Lauren

Ok, I feel a bit cheeky asking for this, but basically I have the parts for my Nova but I'm too much of a woman to know how to fit them.
So... is anyone able to give me a hand? I can offer a few quid for your troubles. Plus petrol money. And I make a wicked cup of tea.
Anyone??? Please??? :(

Dod
24-09-08, 10:33 PM
How much damage is done to the car? You got pics of it?

Jack
24-09-08, 10:34 PM
^ LMFAO

what parts? That might be a good start....

Lauren
24-09-08, 10:47 PM
I will post up pics in a sec but my comuter is being gay. It needs a window replacing, a new bumper, wing and headlight fitted and the bonnet straightened. Maybe some dents knocked out of the door as well.

24-09-08, 10:49 PM
dont think that you will be able to get it perfect if the bonnet is dented and the door is, do yuo want it to be perfect or dont you really mind if theres a few dents in

You would need to include at least 2 different types of biscuit, & not those Supermarket Own Brand things that look about right, but are 3/4 the size & taste of chalk

I hate gay comuters always falling asleep on your lap especially if there the same sex as you.

Will fit parts for sexual favours!

It looks simple I know but I really don't have a clue where to start... :confused: :(

Stoo
25-09-08, 09:11 AM
Hmmmm
Your only 65 miles from me
Fancy a punch in the face too?

Stuart
25-09-08, 09:14 AM
aslong asyou dont want paint putting on the wing. I might be able to assist, although my time is velly limited at weekends etc. Is it driveable?

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:15 AM
For a punch in the face I will crack out my best biscuits!

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:18 AM
aslong asyou dont want paint putting on the wing. I might be able to assist, although my time is velly limited at weekends etc. Is it driveable?

No I don't want it painted.
It is driveable yes, the engine is in perfect condition, but it has no tax, no mot and no insurance, and it's more than likely gonna be on the police register. So I wouldn't advise it lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 09:19 AM
What biscuits?

I wont settle for anything less than maryland cookies, at least three packs, and some bourbons too
And a few good cups of strong coffee!!

And of course the obigotary box of tabs!

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:22 AM
I've already said I have maryland cookies and mcvities digestives. I'm sure I can stretch to some bourbons too! And what is a box of tabs??

Stoo
25-09-08, 09:29 AM
20 B&H Silver

Petrol Money?

Prey
25-09-08, 09:34 AM
All this talk of biscuits has got me interested - but 150 miles each way is prob a bit excessive - otherwise I would!

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:42 AM
20 B&H Silver

Petrol Money?

Deal! How much will petrol be?

Stuart
25-09-08, 09:44 AM
allegedly 30 miles away :D

how urgent is the work? I'm not really going to have much time till mid November....

Maybe its time for another PNG carparty with some friendly essex lot helping Miss Lauren out. Its only about 2 hours work max by the look of it

Stoo
25-09-08, 09:53 AM
£20 tops
Earliest i can make it would be this sunday, other than that, im away next weekend, so the weekend after

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:56 AM
Yeah, you can all come and we can make a night of it. I'm not paying for all your petrol though lol

Lauren
25-09-08, 09:59 AM
£20 tops
Earliest i can make it would be this sunday, other than that, im away next weekend, so the weekend after

£20? Sounds good to me. I can't really do this sunday, so it would have to be the weekend after next.

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:04 AM
Sweet.

Its a date ;)

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:10 AM
Woooo!!! Thank you Stoo!

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:13 AM
Now, is your mum and sister gonna be there too??

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:14 AM
Stoo, I don't have a sister. And my mum lives in Northampton. And no, I don't have a tent. lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:15 AM
So its just me and you then??

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:16 AM
Uh oh, where is this heading Stoo? lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:17 AM
Straight to the gutter!!! Haha

Jokes. Your safe.

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:19 AM
What, so you're not gonna punch me in the face after all? :(

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:27 AM
If your REALLY lucky i may spit in your face

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:31 AM
lol Stoo you really are a true gent

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:32 AM
Yeh well, what can i say.

Ever the chivalrous chap.

Youll find out soon.

Are you actually gonna get your hands dirty and learn, or stand there looking pretty and watch?
Or even worse, sit inside with Mr.Lauren01

loggyboy
25-09-08, 10:50 AM
so its all off for a mass gang bang then?

brainsnova
25-09-08, 10:51 AM
if the bonnets damaged that will be a good place to start the gang bang

Lauren
25-09-08, 10:53 AM
Well, Mr Lauren may not be there, depends if you come on a Saturday or Sunday. I'm all up for learning, as long as I don't break a nail lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 10:56 AM
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!

brainsnova
25-09-08, 10:56 AM
your best to get pictures of you fixing it to show you learned.

Lauren
25-09-08, 11:00 AM
^ lol Nice try.

Stuart
25-09-08, 11:02 AM
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!

you could always pop up the M11 and have some ghey lurve with me....

Stoo
25-09-08, 11:04 AM
haha a stu andwhich?

Lauren
25-09-08, 11:04 AM
Dammit, so there is a MR haha!

I've mentioned him a few times before!

Stoo
25-09-08, 11:07 AM
I dont pay that much attention, i just see women as punchbags to be honest

Lauren
25-09-08, 11:07 AM
Errr... does anyone else fancy replacing Stoo here? I'll pay double! lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 11:09 AM
hahahaha, ill take double if your paying it!

this is stus alter ego by the way

Lauren
25-09-08, 11:19 AM
Haha, you said £20, can't go back on that now! :p
Are you gonna need any tools? Cos I don't really have any.

Stoo
25-09-08, 11:21 AM
Ive got tools for the job ;)

Breeny
25-09-08, 11:39 AM
An essex girl is in need.... sort it out Stoobert!

Stoo
25-09-08, 12:02 PM
Oh i will mate

Just seen the pics, couldnt at work
Have you checked to see if the slam panel is bent? any damage to the rad etc?

shouldnt be a big job

never done a window though, but hey ho, every challenge welcomed.

bonnet looks ****ed mind!

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:07 PM
Er... slam panel? Rad is fine, there isn't any engine damage at all from what I can see.
Uh oh, do you reckon the bonnet will need to be replaced?

Stoo
25-09-08, 12:09 PM
id say so unfortunately

slam panel is the bits the lights bolt to

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:19 PM
Aaaahh, razorjack was asking me that question last night, I don't know, I'l have a look a bit later.
I haven't got a new bonnet... :(

Paul
25-09-08, 12:45 PM
Im not too far either if Stooo bails out let us know.

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:46 PM
You could both help! :D

Stoo
25-09-08, 12:48 PM
Tag team paul??

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:52 PM
You sickos. *sniggers*

brainsnova
25-09-08, 12:52 PM
im mising out on the action. *******

Stoo
25-09-08, 12:54 PM
You sickos. *sniggers*

Ill take that snigger as devious coyness, meaning youd love us to play poker on your back whilst making you airtight

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:56 PM
Stoo! You are making me cringe!

brainsnova
25-09-08, 12:58 PM
i think your safer buying a 10mm + 13mm spanner or socket a starey screwdriver and smal flat screwdriver and do it yourself. Oh and a hammer if your not changing the bonnet. :D

Lauren
25-09-08, 12:58 PM
Urrgghh you lot are so crude! lol

Jack
25-09-08, 01:04 PM
Razorjack was asking you about the clips under the headlights :p

I'd hedge my bets on the slam panel being bent judging by the damage. Thats going to need some pulling out first at least. I think thats going to be a harder job than it looks tbh.

Stoo
25-09-08, 01:04 PM
thats what im thinking jack

Lauren
25-09-08, 01:32 PM
You not up for the challenge? :(

Stoo
25-09-08, 01:39 PM
yeah course, but damage may be worse than first thought

Jack
25-09-08, 01:46 PM
I'll bring the sledgehammer. That will fix anything.

xe Dan
25-09-08, 02:19 PM
just take a rope and find a nice tree and use reverse lot less energy involved and i think ive got a badboyed bonnet you can have for a tenner

Dod
25-09-08, 02:44 PM
TBH, if you have the lot pulled reasonaby straight the bumper should cover most of the damage and as long as it all bolts on reasonably well, you're alright. It'd be worth investing in some stone chip to cover the parts that have had cracked and flaked paint behind the bumper to prevent rust.

Stoo, the window should be easy done, door card off, loosen the first 10mm bolt for the window runner/divider, 2 screws at the top and push it forward. Remove the ****ed item, and insert the new item.

I wonder if I needed help and put up a post, would I get as much attention? :D

Jack
25-09-08, 02:52 PM
Depends, if it was car help, not much. If you wanted "servicing" yourself, then yeah, loads of replies lol

Dod
25-09-08, 03:02 PM
lol lol lol lol lol

Thats what I'm worried about.

Lauren
25-09-08, 03:40 PM
No you wouldn't, because I am a helpless female in distress and you most certainly are not.

C14se
25-09-08, 03:48 PM
iam only about 15/20mins away lol i come and give a hand up to you let me no ya

25-09-08, 04:22 PM
I think this is turning into a massive PNG Gang bang, Are you going to fold the seats down?

Seriously though, if all else fails i suppose i could come too, but im not in for the gang bang

Paul
25-09-08, 04:34 PM
but im not in for the gang bang

25-09-08, 04:39 PM
Paul did u still want a nova shell because you wanted me sri shell and me and me mate have got a gsi we got to break

Jack
25-09-08, 04:40 PM
lol

http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k362/lemmon706/PICT0120.jpg

This pic worries me, its like the panel under the headlamp is bent. I'm thinking of the front panel has taken a hit the tracking could be out too, bent tie rod etc...

Lauren
25-09-08, 04:46 PM
If Stoo gets to mine and tells me i'll have to scrap it i'll cry...

C14se
25-09-08, 04:47 PM
lol
i wod cry that mean 1 more nova off the road for good

Jack
25-09-08, 04:47 PM
shouldn't need to, it can be fixed, its just how much work is required to fix it. lol

Dod
25-09-08, 04:48 PM
lol

True but as long as you can fix the headlight and wing positions, **** it. The rest'll be hidden behind the bumper so It wont matter.

Paul
25-09-08, 04:49 PM
nah thanks mate bought myself a gsi last night!

Lauren
25-09-08, 04:49 PM
If it's something Stoo can't do it wouldn't be worth my while to take it to a dealership to be fixed. I've already spent £130 on parts, the car isn't worth much.

Dod
25-09-08, 04:54 PM
If its fooked, its scrap time I'm afraid. But at least then you can buy a 3dr.

Anyway, theres a few folks looking for parts from 4drs as well so it'll be a few pound made back.

C14se
25-09-08, 04:56 PM
that would be a good think getting a 3dr

Jack
25-09-08, 05:02 PM
2drs are where its at

Andy_L
25-09-08, 05:04 PM
Lauren if it is scrap I'm interested in all the doors, front wings and boot.

Let me know.

Would be a shame though as it looks quite tidy

Wouldnt take it to a dealership IMO. You have spent £130 on parts they will charge you probably 3 times that to fix it :eek: . Should be an easyish fix, the headlight panel may need some persuasion with a magic knocking stick :thumb:

If you do have to break it, the vultures are circling, lol

C14se
25-09-08, 05:07 PM
magic knocking stick

lol

It is, done £50,000 miles and engine has never had anything wrong with it. It was owned by my aunt whos other half used to work for vauxhall so it was serviced every week. So it would be a shame.

I have to point out, you say you want the wings, have you actually looked at the pic? lol
Also, one door is a little bent where my boyfriend punched it.

Jack
25-09-08, 05:11 PM

Thats some expensive miles lol

I hope you bitch slapped him for that.

I'll let you keep that wing I want the passenger one and the new one ;)

Lauren

lol Well no at the time I was more worried that he would go to prison for crashing it into someone while driving with no license and insurance:wtf:

Lauren
25-09-08, 05:19 PM
Don't edit my post! lol

Jack
25-09-08, 05:20 PM
lmfao tut tut, no license and insurance AND crashing into someone... :mad:

25-09-08, 05:25 PM

what a guy lol

Lauren

Tell him off not me! lol

Stoo
25-09-08, 05:31 PM
looking at the pic of that wing again too

the inner wing where the outer bolts looks like it may be bent

we shall have to see

Lee
25-09-08, 05:40 PM

Stoo will have when he arrives :)

Think you might have more on your hands than you first thought. Yes, I'm talking about the Nova.

Looking at the external damage to that car I think it could be a lot worse than everyone is hoping for. Even if you repair the cosmetic damage, there could still be some pretty serious damage relating to the geometry which will ultimately make this car unsafe to drive.

Lauren
26-09-08, 08:59 AM
:(
I have a slight fondness for this car due to it being my first, so I really hope not.

DaveyLC

Get your bloke to pay for a new car or fix this one

Dod
26-09-08, 09:52 AM
Look, theres no point on satrting on the what if's until the damage has been assessed and a decision weather its repairable has been made or not.

Lauren, its your first car, and I undersatnd the centimental Value it holds. But you also need to remember, there are bigger and better cars out there and you cant keep it forever anyway.

AlexW
26-09-08, 09:56 AM
If you dont want to spend the money on it for the front panel i would be intersted in the whole car.

Lauren

I know, but for a first car it's perfect. Or was, anyway. Plus, it was a present.

AW06, how much will you give me for it? :D

AlexW
26-09-08, 10:35 AM
A good hard fcuking.... Depends how much you want.

Lauren
26-09-08, 10:38 AM
I doubt you would satisfy me lol

What do I want for it? I'd like 10 grand, but I'm not gonna get that, so it's only worth what someone offers?

brainsnova
26-09-08, 10:41 AM
£100 and a dip lol

AlexW
26-09-08, 10:41 AM
Lmao X 2......... If you want 10 grand you better put it up on pistonheads lol

Anyways, tell me more info about it.

Lauren
26-09-08, 10:54 AM
Umm... what do you want to know?

It's a 1.2i mk2 K reg
51,000 miles
Full service History
Engine seems to be in perfect condition - just replaced the battery too.
It has an immobiliser
I have some parts for it as well; a headlight, a front wing, a bumper and the window.

BUT:
It has no tax
no MOT
no insurance

just read 14 sodding pages and i can conclude the following.

lauren01 never gets her fun bags out, but will offer some chocolate nibbles.

cambridge is still a gay mincer

stoo is a horny pecker

paul likes gang bangs

and after all that.

the car still aint fixed!

Jack
15-10-08, 10:02 AM
Still broken I believe.

Spudly
15-10-08, 10:03 AM
So im guessing stoo went round to fix it and ended up doing some panel beating work on lauren and not her nova then lol

Jack
15-10-08, 10:12 AM
LMFAO no, I think stoo couldn't make it in the end.

I would have but tis a long way for me. I'm wooing a possible future Mrs RJ this saturday so can't do that either lol

Spudly

Scrap it. Nearly four weeks since your first post. You cant be that bothered about getting it fixed. There must be someone local who can do the work?!

surely you know someone who can handle a screwdriver - its not that hard to fix the work that needs doing (except the dents but dents/rust add characterlol)

Stoo was going to help, but hasn't been able to.

I'll make an effort then lol. Not saying I can do it, as it does look quite bent, but still...

Would seem the obvious person to fix it IMO. Or at least the one to arrange the repairs!

things like this are too simple to ask others to fix your own problems.

he'll atleast show a little more respect to the vehicle if he fixes it himself.
if he doesn't, he wont care and do it again.
