May be interested, I need to generate some space at home before I get anything like a welder and gas bottles etc, i'm packed out with useless clutter!
Lankytim Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 I used to have a clarke90 gasless mig. I could never get it to work properly! I need to get something beefier with a gas bottle.
bub2006 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 OK mate that's fair enough. I should perhaps teach myself to use it. C15 an all!
Lankytim Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 TBH I found that the bigger the welder the easier it was to use, gasless is really hard to get decent results from too. Does anyone like using gasless welders?
cort16 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 When I first started I used gasless as gas was hard to get ahold of in 9 litre bottles and the hobby ones are shit. It's not easy to get a nice weld on gassless.There's usually cheap second hand ones for sales on retro rides.
Lankytim Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 HOLA, as of today, the PT cruiser has gone and this is now my daily driver. The inlaws have gone spare, not sure why as it's nothing to do with them. Apparently it's a problem that I can no longer transport the whole family around. I think I'm going to find a minibus that's being broken and nick all the glass it if it and a couple of seats for the back. Has anyone got a pair of coach seats or similar with belts? Will this be "illegal" to do as it's a panel van on the V5? Vince70 and jonathan_dyane 2
bub2006 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I'm looking into it with the c15. Side and rear facing are ok, no engineering reports or belts needed. Forward facing need belts and a report.
Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Take your inlaws for a spin with the door open, they'll soon come round Lacquer Peel, Dave_Q, anonymous user and 5 others 8
beko1987 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Or pop the seat belt off as you turn a corner and watch them fall out and not be an issue anymore!

andy18s Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Why would you even consider side seats? Get some good strong seats,and make sure they get bolted to solid parts of the floor...
dollywobbler Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Don't forget the seatbelts. I guess seats with belts fitted are the easiest solution. 2CVs are sods for water leaking through the wiper spindles. I've known folk make their own seals to prevent it. They always look AWFUL though. Not sure if that matters here.

It's a pair of seats with belts from the ex-CMS Transit camper conversion that Moog was doing. Will donated a pair to us for my sis to put in her work van, but she never turned up for me to do it. They're yours if you want them Tim, FOC, natch. Come and get em, BD23, fill up on cabbage_juice while you're at it to make it worth your while. I'm still absent for another week, but cabbage_lad is about. holbeck and Lankytim 2

Don't spose you're going to the Cannock meet? cms206 and KruJoe 2
KruJoe Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 No, but I have some ideas to help the seats in your direction. Bear with...

Lankytim Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 I think the weird noises coming from the back end (or at least some of them) are down to a whiny N/S/R wheel bearing. Do I need any special tools to get the bearing off and the new one fitted?
HillmanImp Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Yo! Tim, do you still have my old Aldi or did you move it on? I've just been nostalgically looking up a load of my old cars and see its on a SORN.

Last time we spoke you told it it had been sold to one of it's previous owners from years ago and they had it on SORN. It's back up in Newcastle or somewhere now I think. *EDIT!* Oh yeah, just remembered!!, I had that coupe from you! I took it all to bits, bought some parts for it but never got it running. My boss at work had it, did the same and passed it onto an auto electrician, who still has it. It's in the Warrington area. I still owe a donation to your charity! HillmanImp 1
HillmanImp Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Ha ha, yeah, the coupe. I think the 100 is in east Leeds somewhere, maybe Castleford? Was a nice car the coupe. I would probably still have it if I hadn't run out of money paying the garage about £700 (£200 more than I paid for the car) to do absolutely feck all to it. It got to the point that I just had to cut my losses and get shot of it. Gutted. Lankytim 1
Lankytim Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 The Coupe was lovely. I spent ages cleaning it up and making it look nice. Just never got to the bottom of why it wouldn't run. Bloody thing.
Lankytim Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 I've been offered an identical Pilot for spares, £150 (neg) should I?........ KruJoe, Cavcraft, loserone and 1 other 4

Lankytim Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 I really didn't want to get involved in another project... gah!! Needs must I guess. This one has been off the road for 4 years but run and moved regularly. Pre booked MOT? a frame with a Daewool Matiz? stephen01 1
