  1. Yeh, still finding dog hairs in the carpets and upholstery even though some of the boot carpets and trim had been cleaned before I bought it. Leather needs attention ….. Master plan is to first address the small amount of rust at front end first (working on that at the moment). Underside has been rustproofed previously (possibly by Honda dealer) and overall is not bad. Had the sideskirts off and sills are ok but they weren't undersealed so have done that and will be injecting inside sills. Need to also re-seal where the welding was done at rear end. After that want to go through the mechanics, cooling, brakes and suspension bringing them all up to scratch but leaving them standard for now. Then, on to the body...... So guess it will be a full restoration. Don't want to even start thinking about mods until I've at least got a reliable car that looks half decent as a baseline

  5. It's not too far down mate, in a wee village called Stow. It's 7 miles outside Galasheils, and it was top of our list of places to live in the borders. We never dreamed we'd be able to get a house there as the prices (when they do come up for sale, which aint often) is way above what we could afford. But this wee cottage came up, semi detached, 3 bedrooms, massive (as in bloody Huge!) living room and tons of land! On one side there is the old ruins of a church which is illuminated at night and looks stunning (and the neighbours are dead quiet!) and on the other side, another big church, then acorss the road it's the river and a view out over the hills. It's bloody amazing! We only got it cheap though as it needs renovated (so electrics, windows, possibly heating) and the interior is like stepping into the 70's! A lot of work but we are really looking forward to getting stuck in. Oh, and there's a massive long driveway, a single brick garage with a car port to the side and Gayle has told me I've to get another double garage same as the one here built! We spend a fair bit of time going down for lunch at the weekend in the village, people there are so nice. Gayle has also said that as the drive is so long (you basically turn into our drive off a small lane and it is like a road through the garden right along the rear garden) we could start a civic5 meet there! has even suggested if memebers wanted to they could bring tents and camp in the garden!! Oh the possibilities!

  6. Jeez that's an unusual one. Must be a real big offset. How unlucky. How much of a spacer do you think it will take? 5mm be enough? Cheap enough to try a set?

  9. LOL been done for a while now chaps. Today was the first time she's turned a wheel since around End of October, not been started since then either! Due to us preparing for the move to the new house, One side of the garage is full of stuff from the loft. Went out today as I had a plan to get DD's winter wheels fitted now that the snow is here. So fired up Mindy (first flick of key and running sweet as a nut! ) and moved her out of garage, took her a wee soin up the road to the roundabout and back. Then moved all the stuff to her side of the garage. This leaves the side that DD (the easy side to drive into) free so I can store Mindy, then if need be move her out to work on DD. DD's ghetto wheels have caused a saga....read all about it in her thread! No Happy! I'll see if I can get the link to it mate, genuinely great stuff! I posted up on MX5 OC as someone there was asking about it so will post it up asap Jake.
