Anything more complicated/fiddly than unbolting, replacing, re-bolting is mind melting to me.

[garethj]

Look at this bad boy!

 

A Reliant Supervan doesn't have enough wheels?

 

A Reliant Kitten is just too boring?

 

What you want is a Reliant Fox!!

I'm not sure if this is really a van or just a pickup with the world's smallest Truckman top

I'm quite likely to be replacing the front and rear brakes on my Passat this weekend, My trouble is lack of confidence at doing the jobs, even with a Haynes manual in front of me i worry that i might fuck it up and end up making things worse.Hence why I've asked my dad to help me.

1983 SUZUKI ALTO

 

Anyone fancy taken on this bad boy?, It's up in Station's part of the country.

 

1971 CHRYSLER VALIANT VIP

 

Now this is proper class, Only one owner from new and look at all the old shite in the background.

[seth]

Check the vans behind the Chrysler!Drum brakes. Don't know what you guys are whinging about!

VAUXHALL VICTOR SUPER ESTATE

 

If you wish the car to look much nicer ,the winning bidder may wish to have it resprayed for about £600 we can do a nice respray.

I wonder if the same bloke who painted that Maxi would do the job?

[barrett]

You're right it was on a couple of weeks ago I think, deffo a different seller this time, but it's an original RHD English-market car.

I used to see this every day when I lived around the corner from him in the Brentford Dock Estate.

 

I thought it was Caspian Blue but it is probably me becoming senile.

Vauxhall Carlton 2.0 GLi AUTO

 

This seems cheap enough for a old barge with T+T @ £375

 

1974 Morris 1800

 

One for Keef with the standard issue lowered suspension.

My essential selection;

 

Civic

 

The best car ever

 

Quantum

 

Hmm Scooby XT Coupe

 

And Another

 

Scruffy Camaro - I really like these 80s Camaro and not because of the Clarkson link either

 

Turbo Bluey Pre facelift too

 

309 GTI Maybe a bit rough ?

 

Pog's new Van

 

Mazza 323 Still up then "A USED CAR WARRANTY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE ASKING PRICE." hmmm

 

Should Suit Hirst Cabs I think ? TBH I wouldn't mind it.

 

HBL Pizza Turbo Slushbox Don't miss it Wat!

 

Supra I like these too. That JDM Twin-tubby is probably a better bet tho.

Horizon is Torstens /\

[whitevanman]

sorry double post

I'll let you off this one seeing as how bloody nice that Avenger is. Stuff like this makes me wish i had even an ounce of knowledge about fixing old cars 'needs brakes and clutch' has '£80/hour labour rates' written all over it for me i'm afraid...

as Pog says, brakes are a doddle, even the clutch is a piece of pish on these....get it and give us your phone number, I'm sure many of us would talk you through it

[whitevanman]

Drums are evil.

now thats very unfair...mostly drum brakes just need cleaned and adjusted if they have a problem....hell, even the women folk know how to clean things

[whitevanman]

Anything more complicated/fiddly than unbolting, replacing, re-bolting is mind melting to me.

see, and there is me thinking that the reason we all like shite cars is because we can all fix them......

1982 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 SR

 

WOW! I have never seen a X plate Mk2 before that i can remember and i never even knew they done the SR in a 1600cc, This must be worth saving!

 

1979 Vauxhall Chevette Estate

 

Anyone fancy a crusty shovette?, Not seen an estate for a long while.

"Cheap" Mini, with an incredible John Lennon related story!!!

1982 Vauxhall Cavalier SR

 

Dry stored for 15 years. Totally splendid!

 

[brammy777]

LOL at that Mini story:

The owner was introduced to the band,had a conversation with John Lennon who led him to the autoshop

In reality, this happened:'Scuse me, I couldnt help but notice that this is the Beetle Club? Yeh Ive been looking for a small car to buy, and I really wanted to try out the car youre advertising, seems a cool choice at the moment'Sadly they were out of stock it seems, pretty nice Mini though.

Cheers fella! Awfully kind of you. I fully intend to utilise the collective autoshite knowledge when I finally get driving. Still got to replace my lost provvy license first, i'm such a lazy twunt, I should've been on this by now

[CIH]

Drums can be tricky because they take a certain nack and it's easy to forget and get out of pratice. Once you get use to 'em they're a piece of pish and are more reliable than a rear disc/caliper set-up.

1982 Ford Cortina 2.0 GL Estate

 

Has a locked diff. I'd like to unlock it.

 

1981 Ford Cortina 1.6 L

 

Don't worry, the Sercks are safely inside!

 

1990 Austin Rover Maestro Clubman Diesel

 

£520 reserve not met at time of writing, not doing too badly for a Maestro!

 

1970 Ford Corsair

 

Described as a "rat rod". Yeah whatever man.

 

1982 Austin Metro 1.0

 

Pog wants this.

 

1982 Austin Metro HLE

 

Bust out the wheel silver!

 

1987 Vauxhall Astra 1.3 L "Capital"

 

Check out the frankly absurd dealer special stickers on this bad boy, it'd be great if you could get brand new Astras with wonky pinstripes and colourcoded trims.

 

1986 Volvo 240 GL

 

This looks somewhat down-at-heel for a 240.

[michiel]

Joan? And Raul? Or do I need new glasses?
