Hopefully the car is as good as it looks ! also ask the question is there a service package in place and is it transferrable i just had an oil & filter done free and will be able to get big service done in Feb (18/67 plate civic) omegod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 After quite a bit of back and forth, and the kind offer of assistance from a denizen of Weird Car Twitter, I have bought a complete boot lid for the Lanchester for a mere £20. I only really wanted that smaller trim that covers the lock mechanism. This new lid has less dents (and less paint) than the one on the car so I might end up swapping the whole thing and putting the new wiring into it since it's not a difficult panel to wire up. I'll know better when the boot lid arrives and I can assess what the better option is. Given the state of much of the woodwork on the donor car, the boot lid frame might actually be rotten, I can't tell in the photos.

Hopefully the car is as good as it looks ! Well this is done and dusted, car turned out to be great. I part exed a 59 reg "mystery focus" that I bought as salvage from copart 4 yrs ago, mystery being it was supposedly a cat N but never showed up on the register despite being mangled, all in and fully repaired it cost me £1300, I got £1300 for it today I had quite a wrangle due to the lack of service history on the Qashqai which the salesman understood was an issue so he threw a load of crap in, free MOT's for life, 6 months breakdown, drive away insurance and some other shite, after all the signing of documents it was then over to the "hand over team" who promptly handed me the keys along with............... the bloody service history 🤣 Electric handbrakes can get in the sea Tickman, dome, paulplom and 11 others 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to dread opening up on a Sunday when I worked at Halfords, it was like Shaun of the dead. Years ago I used to work refitting pubs. They were proper building sites. Fences around, the building gutted, safety signs everywhere, builders with power tools etc Several times a day some old git would wade through all of that, into the middle of the pub and express surprise that it wasn't open, even after walking into a shell of a building Popsicle, Rust Collector, w00dy and 8 others 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the farming channels are great and often are small family farms with old equipment that scrape through year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the time MrsDS caught a mole, put it in a empty biscuit tin and drove it up to a nearby woodland, emptied it out of the tin onto the ground and it immediately made a beeline back towards the car so she was try to shoo it in a different direction. Then she noticed people in another car looking at her with utter disbelief. So she promptly tried too hard to appear sane.

Dyslexic Viking Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I looked at one of Norway's biggest news websites just now and there was a news reel with videos and in the news about a grain agreement from Ukraine, they showed a combine working in a field and of all the combines they could have chosen to show, they chose an old East German workhorse a Fortschritt E517 which is still in use. And I don't know how why this made me happy but it did and yes I need help. GrumpiusMaximus, chodweaver, Dave_Q and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
