O.K

The seat is now fitted. And it's been agreed that it's a pretty good match considering the alternative.

The new interior panels/bits are fitted.

The new clock is fitted but I damaged the display on that one in the process

However it's still not as bad as the original - Yet.

Now it just needs a good hoover out and an air freshener and the interior will be back to normal.

After that it's the Bodywork, locks and Indicators . . . .

I'll need a new wing for sure, a couple a cans of spray paint will hide the worse and hopefully the bumper will pull back with some cable ties.

Oh, yeah and I fitted a new leccy window switch hoping that'd cure the stuck window.

It didn't.

However so far it's cost me nothing in parts and only about an hour or so's labour.

All good considering then

Glad it seems to be going to plan repairing it...

Unfortunately the wing is spot welded on.

That ain't gonna be fun.

Hehehehe.

O.K on the 9th of March the Speedo read (1)23248 miles.
Right now it reads (1)23979.

731 miles in 11 days . . . . Not bad.

She stalled twice this morning though.

Da' bitch.

Mileage (for work) this month so far is 569 mile + expenses = £268.

This'll be more like £400 by the end of the month.

Oh, and I've done just under 8,000 miles in her since I got her just over 4 months ago !!!

dang dude, i coulda told you that!!!

(although i swaped the switches over, rather than buying one!

)

Roadkill · « **Reply #112 on:** March 22, 2006, 04:59:33 am »

O.K, I didn't buy one.

My brother was scraping a Chavvy so I got some bits off of it.

ahhhh....

did ya get the window motor though? thats where i believe the fault is..

Roadkill · « **Reply #114 on:** March 22, 2006, 05:02:26 am »

Nah, It was Fekking cold and I don't care that much.

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #115 on:** March 22, 2006, 05:13:29 am »

didn't think so....

UPDATE 1.

The poor girl is (quite literaly) falling apart now.
The previous body repairs (after getting hit when she got nicked) are falling away from the rest of the car.
And the front indicator lense flew off on the M25 somewhere.

Roadkill · « **Reply #117 on:** March 31, 2006, 08:31:37 pm »

UPDATE 2.

This said she managed to clock over 1,000 works mile alone in the last 3 weeks.
This roughly equalled £465 in petrol allowance and expenses.

UPDATE 3.

I went into the back of some silly foreigner last night. TWAT.

No damage to the Chav'scort - well, not much.
His car had a minor crack in the rear bumper and about half a dozen scratches.

(He pulled out in front of me on a roundabout, paniced, braked, then swerved right INTO my path !!!

Then said "Your fault and my fault, yes ?"

Roadkill · « **Reply #119 on:** April 04, 2006, 12:03:31 am »

Just hit 9,000 miles in my ownership . . . . That 1,000 miles in 9 days.

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #120 on:** April 04, 2006, 12:46:47 am »

that car aint never gonna die!

Roadkill · « **Reply #121 on:** April 04, 2006, 05:59:33 am »

It hates damp mornings, now, though.

Really bogs in low gears until she warms up . . . .

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #122 on:** April 04, 2006, 06:04:38 am »

i replaced the HT leads when i bought it....

perhaps plugs? i never changed them, so they have been in about 30,000 miles minimum
