... but I've made lots of progress!! The 205 has been treated to a £40 relay which seems to have fixed the glow plug problem so it now starts properly. I finished stripping the Nova today - a guy came to pick up the engine this evening and the remaining useful bits got rammed into the 205 to bring home and stick on ebay. Shell is being removed tomorrow - I think it's going banger racing! Also today the Rover got a new damper and track control arm on the nearside. Hopefully the offside will be done sometime this week, then 2 new tyres and she can be MoT'd so I can start driving her! Plus yesterday I changed the rear damper bushes on the Volvo as they were persihed, and also did a bit of tidying. Just got the front tie bar bushes to change and it'll be ready for it's MoT too. And then it can be sold! Pheeew! |
Looking at comfier stuff now, off to test drive a Leon Cupra R 225 later in
the week, and hopefully a 147 GTA if I can find one close enough...

periodically destroys bits of itself or Conor, or someone working on it.
That's why he calls it Christine.

Cheaper and simpler maybe, but I do actually enjoy spannering, just not
on anything I have to use to earn a living.

Well he has spent about a million pounds having it done up, and it periodically destroys bits of itself or Conor, or someone working on it. That's why he calls it Christine.

As for the 205 - I've spent about £200 in total and my girlfriend now has a
car that does 50+mpg with a years MoT and 6 months tax. Not a bad deal IMHO

Ah c'mon Conor, WTF do you know about that ? I have one decent car. It started as a shed but I kept going with it |
sheds then finding out they're worth scrap and breaking them, never
actually finishing one.
