Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends Electric*

I also replaced the boot lock as there was a seal missing. 

 

Old. 

 

 

And new.

 

New one tightened up a lot better.

Bonus action shot.

Then the front fell off. 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Luckily the whole grille is mounted securely with one bolt and the weight of the bonnet so it was easy to reattach, after I added an ABSOLUTE LOSER AA badge. 

 

[Jim Bell]

So what now?

Well. 

It's been like, three weeks?

So probably time to roffle it and pursue another board gem that I've always lusted after. 

Car-pe Diem and all that.

Roffal now live in the for sale section.:

Why do what I consider highly desirable cars come up for roffle when I have no money?

If you're anything like me, it's because the universe hates you.

I noticed @Stanky has buyed me a ticket, I'll take this as he likes me. Thank you Huw!

Afternoon all. As may have been over on the 2Savvy thread, I has been doing another buy;

 

[Jim Bell]

With toosavvy moving on to Suzuki ownership, the opportunity to purchase his Toyota Carina 2 arose. I had seen it at a local meet some time ago and it looked class. 

Without seeing it, or driving it, I paid for it and said I would give Toosavvy a lift down to Yorkshire to collect his replacement. 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

So a plan was planned, and executed with not much precision. 

Picked up early morning today, I got a look at what I had bought. 

 

Now. I know I look physically disabled here, but in truth, I am only mentally disabled.  

[Jim Bell]

And off to York we went. Fully steamed up. 

 

[Jim Bell]

Aye. Trudat. 

 

[Jim Bell]

 

Lovely day for it.  

[Jim Bell]

Once in York, the Swift was in sight so it was time to switch. 

I was given the keys.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Up the road pet, up the road. 

 

 

 

Reassuringly Japanese. 

[Jim Bell]

 

Pez shot. Ron Perrehs northbound.  

[Jim Bell]

 

 

 

 

Plans?

Probably the usual. 

Drive it round a bit then see something else I like more, and release back into the wild via roffle.

2sav is a madman for binning his Carina for a Swift. 

You're a winner for bagging the Carina. It looks lovely.

The Swift honestly did look like the newest old car that money could buy,  but me and you are in agreement. 

[yes oui si]

Fully bamboozled - I thought that Carina IIs were 5x100 but that has four studs... 4x114.3?

Yeah, just did some googling.... I didn't know that the Carina II was a rebadged Corona

[Lacquer Peel]

59 and 11 please

[juular]

This is nice.

Always liked this one, I've already admired it from afar via TooSavy's thread.

You know a car is 'of a certain age' when the manufacturers felt it necessary to SHOUT from the rooftops that it had 16 valves...  How many!? Loving the fact that they actually embossed it on the centre console too just to avoid you potentially forgetting.

16valve dashboard m8. Fastest dash they did.
