I have to admit to a wry smile at seeing Ken of all people taking a minor swipe at another member for not cracking on with their car projects! Oh come on, had to divert attention away from my own woeful project progress for a change!!!! Jeff Ball. He is apparently a well known old MG restorer/ fixer. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillOrange Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Good morning. Thought I might pop in and write something. F133 is currently in car spa in Poland getting some attention. Unfortunately after closer inspection of the work done in UK by a regarded restorer, I lost any trust in people doing their job right without looking at their hands at every possible opportunity. Quite frankly I was stupid thinking that it can be done properly without me being there. I am not even going to start listing things that were fucked up, said to be done and plainly made worse. Fuck you Classic Vehicle Restorations Ltd. by Jeff Ball Here is my beauty in current state.

Popular Post stillOrange Posted February 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2021 Probably last update as I hardly ever log in here nowadays. But because this originated here, I felt the need to share some more. The Fiat is finally back at home with me. It is now pretty and runs great. Turns stops and all that shit. It also makes me happy whenever I look at it and that's what's most important, innit. It is a one of a kind car for me that currently I can't see myself parting with. That will probably change when the seasons change and I see something shiny somewhere. Here's the car everyone.

eddyramrod Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thank you; "as well as I can be, in yet another lockdown, in the middle of fucking winter" is the answer!

Split_Pin Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That looks absolutely smashing. Well done! I recall the first time I saw one of these in Menorca in 1993, and I wondered what it was at first. It looked like a bigger Fiat 126 to my eyes and I was always drawn to them. They were numerous on the island but were not to be seen when I returned in 1997. stillOrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I have mentioned to you that MrsOrange's job involves testicle removals from living things. She knows how to do it with and without anesthesia. I'd like to keep mine for now. Other than that, wouldn't get through garage doors and availability of cadillac chod round here is extremely good. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
