garellikatia Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I feel as though a good old roffle isn't complete without a collection thread, so heres the plan!! Whilst Schaefft was sorting the MOT for his replacement car it gave me time to sort insurance (and more importantly a baby sitter haha) were ready for a collection tomorrow !! Got the train booked from Hull and Managed to swap the mini for the Galant on my classic car policy for an extra £80! Not bad at all!!

Schaefft Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Haha was a pleasure to meet you. I wish I had found the time to clean the car but I guess it would look like this once you arrive in Hull anyway? Hope your journey goes well, definitely gonna follow your progress on the car. I completely forgot to take a picture as well.? And thanks for the presents, I feel like I'm turning into a Scott already. 500tops, garellikatia, Bren and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I managed to snag a free set of alloy wheels on the way home. Not the best looking style wise but better than the black trims. Just going to keep on top of it now. Try and sort the idle issue and possibly look at doing the cambelt soon for piece of mind. Hopefully I can help it last another 25 years BL Bloke, Jim Bell, 500tops and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garellikatia Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Home sweet home now. Walked in the door and the wife had ordered Domino's!

sdkrc Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I drove this bad boy on Wednesday. Everything felt sharp. Gear change, switch gear, steering etc. @Schaefft found a total winner with this. Lovely car and I'm very jealous. Hope it makes it's way back to the forum for another roffle.

You 'win' one for a tenner or whatever, and you're quite happy to spend a few quid on it to keep it going, knowing that if you do there'll be plenty of folk ready to buy a ticket next time round.

Schaefft Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Haha excellent, glad you made it home, I started to become worried!? Definitely keep us updated, those few minor things and it'll be perfect! sdkrc, 500tops and garellikatia 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garellikatia Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Absolutely ! Plans are to get the minor things sorted! Replace cambelt so we're not playing cambelt roulette and enjoy it!! But..... When it comes to be sold it will be coming straight back here. Love this forum and the appreciation for absolute gems that would quite often just be left by the wayside! sdkrc, skattrd, Flat4 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garellikatia Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Put on the free alloy wheels. Not the greatest but look better than the badly painted wheel trims jumpingjehovahs, Saabnut and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garellikatia Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Finally managed to get it cleaned up today. Progress is slow as I have a newborn so it's literally tens mins here and there.

garellikatia Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yea too right! Feels very robust for a car of the 90's! Can't wait to have time to give it a full going over and do some preventative maintainance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 A great looking car but the alloys remind me of the S plate one we had. It had 14" alloys that looked like casters - the car looked like a TV stand. stonedagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
