Father In Law's Facebook bargains and what he 'barried' next!

[Matty]

Quoted for recursion!

Embarrassingly I just had to look up the definition of recursion. Now I see what I did!

[stuboy]

. Now I see what I did!

you made a recursive procedure of a definition.

[Matty]

Did I do it again?

Well it was more about what I did, because I wanted to say exactly the same to you but instead quoted your post saying it back at you

He is a nice bloke and very helpful with most things but everything he touches is left with the same type of work quality seen in my pics.

I am not looking forward to driving this to see if it overheats.

 

Was the southern most bolt tightened with a drill?

[louiepj]

I think he is coming round Friday to sort out the family pre-christmas get together on sunday and for me to stare at his bodged turbo plumbing as he has fault codes for lean running and misfire etc. So there's hope yet of more barrying.

How else but with butter soft alloy bolts would you hold something as important as steering wheel on?

[Rod/b]

Can’t believe I haven’t seen this thread until now. Needs a snappier title - Louie’s GIMP MY RIDE or something

[Tenmil Socket]

Out of curiosity... is there any 'mods' the FIL doesn't like or thinks are 'naff'?

[loserone]

That cavcraft is a bit shifty, he's always making shitty jokes.

 

 

Oh.

[louiepj]

Sorry I have had a busy few days trying not to die of manflu-bola but have seen the FiL today....

And in a conversation with me he confirmed that he has stuck those speakers over the front airbag curtains!! But come January he will be redoing all the stereo install. So it could get worse than it is, such as the door wiring loom.

 

[louiepj]

Boot install yo!! minus the amp's he just moved/hidden.

 

[iainrcz]

Hmm beaut.

Wow! Crazy ICE install there!

[louiepj]

Rear door card speaker install recently achieved to what some might not call 'concours' condition.

I’d be more worried about that radiator in the back seat...or is he planning to put an intercooler inside the car so he can cool it with the air con on full chat?

[louiepj]

And a photo of the rear spoiler after the car wash power washer clean. Took the new blue paint off and the original paint and etched/engraved patternsfrom the water jet onto the spoiler.

Which is why he is going to get it repainted in red.

Yeah red because red is fast yo.

This is the thread that keeps on giving. ... 

[JimH]

I assume he doesn't have too many rear seat passengers who might want to wind the window down.

 

Out of interest, what sort of music does he enjoy?

[Bren]

We are all laughing but if vauxhall go tits up this car could be worth £££££.

[Rave]

Another newbie to this thread- I've just spent the last half hour laughing like a drain, thanks!

Exactly what I was going to ask. Very much hoping it's Happy Hardcore TBH

How old is he again?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Jesus Christ.

 

Any pictures of the inside of his house?

[louiepj]

I think he loves a bit of drum and bass etc but has a memory stick full of random music in there at the moment that was playing Mamma f**kin Mia 2 soundtrack earlier.

Age wise he is early fifties but mentally in some ways I think he peaked at 14 years old.

[John F]

I've only just seen this thread.

 

Wow.

 

What does he do for a living?

[louiepj]

Jesus Christ.

He did once fit his own kitchen in the house.... He meant well but it was shockingly done and me and a friend went down to help/rescue it and we must have seemed so rude at the time as we couldn't stop laughing at how badly it was done. Even the carcasses were assembled wrong or in the wrong place, a worktop was cut in half and all were not quite level. (he cut it in half to make it easier to level).

Then there was the holes in the work top on the side he installed first, drill holes because he used the brand new work top as a workbench and accidentally drilled through it like 6 times.

And don't even get me started on the fish tank he was once given.....

[louiepj]

Someone gives you a 6ft (at least) fishtank with heaters and filter system and accessories but no base for it, me I would have sold it immediately as its massive and a lot of hassle to set up. FiL looks at the fish tank then looks at walls either side of chimney in the lounge then back at the tank and sees that it will fit easily so off he goes to buy wood to make a frame.

He built a solid frame and base for the tank and decided to frame out the whole side of the wall floor to ceiling to the same width as the chimney and finish it with that cheap pinewood panelling. He sealed in below the fish tank while building it so it had to be all unscrewed as a large heavy panel and put the wonkiest cupboard doors ever built above the tank.

Tank in filled with water then realises he hadn't drilled access hole for power and water pipes so strips lower panels out and puts them in and while he is doing this he adds led lights to back light the tank and really make the tank a feature.

Skip to tank all set up and fishes in and happy, well untill he turns on all the led's he fitted that are unbelievably bright and some are green and some are blue. Then they freak out so he doesn't use them.

[HH-R]

Best thread ever! *Subscribes*

[louiepj]

With everything up and running the heaters would sometimes draw higher amp's and trip the fuse box circuit breaker.

Not a problem to reset a circuit breaker these days is it..... Unless you build a fishtank base frame and some wood panelling in front of it.

Yes he built it on the side of the chimney wall with the fuse box on!!

Fish tank started leaking after about 6 month onto fuse box and tripping everything. Fuse box rewired and some flooring replaced and tank resealed and all was well for a few years till he got bored and ripped it all out and sold it.
