Costco had some good deals on spanners and screwdrivers didn't they?


Hmm . . . They had some "O.K" sets when I was there . . . didn't work out alot cheaper there Halfords and the quality definately wasn't as good.

I brought plenty of tools from CostCos but wasn't impressed by their spanners . . .

Halfords Pro is a different kettle of  from what Chris put up I think . . . .


Fair doos, I didn't click the link.  I need to look at tools again at some point as there's a list of stuff I want too.
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Any chance we can change this to Sunday? apparently I have Zara all day Saturday not just Friday night.

Calls to the U.S work out pretty cheap as long as you leave them 'til the evening, too.

I'm sad to say the Duster is being sold.

Open to MKBer's first ofc.

Looking for about £400.

I'll try and do a full write up by the weekend and take some pictures but basically she's a rolling chassis.  There is no Engine, Transmission or Exhaust!
Main points:

Needs some welding done primarily the front inner fenders and could probably do with some floor pans.

Front outer fenders are Fiberglass; there is some slight damage to them. Rear fenders are pretty rotten.
The whole car would need some body and paint work.

The interior has been stripped, though most, if not all of it, is stuffed back in the car.

The rear axle is 8 1/4" and has an LSD fitted with 3.91 ring gear by Hauser Racing.

Front and rear shocks have been replaced.  The rear springs have lowering block 3” if I remember correctly.

Font end is all polly bushed.

I have a new set of front calipers and pads but never fitted them.

The door handles have been removed and door poppers fitted,
Petrol filler has been moved to inside the boot.

That’s all I can think of at the moment, bear in mind she hasn’t moved anywhere for 2 years so I recommend viewing if anyone is interested.
