Just been told we are having to take another 11 days off unpaid.
Oh i love work.
It does mean i will get lots of time to spend on the car but no money to spend on it lol.
In the mean time ive just bought a swirl pot and saving up from all my parts sales for a set of avo's.

Ive just got to get on with getting rid of the rest of the grey nova and then strip the rest of stick down.
Not much to do i just need to get me a5re in gear lol.
Bit of an update.
With most of the grey nova gone now and Dougie coming round on saturday to rid it of a few more bits i should be getting on with this soon.
I have spent the last few weeks working on my mates 2ltr xe nova that he bought.
If i ever see the person who did the "CON"version i will strap him to the back of the veccy for a trip down the nearest motorway to make up for the things ive had to sort out on it over the last 3 weeks.
Very long story.
He has paid me for my time tho.
Well as norm i will be working on his car again tomorrow after work.Wile im sorting out his car he is finishing of what sealer is left on the seams (of my car) and cleaning them up.
Fares fare.
No piccys again but i will get some of the nova ive been working so somebody can shed some light on stevie wonders work lol.
The car that has given me nothing but problems.

It's alot better now after 3 weeks sorting stuff E.G bare wires wound around the +battery terminal/no heaters/heater pipes in the boot/hot/cold switch broken/fuse box screwed to the dash/door held on with what looked like part of a spark plug and the best one was that the SPORTS TUNED 4 SPEED GEARBOX that he had only just had fitted was nothing more than (once i had told my mate)a f20 and nobody had removed the plastic lug from the gear stick and now has 5 gears why this shell didnt have a 5 speed setup already is beyond me.
Major fail.
I will get some pic's tomorrow of how it is now with all the above fixed and the bonnet changed back to a white one.
Im sure i will find more probs with the car any imfo would be great.
cheers Me.
I did some more work on this today and running alot better and also has a new bonnet in white.
Back on topic.
Still no real update as not been in the mood this weekend after getting the news about my work.
If you didnt already know i work for the Honda factory in swindon which seams to be on the verge of jumping down a big slide.
All this and just before christmas and the start of my reshell.
If i had known this was on the cards i wouldnt of started it.Im not going to sell up and just give up on it but i may have to take a year out wile getting things sorted.
I will still be on the seen but may have to grab some passenger rides through the year if any body has any free.
Me and the new stick.
Did your mate by any chance get his 2litre nova from purley?
Not sure were that is but it came from reading way i think.

Thats another white one on the block soon.
Hey Chris, finaly found the thread lol!

*EDIT* when its light. lmao.
Its at my g/f's in the garage so plenty of light.Im just waiting to see what happens about my job as i work at the honda factory in swindon.
The main thing im waiting on at the mo is for somebody to do me welding.Dars bro has offered to do it for me but it has to wait at the mo till ive got my funds at the end of the month.
All booked in and ready to have the welding started this weekend with Lee (Dar's bro)
Once this is done it will only take a few days to get all the stuff across from the blue one.
Ive already started stripping it so wont take long now.
I also got this insured the other day with A/F
£225 with everything declared and as a 2ltr 16v Im well chuffed and it will make me get my ar5e ingear so i can take it out for a spin once all done.
How much is Lee, Dar's bro charging you for the welding mate?
Not sure yet Nath but i know he will do a spot on job and i will pm you once its all done to help with the rebuild.Quote:

Happy days...

Why not give him a ring and ask him. He's easy to talk to and straight talking, so you will know what to expect and when etc etc. Now is the perfect time to get some work done since he has a bit of time on his hands.Quote:
