well went up to my old unit to collect the rest of my sruff last night, chris was awesome, hes agreed to do the work i cant do, he has a few other projects on the go atm but if i can do as much as i can it shouldnt take much for him to finish the rest of it.
car is not on its way back, will...
im just going to crack on this weekend, n hopefully make some decent progress, if i just concentrate on the interior it will at least look less of a shell, if i can get the roof lining, carpet, seatbelts, rear bench and front seats in then its not a massive job from there... i think its just...
i have a new seal as the old one was cut out, just going to lube it up big time. wish me luck lol
im not angry with them, they havnt crahed me for the sortorage or the work thye have done, they are very apologetic so i cant bad mouth them. just a shame. this is where i have it running within...
using a facet fuel pump. the ignition amp is a new one, one of the lads that worked here made it up as thats how he did it on his (jaffa the orange caddy with a 1.8 in it) but hes been sacked now so i dont know which wire goes where lol. so it probably would be easier if i could find one that...
ive text the ex, hes not replied, he makes me work so hard for any help, tbh i know hes been right all along and that i shouldnt have gone about things with it the way i did but when emotion is envolved its difficult..
winston.. its in exactly the same state as when it went down :s
i know it will be but i cant cant see that at the moment, i just need to get it so it runns then ill be happy f**k the rest of it, i can do that but im not a mechanic, ive tried to pay 2 garages now who have just fucked me over. its disheartening to say the least
just going to see what i can work out, i ovly have 2 weeks to get it sored and off the drive its going to be pushing it, im so stressed about it all its untrue
im terrible with electrics, the spannering i can so thats no problem but when it come to wirinf stuff in im afraid i have no idea, the plan was that my ex was going to do it but we fell out and i moved it out, but now it looks like hes my only option as i cant do this my myself. i think my bro...
nope no paint, ive spent too much on carting the fucker round the coutry to be abkle to afford that anymore
i really cant.
i just want it finished or at least to a point where it looks like a car again.. atm i have a very very expensive shell and a complete lack of people willing to help...
you know what i dont even know any more,
from what i can work out it needs the ignition control module and fuel pump wiring in... then thats it... :s
carbs are on, brakes are done, wiring is plug n play so i cant see that being the problem, i really dont know, they havnt really told me what...
basically i should have known better than to trust a garage to do as they said,
2 garages have taken it on and then decided against it, its not pretty i know that but its not rocket sience.
1, 2 , arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
