Jane you have a PM lol

Might have to take this to PM's LOL

No need to find that, its not that small, not that big either but definitely not that small lol

Yay our very own nurse.. Some times my leg hurts at the top near me nuts. any chance you can have a ganders and give me a diagnostic ? lol:tt2: (well someone had to ask:lol:)

Yeah i know, i was gutted lol

nope had a look, first thing i did was drop speed to 40, then pull in at a Gym and pop the hood, thought it might of been a rad hose popping off, or a belt at first. checked all vacuum hoses, but i have a feeling its a wet maf, when i was under the car today there was a lot of water in the engine cover pouring onto my head :cursing: might go take it off the car and have a check and if necessary use the woman's hair dryer on it lol

Well managed to sort out the power steering leak, and for some reason today when reconnecting the belt for the water pump, i bought it up to temperature and no leaking anywhere, very strange even made sure there was coolant in the rad. So thought id decide to take it down to the local for some go go juice. put £20 in it, and started driving home, took it around the local ring road as i wanted to see if she would hold her temp, went to put my foot down to over take a pug 106, the moment i hit boost, there was a very loud pop and no power? it drives, just no power at higher boost levels, it almost feels as if something is trying to drag the car backwards in spurts is the only way of describing it. like I'm getting serious det issues. Boost leak? or wet MAF as it did rain quite hard yesterday.

had an episode once where i stood up and felt very light headed, and very drunk but sober. kind of hard to explain, only happened twice, but kinda freaks you out though, the other thing I've had happen was getting heart palpitations after too much coffee, had an ambulance out twice for that till we tracked it down to caffeine

First start by opening the bonnet and check the easy things first. locate the Vin plate, and check the color code, next have a look where most people miss with spraying, inside the engine bay its self, see if this matches the rest of the car, although this doesn't necessarily mean its not sprayed as a good respray will include this, other places to check are peal the edges of the rubbers back slightly, your not trying to rip them off, just look for a strong paint line, Open the tailgate, lift the carpet and move the cardboard out of the way, as this rarely gets a respray in here, also check around the edges of the boot opening, for obvious signs of color mismatch as most cant get the top part of the boot where the hinges are, failing that, lift the rear.... never mind you have SWB, basically you want to check inside the car where someone would have to remove panels to respray it, (highly unlikely they would do this, but the whole chassis was sprayed the same color in the factory, so anywhere hidden should show your original color) You can also check by lifting the Targas, and having a look around the edges too see if you get color mismatch, be careful though due to paint fade in the sun on the out side panels. Ideally you want to be matching the Vin plate paint code, with whats showing on your car.

did indeed, have my tube of tiger seal and also my tin of body filer, but to be perfectly honest, not that much needs doing with it. once blended in with the body, ill be masking off around the boot lid and blending the spoiler in with the car. Ok so not very professional, but its only gotta look like it belongs on the car till i can either get it to a body shop, or me and groover set about spraying our cars.

My claim to fame is, playing snooker against peter ebdon as he used to train in our local snooker hall in wellingborough a few times, before he moved to rushden. had a few laughs, i say played against him, but most of the time i stood and watched while he cleared up, or left me in what i considered unrealistic positions, but he is a really down to earth guy and his wife is great too.

if these cars come out looking really good. might suggest we go into business together as resprayers :lol: i know a panel beater as well so could get him in to do any dents (although i find it much easier to just replace the offending part)

Ill have a word with my old boss at yorkward and rowlett, its a vauxhall sales garage but has a repair shop with spray bay, so might even be able to get that, if not ill have a scout around for somewhere that can accommodate us. im sure there are a few farmers who would rent out a barn for a few days for us at a reasonable price.

If you go down that route, let me know how you get on, as i might want to hire your compressor and gun out after. unless you want to bring it up here and we do both cars at the same time lol

annoyingly I've ran out of daylight and its raining, or id of finished off the spraying, stuck the lacquer on it and be fitting it round about nowish. lol

stick to pictures for now please lol if you get too close you lose the effect :D But im really pleased with how the spoiler turned out, its nice and smooth with no runs, just need to tidy up the leading edges of the "wings" I have a sneaky feeling its slightly darker than whats on it, but im not too fussed, the paint looks fantastic considering someone at Halfords made it for me. if it looks as good on the car, i might just rattle can the whole thing lol

that picture is fantastic. such a shame the buildings are gone, always wanted to go see them as well. loved the WTC.

was walking through town in 1992 after school, and see a black one parked outside the local post office, must of been spanking new as the shine was awesome, i remember how sexy the front looked and have always wanted one since then, then last year i got the chance to get one, and I'm now on my 3rd lol

Got my 89spec this morning along with my 99spec front bumper form Car.mad this morning. so thought id go get some spray and have a go at the spoiler, wasn't much prep work to be done on it as the quality is spot on. no bends or twists and very clean already, a testament to the skill in making it. So nipped off down to halfords to see if they had any rattle cans of AH3, well nothing on the shelf so went to there paint department counter and asked if they could mix me up a few rattle cans. having checked the code the dude got to work and made me some 300ml spray cans. with a fan nozzle. anyway, 3 coats of red undercoat and 3 coats of red paint later here are the results. loving the fan nozzles, so much easier to get a nice finish. please note there is no lacquer on it yet as its currently in the living room resting on my NYC picture having a good dry before tomorrow where its getting another 2 coats of spray, and then ill start building up the lacquer layers.

draw up what you want, then approach an architect so he can see if its structurally viable. Planning permission will be the balls ache, and location, if you plan to build in a village for instance, make sure that the out side carries the same theme as the village or you face it getting turned down.

he really thought that through well didn't he lol

My daughter and son. waking up to my spoiler and bumper being delivered at 7:30am so not having to sit in all day waiting for the bugger to turn up. Finding out that my car has magically stopped leaking water regardless of engine temp??? Preparing my rear spoiler for spraying. Oooh forgot, getting my dvd player for the car :D

LOL "INFORMATIONS" Too everyone who thinks he is serious, its a scam, had the same email 2 years ago. Next they will ask you to forward all bank details to Nigeria

love the sarcasm on this thread lol

i was working on the car the other day and a police man who had sat in his car watching the passing traffic from our car park, eventually got out and came over too me, and asked "is it fast?" to which i replied "i wouldn't know officer" lol
