- cars going into the garage next Friday - providing he can shift a car hes currently working on...
Nice one mate.
I think this is my favourite post of all time.
Sorta good news about your missus.
Hmmm car or sex?
Its a hard one!
HOORAY!!!
The nova got towed to the garage tonight!
What a laugh - my areas quite quiet - the mechanic only had a metal tow rope and all I had was my handbrake (no engine in car).
Got to the main road junction and as he pulled away the tow eye ripped off!
PMSL!
Of course there was some MUPPET WOMAN (no offence to NL ladies!) who happened to be turning and she beeped her feckin horn at me because I was blocking the entrance (parked cars on her side!). So I got out and said - what you BLIND - I'm on tow (or was) and theres no engine in me car - cant you see the gaping hole (there was no bonnet)!
WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO PEDAL!!!
managed to attach the metal rope to the old lower valance (which is getting removed) and drig it down to the garage.
I also asked him to give it the once over to see if owt needs welding underneath - kind of scared what he'll find now!
oops.
Should get it back next week. Just glad he's got it!
About time mate.. just kidding.
It's nice when you get things rolling (excuse the pun)
Hope it doesnt need too much plating.
yeah, Ade's on a roll (so to speak??
took delievery of the final key to the jigsaw today - a 2nd hand mk2 punto bonnet! has a few dents so perfect for chopping up
The plan is to cut the front section off from the light brows and weld onto my nova bonnet.
It's actually wider than my bonnet so not only do I need to cut it across ways but I need to cut a section out the middle.
Cant wait to get the nova baxck from the garage - just hope he doesnt find any scarey holes underneath!
Nice, so the bonnet will be the next thing then.
Ade - I think you should give up your job so that you can work on this. You know it makes sense.
^^ Doubt it, Ade seems to make everday last 48 hours! Dont know about 24!
pmsl!
going to the garage tomorrow - should have got ity back by now but I have a feeling hes not even started it yet!
He's not called to advise of any scarey holes or owt so that s good news I suppose.
Plan is to get it back and start work on making the Punto light housings. Once theyre in place I can start on modding the wings then the bonnet.
Then its simplay a case of working back from there.
Ive a fair bit to do to the seams (need to reseal the lot) as well as strip it right back to nowt and clean all the rust off it ready for painting. Going to be a long job but the wifes just been told she's working away for 6 months which means I'll be able to stay in the garage till late without getting shouted at!
