DodgyBastard Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Checked the spare on the Volvo and it's the same as the rear wheels so I'll just need to find another the same to have a complete set. DSC_0168 by srblythe, on Flickr volvo "Nova" style alloys is what I need.

No, that style of interior is worthless so didn't see any pointy in removing it if nobody will ever want to buy it.

DodgyBastard Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 They just don’t make tide marks like that any more. That will be one of the first things to go when it has it's makeover along with the pikey graphics. I'm toying with the idea of painting it but haven't decided whether to paint it red or change the colour altogether. Dick Cheeseburger and Angrydicky 2
bezzabsa Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 OMFG I wanna move to Haggis land...!!!!All those cars.. all those Cheap cars!!!

Get ya minds out the gutter LOL.. Feel like donating the Proton to a poor old-ish Yam Yam???? Will supply Irn Bru???
Pillock Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 It's like a sports tidemark the way it kicks up to the back wheel. Adds 13bhp.
nisfan Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 The sporty tide mark 13bhp is sadly negated by the the beacon which loses it 13bhp mk2_craig 1
DodgyBastard Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 It only has 27bhp at the wheels.The power to weight ratio is excellent... Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk worldofceri, alcyonecorporation, Dirk Diggler and 11 others 14
alcyonecorporation Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Yep, you know when I said it was very rusty? Yeah, it's rusty. Very rusty. richardthestag and Supernaut 2
DodgyBastard Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 DSC_0219 by srblythe, on Flickr It's not really too bad, it just appears to be the sill ends and rear arches that are affected. I've managed to cut out most of the rot so hope to get it welded up over the weekend. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about arch panels? I hear that Fiesta arches are cheap.

DodgeRover Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Doesn't look bad if that's the worst of it.Are you going to be stuck welding this back together, I'm nosey and want to see what happens with the stainless rods...

mr_fish Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Just needs a bit of positive pressure at the inlet to help it along. Keen to see this progress.
