Toms306s "Bit Of A 'State"

[Toms306]

See what I did there?

So yeah, most of you know I've borrowed this from SRowell for a while - and heres a quick pic of it with like 3+ months of dirt lol -



First thing was to get rid of those awful swallows with non-shiny wheel bolts, plastic caps and the dreaded 'pin type' lockers! So it got 'cloned and with my chrome bolts and better lockers -

Before -



During -



And after.....FFS! -



Nevermind, with the huge boot I just chucked the 'clone in there and put the swallow back on to drive to Town.



Pumped it up and fitted it at sainsburys lol, got some funny looks but meh!

While I was there I did this -



Yup, brimmed the tank from the redlight -20 miles - still only 55 litres, no idea how people get over 60 in, they must live in the red light for days lol. But anyway, £80! I hope it lasts a while!


Whilst under the car, did notice some issues, firstly, I cut the boot on the intermediate bearing, bollocks, not sure if theres an easy way to replace it without removing the whole shaft or not, might just wait till MOT and get the garage to do it, I hate changing boots lol. Second, theres several bent metal parts around the front so its had a bump at some point, nothing structural as far as I'm aware but obviously not ideal. And also this - is that bodged or OEM?? Looks crap either way lol!




Today I'm gonna get the code reader on there....so go on, place your bets on what the EML is on for!

Cheers
Tom
