Now that sounded like a planned weekend that worked (tell them the rest of it

good decision dude.

 

Splendid weekend (apart from the headbutted girl).

Perhaps you should run tours!

Glad you're keeping the car- something will turn up

 

good job that man! Well done for choosing to keep it!

 

Those inch thick mattresses are a right bugger!!

Nearly knocked myself out last time I layed my head on one of those. As you said, free breakfast though

 

OK Now that I've sorted my head out I'm going to get the car to a point where I really can do no more on it.

After seeing Duncan's bonnet scoop on his car I decided to have a go myself. So tonight I set to it. Fortunately the girlfriend works for one of the one of the UK's largest engineering firms. So she had a friendly word with the old boy that runs the stores and he managed to get me some ali sheet that was set for the scrap man. I couldnt believe it when he came back with a sheet that was 6ft by 4ft I got him to chop it into bits small enough toto get into the back of the golf but big enough to do pretty much anything with. He also said there's plenty more there if I want it too

I also got about 12 ft of steel bar for any brackets that I may need to knock up.
Not only that but he lent me a transformer and a load of cutting tools so happy days!!

Anyway here's my first attempt its still a work in progress but I'm quite pleased so far









Will hopefully get the rest of it done tomorrow evening.

 

good work daz and lucky bugger not every day you get that much for free and the use of the tools can't be bad

 

You could send some ali my way :P

 

Glad you decided to see this through till the end, keep up the good work

 

Great news!!!

 

I tried and failed

Although it was a valiant attempt considering all I had was basic cutting tools and no folding machine I didn't think it was too bad. However up close the folds aren't straight and to be honest it looks a bit of a homemade ****up which of course is exactly what it is. I think I'll just bite the bullet and buy the RCM one although I'm gutted as I would have had Tim's off him straight away if I'd have seen it in time!!

Anyway here's a picture of my very poor effort I couldn't even be bothered to bolt it on properly as I'd already made my mind up that its going in the bin!!

 

not a bad effort

LMAO at least your honest




On another note I'm more than sure the guys would love to hear about your latest unpleasant event ? PMSL

 

What having to listen to you rattle on about which car cleaning product is best?

 

it will probably look a lot better with another vent in there Daz...worth a go?

 

It is going to have something else in there. Just thought I'd have a go after seeing duncans.

 

add another slot, paint it black, get Duncan to sign it and see if you can flog it on e-bay as TA memorabilia

 

Decided to whip the engine out this morning in order to fit this

 

pro bonnet prop

 

Nice work Daz

 

Nice to see your back on track daz. Will be contacting. Soon with what bits I've got ready for you to do the build for me. Jim

 

Still a work in progress and needs tidying up but I've finally decided on where and how my oil cooler is to be mounted. I've been and bought a big meaty vice today so I can make some brackets and stuff. Quite happy with the result.

It will all look nicer once ive tidied it all up but so far so good.

 

thats works well, u still going for reverse scoop vent

 

Not now no

 

scoop is staying now i take it...................

 

Indeed it is.

 

how much have you got left to do daz, glad your keeping the car now cant wait till you get it running, im guessing your going to take to events like TOTB and stuff like that

 

I'm hoping to run it at Scooby shoot out in October

 

Spotted a similar thread on 22b, how do you have time to work on the car fella

TX.

 

Simple, I got made redundant a couple of months ago.

 

I hope OC is paying you well
