FiL Skoda Fabia failed MoT on thursday.

 

Told him to leave it with me and I will get it retested on Tuesday.

 

Steering gaiter £25 but what a faff to fit. in end #1 son was on the track arm end and I worked blind with a small flat blade through the engine bay to get the inner end fitted. 

 

Ok that might have been a grump 

 

Rear brake binding I am thinking dry slide pillars and a call to BIGGRED but the car is used so little that the pads had rusted into the carrier. knocked em out, wire brushed clean, dob of copper grease and all is well again in brake world.

 

All I need to do now is go over the headlamps with 3000 wet and dry and some autoglym

Much appreciated.

I'll have a decent look at it tomorrow as weather looks pants.

1 thing I know it definitely needs is the drivers door chrome strip that goes between main window and quaterlight

Give me a shout if you need anything I have a reasonably complete one in the yard. It is destined for the oval at some stage. It was traded in on the original scrappage scheme at a Hyundai garage. A fucking Hyundai garage.

At the ACA auction yesterday they were handing out free copies of CCW.  On p.6 there's an article about Bo11's Mazda 929, complete with a photo taken on what looks like SL's driveway.  Autoshite really does get everywhere doesn't it...

Ah, but is the troll aware that he has trolled you?

It's probably somebody I know...

My stepdad is quite taken with the 929 having seen it here in the metal. He ran Mazda B1600s back in the day as well as a whole run of Datsuns bought new.

 

Says he'd pay £10k to have something like that now

Spent the day at Brunty in the rain getting deafened by old jets, it was a fantastic day & the spray made for better pics & videos.

Genuinely shocked at that, at least it will get a decent send off and it's donating parts - are you up for panel swaps if there's any others on here?

Yes not a problem Its at the back of the yard at the moment so I wlll need to move a few cars to get to it. It hasent been lifted by a hiab or moved with a forklift  mainly because its so heavy I am not even sure what model it is but its a 6 cylinder and its manual.

There's a full page on it in the current issue of Retro Japanese magazine...

Had a P4 a few years ago. Loved the look of it and it drove okay. Got my mate to look it over despite having a fresh MOT. Two pages of A4 sized fault list later.......

 

It was ticketed for plate raping and should never have been on the road. Got it sorted ASAP after threatening the MOT place with 'the Ministry'. They sacked the tester and told the seller never to return. 

 

Would still have one.

If I can find the handbook it's yours.

[purplebargeken]

Bugger, sent it to someone on here a long while ago. Just remembered as I typed.

Paid and driven home. IMG_4950.JPG

Oooh, I had forgotten how good it looks. Congratulations again on the purchase.

Live on my works night out. Verdict: hammered.

I was at Duxford last weekend and this was stooging about.

In fact I'd like to live at Duxford, by the runway in a shed, with a supply of cigars, good coffee and a comfortable chair.

Freshly picked mushrooms!

 

 

Looking forward to having these with a rasher of bacon and a fried egg.

Hot steaming mug of strong tea to wash it down with.

It's getting even more tasty

How are you applying such a natural looking coating of patina to cover that nasty shine?

Victory went to his head, he made a half-hearted attempt to shag a Bloodhound bitch. The puppies would have been interesting.

Talking to a guy at the gold cop, he painted this dolomite 15 years ago in his front garden and keeps it outside,

It's lovely

Are you on the Facebook page for Puma owners? They have a few on there who often wave to others, surprisingly for a one model 'forum' and even more surprisingly-er for social media, it's a brilliant.
