Don't really count over the winter months bud

Not having a dub to use is like not having a dub come rain or shine, wind or snow

good luck everyone!!!

Well

Still no MOT! Refused again!

Where do you take your car for mot dirty dave? Also do you have any welding hint and tips you could share with the rest of us as your work allways looks amazing!

... Zal you're best bet is dowdens mate, so when it fails you can park it round the back of my works place and tow it back home after dark (due to new MOT rules on leaving premises etc)? Although cliff isnt a fan of theirs, so 'tis upto you really.

Ahem what do you mean FAILS !

I took it to Kwik fit in worle... But will be going to Formule first in weston.(they're pretty good. Should have taken it there to start with)


Cheers dude. If there's anything in particular, just ask. Always happy to help. Other than that, just practice practice practice.

best of luck today Dave... 3rd time lucky!

good luck bro.

Good luck bud hope all gos well

fingers crossed for ya bro!

Good luck!

What time are you going down Dude??? Are you bringing it to the meet tonight WHEN it passes??

As Dave's now back at work, thought i'd reply for him! It goes in at 4. Not sure what he plans to bring tonight, depends on if me and Jack come as it doesn't have the right seatbelts to put the car seat in yet.

Go go go go hope all goes well

..... gotta say it mate, this was my 'car of the show' today, utterly goregous stance on the front.

Thanks dude.
I was very pleased with the responce it got today. Makes all the hard work seem worth while.

was great to see the chop on the lawns yesterday dude...........i was lookin in the window at your spanky steering wheel & the bloke behind said "wow, wonder where he bought the steering wheel"............how smug was i......turned around & said "he didnt buy it......he made it!"

Top car matey, nice one

Looked absaloutley amazing, Was one of my favourites there, the colour looked great in the sun, Top Job!!

xxxxxxx

Dude the car is looking top dollar, fair play man it's a work of art!!

Me and steve are about to get some lexan for the car but wonted to ask some questions.....

where did you get the lexan from?
who much was it?
How much did you get and how much did you use?
How thick a sheet did you use?

thanks for the help dude

Well well, it seems only right and fitting to continue on where DD left off.
As she stands at the moment the paint needs doing, the interior needs a spruce up and a few bits and bobs need finishing off - a lot less than Dave's taken on with the Serb, god bless ya!!.
Sir Rich of Crewkid will be doing the honours with a Black blow over. The inside will stay candy red as it hasn't faded and still looks awesome with the contrasting headliner. The beige seats will be coming out for a scrub and a nice new carpet set going in - once the leaks have been sorted
The Empi 5's will be changed for a set of original solid steels (4's on the front for a little extra tuckage) and the zorst is going in favour of a cheeky stinger... Having driven it for a few days, i think she might need to go a little lower

Oh, and there'll be some tunes nestling in unsuspecting nooks and crannies, so far a couple of JBL 500w 12's for the rear and i'm on the lookout for some component separates and a nice head unit

As soon as work starts (a few days) i'll start firing some pics up and fingers crossed should all be sorted for dubs@thecastle at the end of the month

watch this space & hopefully i'll do Dave's handiwork proud

Nice one dude can't wait to see it when your done
