Thought it worth sharing for some light entertainment at my expense...

 

After telling the step lad to be careful with football, I then manage to kick the ball ( as I slipped...honest!) from about 15 yards away from the car and it hits the wing mirror in the exact right spot to snap it off! clean break on the metal mount! It was a size 3 as well :wacko: Child in background laughing uncontrollably at the irony of this.

 

I then trawl ebay for a suitable replacement, knowing that I will have to get it sprayed to match the non standard metallic black. A medicinal ale or two later and having calmed down, I realise that the it's just the metal bit that pivots the mirror that's snapped, the case is in good order! Eureka moment..I just need the internals and can rebuild it! A few more ales later, I find a fairly knackered looking red one with scuffed case and cracks.. still overpriced at the best part of £40 but the internals are what I need. Click...done. More ale.

 

Wing mirror arrives few days later... I strip both, rebuild it and add back to the car this morning. Pat myself on back for a job well done. Fueled by this success and a San Miguel, I log back on to 300zx. co.uk after an absence, renew membership, spots a member in need of part I think I have.... feeling good I can help, I log on to photobucket to get picture of the part.... sees photo of two black electric wing mirrors... remembers they are in they are in the garage just in case they are needed :blushing:

Lol and I have parts that I have forgotten about.

Depends on what car its on, is it electric, does it all need replaced or just the shell or the glass. Anything from five minutes to half an hour to fix or from nothing to hundreds of pounds. Visit this site for more info.

haha, that's exactly the sort of thing i would do.

i have a shed and garage with various bike and car parts which i have either forgotten whats in there, or will be too much hassle to dig out, so end up getting another...

looking a little spammy there matey, but i am sure an intro post or your next post being a little more related to the content will support the benefit of the doubt we will extend you this time... ;)

Spammer for sure :gunsmilie:

Craig, glad I am not the only one! Pretty much the same with tools as well :blush:

I’m sure some of these guys forget they have a 300zx in the garage somewhere and go and buy another one!

I’ve had loads of dreams like this involving 300zx and S1 RS Turbos.
