DoctorRetro Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 RJC_7302 by srblythe, on Flickr Mrs SK has been using the Corolla this week, nothing to report apart from being typically reliable and a little bit boring to drive. Mot is up in April so will need to look into replacing the wheel arches shortly. Rot? TADTSBoring? TADTSReliable? Let's hope so.

DodgyBastard Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Found some snow to play in! RJC_7608 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7615 by srblythe, on Flickr Also found another couple of Subarus for spares. RJC_7624 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7633 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7629 by srblythe, on Flickr I spotted both of them a few years ago and enquired about buying them, the farmer said he would sell the beige one but was using the blue one but now the blue one is knackered he will sell me both of them. I think I will buy both and try making a good one from both of them. eddyramrod, Scruffy Bodger, Skizzer and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 The roffle win avensis has passed its mot! Hopefully my father will continue to take care of it and use it instead of letting it rust away in a damp garage like his previous Toyota camry.

DodgyBastard Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Today I went and paid for these two RJC_7803 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7804 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7807 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7810 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7811 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_7814 by srblythe, on Flickr They are both pretty knackered but hopefully they will provide some decent spares for my other one. I took some videos too so will try and piece them all together later. Lacquer Peel, MorrisItalSLX, egg and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That tailgate on the blue one is ace. I now have a somewhat deranged scene in my mind of somebody riding a quad up it and then accidentally getting beheaded on the load cover.

DodgyBastard Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 "Will it start?"*starter halfheartedly turns twice and dies*"Fuuuuuuck. That'll be no then" That Ranger repair was exquisite. Didn't want to weld though did it? The Subarus don't even look too bad, considering they're farm hacks...I was expecting it to start no bother, I had just removed the battery from the diesel w123 which I had running 5 minutes previously and fitted it to the ranger.There were a number of factors as to why it wasn't welding particularly well, the earth connection was poor, it was rusty and the metal I was trying to stick together varied in thickness so it wasn't arcing very well or was blowing holes in the thinner bits.The rest of the ranger isn't pretty so I wasn't all that bothered about trying to do a good job or make it look nice.

bramz7 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Dare I say the beige one looks reasonably okay? Front arches inner and outer look quite ventilated mind you. I remember when these were bloody everywhere in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
