a JBL lariat* doesnt return right and the bite is progressive and vague.  It doesnt slip though, and you can spin the wheels without slipping.  Collapsed pressure plate spring or summat?

 

 

Hole near passenger door hinge. As pictured earlier. WELD.

 

 

On the whole, I'm happy. I thought it would want a days welding, minimum so I'm glad its solid.  There are a few jobs to do, but I'm gonna press on and improve is as I can.

 

Think it may be a keeper.

Like so?

 

 

Anyway, I think you did very well with just two knackered shocks and some pillar weldage.

Its the opposite of everything I have ever done.  But I understand the concept from doing research on the internets.

Definitely worth restoring, they're so rare.  And delightful to drive when sorted.

[Vin]

Love that interior ...Congratulations on the cleanliness of your undercarriage Mr Shitpeas...

 

At least any external work can be done on the vertical...Can you get replacement arches or the like in the longterm??

[Jim Bell]

Arch repair panels exist.  Or they did.  May be able to turn some up.  Fingers crossed.
