I mostly like them, much prefer the mk1's though, so much more character & the fact they're really cheap to buy & look after makes them much more appealing to keep & have fun with :cool:
Right boys & girls how should I fit my bucket seats? I'm not quite sure how to do this so I'm asking for help
The seats I've got don't have subframes, so obviously I need to get some, but not sure what to get.
I could buy these...
Just a quick post to show what I got up to last week, made a start on the thursday afternoon
Subframe off to sort the bits on it later
Engine out.....................again :rolleyes:
And how she was sat on thursday night
Fitted a lovely 5th engine mount...
More of an ASW post than an update, but an update all the same :D
So next week the engine has to come out to be fixed :roll: Unfortunately I now have no protection from darkness & crap weather as I had to abandon the gazebo of love at Santa Pod :( So I got busy with a tape measure in a...
Your mum! ;)
It got chopped up with a stihl saw then chucked onto the back of a pikey scrap mans wagon, it used to belong to the chap I quoted above :clown:
It takes dedication and the knowledge that it's not really that expensive, the only major expense other than buying it was the respray as I haven't got the skills to do that.
After the crash I got it fixed & still had a healthy profit left from the insurance payout ;) so that paid for the...
:lolup: tell me about it, I only came to yours for 1 part & ended up with a van full of stuff :rasp:
Meh, it's easy to sort now 3 hours maybe less to whip the engine out, probably do it quicker next time if there's no filthy 6th formers walkin past my house to stop & chat :evil:
Ok it's a shameless copy & paste from my project threads on other forums but I feel it deserves to be shared on here, in full and from the beginning 8)
A brief history of the car to begin with. I bought her in February 2007, a bit rough & tatty round the edges but the intention was always...
Me & my mate made it down from nottingham in the vee just as a load of mk2 & 3's were leaving :dapprove: the only time the weather caused a problem was after j10 on the M1, most of the carriageway had snow settled on it but 1 junction down it was almost empty & no snow.
Traffic coming back...
Yeah but is the sooooo much more bit worth the financial crippling? Which it what it will come down to for the OP ;)
Can you remember that far back in time when you were 19? :rasp:
I sort of agree & disagree with you there
There is quite a difference between the 2, but for me (at the time of buying) the extra cost to run (ie insurance) in relation to the increase in performance - which lets be honest isn't as vast an improvement as is sometimes made out - was...
I have to concede that the williams is the better car to begin with but I imagine it's gonna come down to insurance cost for you, same as it did for me.
When I got my valver I was quoted at £1300 to insure and a williams was £2650 so bit of a no brainer
