Hi all, you may have seen my thread about losing faith in MYA and debating the scrapyard. I have discussed the jobs with ozonehostile (Zac) and my car is booked in with him on the 05/04/14.
The jobs to do : -
- Cambelt/waterpump/tensioner/bosch conversion
- replace a pair of p-bushes - berlingo ones
- check the front brakes as they vibrate, checked and the discs had small runout, so will also check caliper runners to see if they are sticking/requires regreasing.
- change a pair of front wings
- change the side skirts
- weld up the 5dr rust hole on the rear passenger arch/pillar - can you speak to your mate andf get a price etc?
- fit twin optic stalk - hopefully getting one from Dumdum via the cheddar meet
- maybe other small jobs
If Zac and myself would really appreciate some spare pairs of hands to get the multiple jobs done, i could offer treats but i'm not sure what people would like?
With the above jobs done i will be back to loving MYA and not contemplating scraping her
List of willing hands: -
Devils_fuel
ozonehostile
Meet details: -
Location - Hereford - i will let zac post or PM these
Time - TBC but early as poss
For those looking, a rough postcode to work off is HR2 9AS

Many many things lol. Probably only a couple of days work tbh but just can't be bothered at the moment :-\
Im probably going too be castrated by the GF but you know im always willing so count me in**

Haha definitely this.
Hopefully beat the previous record of 8 pugs outside my unit at once :-D
Date dependent, i may be able to do this. Have a welder too, so can fix the rust for free.
I wont be able to make the 5th, don't finish work till 4pm. Might give you a call and if its looking like a late one I'll pop by.
I'm hoping to get my gti6 on the road this week, so it could be a good run out for it.
I'm as useless as a chocolate fire guard! But I can make mean cups of teas!
I'm also good at passing tools!

Thanks fella, tell the g/f it's MYA's fault...actually tell her it's my fault, she may think you are cheating on her

Best to ring them with your reg, Should be spot on then
Matt they say all the parts fit my car lol but the parts are very different

Lol! /eyesfail.
Ok that should be fine, I can almost certainly bring some suitable scrap metal too. Might be worth finding someone else to do the shaping if you want it to look pretty though lol.

Ha ha hard day at work?
It's the inside of the pillar where the upper seat belt bolts to the car, so it's hidden by the interior plastics - the common inner arch 5dr rot
I have a full plastic arch liner to fit
Do you have a small amount of under seal to seal it, by any chance?
200 miles each way for me, bit far i think

That's a nice run in the 205
If I get the Merc and haven't had a chance at a long run in it I might cruise down with my hammer collection
170 miles each way for me. Bit much otherwise id be on a nice 306 OC meet!
Only a 4hr drive each way for me, much as I'm all for lending a hand, that's a touch too far for my shed of a motor!
Mate i get bored driving from mine to exeter, which is one hour if that lol.
