[JustAndy]

It's a rare occurrence indeed! No pictures, here's the reason

Hmm well i forgive you then, i will just have to use my imagination

The carpet is like a jungle... The er car that is

 

[m20b25]

Picture issue now rectified!

Just 2 though

First, the back seats. Spotless

Better get cracking with the rear bench when I have the time...

The front footwell however...

Out with the roundup I thinks :spin:

Keep watching...

 

[BANG TIDY]

Roundup, thats exactly what the doctor ordered. well maybe not the doctor, but the gardener anyway.

 

[m20b25]

And we FINALLY have progress once more

First, cut those damned weeds surrounding the car!

Better

So off with that awful bonnet and in with a battery...

Confident it would start but it didn't this was the first time it failed to start! First instinct was to check the pump...

Yep, empty tank :bang:

So 15 mins later... Will it drive?

Damn straight it does We have a working car once more everything electric works too! :worship:

Time to relocate it to nearer the garage...

Better I can get the tools quicker too

Will I have it fully back together by this evening? Or am I being too ambitious... :chin:

 

[m20b25]

No time was wasted!

Bench and console back in

Followed by the slam panel

And lights

Eagle eyed poster might spot something there...

Mystery pipe!

And an unmarked Tesseo blue bonnet

Just the splash guards and the passenger seat to put in now

 

[monteiro2448]

please, continue repair

 

[m20b25]

please, continue repair

I sure will

Good news people... I brought my Nokia back to life GRATUITOUS PICTURE TIME!!! :slayer:

First, out of the garden

Yep, the van is holding up well if anyone is wondering. Enjoying a rest under that tree

Up on ramps

I had a little issue with lights going bananas... My first instinct was dirty contacts

But that didn't cure it! Out with the old lamp

That didn't work either! I noticed a dangly wire...

So I earthed it and...

Let there be light :slayer:

Next were the splash guards

Lack of use is evident on the discs

While that side was off the ground, on with another alloy

And back down when all fitted

Same process on the other side!

Onto the boot...

Better

Back to the interior. Something's missing...

Time to awaken this from hibernation!

Well come back to that in a bit...

Decided to clean up the interior some more. Time to break out...

Looking better

And it looks much better when fully done

This is annoying

It's difficult to clean properly

Then there was this to clean

Better

And that was that for the moment! Nearly there

Nostalgic moment

And the rear

Just the exhaust left to weld

 

[BANG TIDY]

But let me tell you, The lighter probly will be the most used thing untill shes on the road.

It's taken a bit too long! An on and off thing... But I have it almost as right as I can before I move onto something else

That Tempra needs seeing to, prefably this summer...

But, it will be back!

What he said And a new chapter for the car

 

[m20b25]

You useless, miserable, hateful weather Summer my arse

"I'll get it sorted in time..." How foolish of me! Nothing but píss, píss, píss from the sky all week :bang:

So in a week, what did I do? F*ck all

Well, I freshened the interior up can't exactly take a picture of a scent

I did make a vain attempt to clean up the outside a bit...

But leaves soon undid that!

Rooted out 2 tyres

Found these, at bloody last!

Along with Bruce

Should Bruce stay with the car, that is the question.... :nerner:

 

[m20b25]

I'm fairly annoyed I couldn't sort the exhaust

Thus here draws the end of an era

2 more straps in the morning, pump the tyres and bring the taxbook.

Farewell yellow car :wave:
