  1. Shed load of poly bushes ordered from power flex tonight, and some extended ball joints from tegiwa. It was a real disappointment when I went back to normal ones after the mfactory ones died, so looking forward to getting them again.
  2. It's a massive place! They had more gems out the back where tubs was hiding, including a mint condition 80s GMC van.
  3. Just been down for an initial chat. They're going to start stripping the underside, clean up any bits that need it, and coat it with raptor underseal, and squack in waxoil into the crevices. Going to get all the suspension arms etc powder coated as well. Getting started this week. Took some pics of cars they've got in at various stages.
  4. Engine plans sound like a good idea bud. She is well blocked in isn't she.
  5. I'm going to go down to see the car restoration place this week and come up with a plan, but yes, the plan is to protect as much as possible.
  6. Cheers Jake. Thanks again for the tip off, and thanks to @Grant for taking such good care of the car. I'll make sure that she lives on for a long time bud
  7. Bit of an update, had a road trip this weekend and am now the owner of a mint (really mint) rolling shell to help save poor old tubs. Quick quiz for @Dave to see if he spots the number plate...
  8. Can't remember if it's been done this year, but this is my choice this month with its new heart beating strong
  9. It's always changing is this one Engine bay is looking pretty funky
  10. Not been an update for a while, but I'm going to go for this one
  11. House looks mint bud. So pleased that you've found somewhere that you can properly chill out in. Will have to pop up for a visit when things get a bit more normal.
  12. Is that the one that was from down near brands? Must admit, it crossed my mind more than once a a run around for while tubs is getting sorted... Even the tow bar to help with the logistics. Nice one
  13. So, I saw this on ebay a while ago, and can't get my head around it for some reason. https://www.ebay.de/itm/114228513404 Am I imagining it that this isn't there as standard? There's the little rubber strip round the lip of the arch, then beyond that it's just treated metal unlike the front arches?
  14. Could it be the blower motor that's gone? I had to swap mine years ago after it seized. Bleeding is a pain... Having the cars nose up helps (parked up hill is easiest).
  15. Sweet. Where did you get the hoses from in the end? I hope your foot heals better than my shoulder
