Bear's bangers: bearing up, but it's just another brick in the hall...

[Bear]

What's involved in making the best of a dishonest eBayer's crap?

A lot.

I couldn't refit that seat back - it's disgustingly rusted - so I've stripped the cover to wash, and dismantled all the plastics and things to effectively retrim the original seat frame.

Really can't believe this guy got the seats from the car he's breaking and just decided to keep the money and sell them instead of saying they were no good.

Aaaaaaaargh

Fucking washing machine mystery mishap.

I

am sick

of this car's interior.

Fetch me a lumphammer and an angle grinder.

[Bear]

(Whether I use them on the car or the person that sold me the interior is undecided but I am Very Angry and need to break something now).

[Bear]

That will have to do.

Not helped by another facebook messer with "can't you do it cheaper the clutch will cost to replace" "It is already £500 cheaper than similar examples, exactly how much cheaper did you want".

£350.

If that roffle doesn't sell, I an seriously just going to wreck this car. It has been such a distraction and thing that I cannot ignore or defocus from.

[Bear]

Seriously, replacing four seat covers base and back, rebuilding frames, everything involved. Ugh.

[Bear]

Shit! A Volvo crashed into my house!

I mean, I just get confused because I put my old carpet in the garage...

Time to do the front wheelbearings.

I had to evict the Boxster which gave me a shove to finish waxing it.

And finally vacuum the boot

It is such a nice shape

And that interior

Does make quite a difference.

But do I need two low black '90s sportscars?

Still. I wish the Apple IIgs would sell, because I don't want to sell this just to pay bills 😭

And where is that coolant leak hiding? WTF was the car up to! I am almost wondering if I spilled washer fluid and it just took a while to make it down to the front,  but I have topped up about 700ml of distilled water.

Long strut

Streeeeetch

P2 Volvo owner trigger warning

Meaty

I'm going to have to get the driveshaft out aren't I...

[Bear]

I still think the Porsche needs the 666 plate. Not sure about A4 on the Insight though.

Volvo certainly likes marking where it sits.

Which is currently the garage since I need A Tool to deal with the wheelbearings.
