Obv most of you know about how girls are obliged to put their other halves into difficult, no win situations... my usual favourite is asking "but does it make me look fat?"

 

But today I tried something new...

 

I asked, while watching a youtube video of an old Top of the Pops, which his favourite Pans Person was. He said "I'm not sure, but the one in green has really good... ...enthusiasm"

 

Bullet skillfully dodged I think! :lol:

Hmmm. There's a chap in North Wales that I pass very often who has an Oxford and a Minx. Could it be? They're both green. I'll swap his hubcaps for Halfords cheapy specials next time I'm passing!

Haha... looks like they've been nicking the upholstery material to make their own shirts.

Lad posts up three Farinas on a transporter on the FB classic car scrapyard finds page... his profile pic was of a b. race prepped A60 and two of the Farinas in picture he put up looked good. I feared the worst but it turns out he bought them and planned to race two of them but all three are now on the road. :D

Christ that Fiesta 'resto' looks awful! I am on a budget too, time to empty all the cereal boxes out and use that as repair for the nearside rear arch. Also have some Swallows nesting on our roof, better make use of their nest when they are done too.

 

Oh yeah, by the way, I bought a MKII...

Sure thing!

Its a 1989 1.1 L, 67k, registered right at the end of MKII sales, in that red/burgundy shade. Has no MOT or TAX, but is on SORN and it was owned by my best friend before they decided they wanted to sell it, as it was quoted £600 for welding...by a Ford main dealers MOT department apparently.

Having had a look at it, yes there is rust, and there is two areas underneath which are a teeny bit crunchy, but there isn't any holes and it's nothing major. Nearside rear arch, like I mentioned, is rotten in two places, but the first half of the arch is solid, nice one. Boot is fine under the rear window, and the exhaust needs to be mounted properly. That's it. And it cost me scrap value... or a little bit less. And I have storage. And it runs fine. And everything works. I will post photos when I next see it, which will hopefully be Wednesday!

Picked up my ebay bicycle from Teddington today, which involved riding back to Marylebone to get my train home. Was impressed to not be the victim of any road rage or knobbish drivers at all, just getting scorning looks instead from other cyclists for not running red lights :)

 

Saw no end of shite but after the first couple of streets I became too enthused by my new purchase to stop and snap everything I saw.

Winner, nice work!

Are the arches an MOT fail or could you (for now) just gaffa tape them over to get you by? Look forward to the pictures.
