Doncaster-ish

I have dents in my car. Do you mind me asking what it cost you? I need a rough idea of cost so I don’t get rinsed.

I thought the same but the ebay part thing said they fitted and I have fitted them too. Used some lithium grease and there is no clunking. Yet

Despite having to "start again" I really enjoyed the game. Bought a hyaundi and ford. Raced around Donington and loved it

I found that some tyres don’t like the cold. PS4S and Contisport 5 were not lethal in sub 8 degrees, but certainly took some serious effort to get temp into the tyre. They were excellent in the rain though. Drive for the winter conditions and not expecting a dry summers day grip and you...

Any plastic primer. You will need 2 cans and a decent lacquer

Thank you. I should have checked. That was me being lazy.

Are you gravitex / schutz / some other brand protected on your arches here?

D43. Mondual blue. Buy a 2pac lacquer. You cannot get factory shine from anything else

After pestering @DiamondPerformance for an age on whatsapp I got down to 3000grit wet and dry , a lot of warm soapy water then some cutting compound which I applied by hand. For an amateur effort its a solid 8 out of 10 and I dont think you would notice the repair unless I pointed it out. Sure...

I tried to get the front bumper off but the nut was spinning the bolt and stuck. Got fed up so painted the brace between airbox and ECU. Then played with my new parrot remote control so I can actually hear it. Rock and roll!

This morning I broke the sound barrier getting over to a localist paint shop. New paint acquired, sprayed and lacquer erm , lacquered. Awaiting it to go off and will flat it with 3000grit paper and polish Looks a mile better Before During After

Did you learn new swear words especially for your cup as well?

in an act of the car wont defeat me I decided today was the time to change the center exhaust hanger. I appreciate it’s likely to fail again , but for now it will do. Oh, and now the lock has completely packed in on the boot

This car is the gift that keeps giving. Yesterday I fixed the drivers side check strap and a few rattles. For my service to the restoration of the car the boot lock is now clicking and won’t open. Investigation required I think!

Todays weather has been sunny. I have a replacement weather strip I have two check straps. The replacement one looked too long, but looks can be deceptive. It fitted well and I didnt have a wrestle with the doorcar putting it back together. The door is now proper stiff to open and close in a...

The 172cup is now my daily workhorse. One wheel off for straightening and some paint. Lost a little chunk at Anglesey!

I have two new check straps to fit and a replacement piece for the top of the door card that I cracked . I am on the lookout for a new bonnet as my is rough. The car isn’t perfect, but this lets it down.

Files and folders. Worked for an eon. Why change what works? I find it frustrating at times when people say its on the teams channel. Which one? I have 1.7million ( +/-10% ) of the things. Its an information black hole. Its facebook for the workplace.

ORLY? Is it a lot more competitive now?

Its the part that is at the top of where the doorcar meets the actual panel. Provides a weather seal/strip against the inner window. I think it might be 7701207589?
