aye, ive been out in the cold too much lately because i have a horrible cold. ah well.

hopefully they will arrive tomorrow, if not Saturday ive been promised as the latest. (we'll see)

ill figure something out...........mabee...

 

[whitz]

get well soon

my drive isnt the best either up off the road then goes down towards the house doesnt look like much but it has a habbit of destroying my trolly jacks

most annoying thing ive had happen is as i live about 40 metres from a primary school we have random people park on a drive i got annoyed at it one of the days so i parked behind this random car and blocked em in

while your ill and in the house take the old bushes out and get the hammerite out :yum:

 

[clock34]

as said earlier ive lost me break spanner so there still attached any my callipers wont come off and i cba takin my handbrake cable of them haha.

pluss the cold aint stopping me, i aint a women! but its annoying. im getting annoyed and blaming my car for it so im loosing patience with it . pluss i got my thumb stuck on the rad when taking the horn off before and really hurt it haha. im a idiot.

wont be long now though till i can come show you it. (paintwork is shocking though mind, dents and peeling laqure and cracked bumpers)

 

[whitz]

wont be as bad as mine paid £200 for it, £130 in parts at trade and i still wont be driving it , all i need to sort it out now is a front wheel hub nut that seem to be hens teeth were i am

 

[clock34]

i could get you a second hand one probably but i dont know if you want one of those?

and its fooked the paint.

na im ok but thanks

il have to take a trip to the fiat dealers one of the days

red imo is really bad for peeling and fading on centos

while its up in the air have a look around under the rear arches if any rot is starting if so get on it asap, i would my first cinq....truly a shed lol

 

[clock34]

dont think seis are as bad for rust as the cinq's but there is rust on the rear (beams) i think not the arches or anything just box shaped things at the back underneath that needs sortign but it doesnt look major. its too low to the floor atm for painting underneath, ill wach it up high some time in the near future and sort it. oh i did ask the mot guy last time how bad it was and he said it wasnt anything to worry about but il get it done before i do have to worry about it/

 

[whitz]

i was told that too, hit it wit ha rubber mallet softly and a piece the size of my fist dropped off

just had a look for the pic and here it is

what a beut lol it was a late 96 thow

 

[clock34]

wow. well i poked mine and its solid just flaking

 

[whitz]

flaking isnt that bad but id get onto it asap, this cinq was a nice car at some point just a shame the previous owners neglected it

places to look are rear arches (ofc), jacking point and below the window even thow this had alot more

 

[clock34]

rear arches are fine its just these square things and the spare wheel bay thingy underneath. ill wirebrush and hammerite as soon as it warm up a tad. will look at the jacking points but im guessing as ive got it on 4 axel stands atm i would have noticed rust but ill check.

Good progress, radiator looks a bit hammered.. Always keep your cento cooling system in good order, these engines run hot as it is brand new one is cheap as chips anyway

 

[clock34]

aye its all the grit over the winter it was brand new in summer. but ive added 40k on the clock since then. id get another but im outta cash for the project haha spent about 800 on it in 14 days haha

 

[blu73]

time to get that bumper meshed then..
yep projects eat through the cash thats for sure!

 

[clock34]

mesh would be a good one but its last on my list as you can imagine.

got off the phone with venom motorsport today and my bush's have been back listed.

as some of you may know powerflex's factory burnt down in november 2009. since then they have been clearing a backlog of orders.

as the sei is a uncommonly bought item its on a back list so common items are made first. you can pay extra and get it done (which venom have now done) but it still takes 6 days for them to make set and post them out then venom will post them too me. so im waiting 7-9days for them now!!!!

gutted today as my new exhaust needs loads of adjustment to fit so its now known a cinq cat back wont fit a sei. so im going to have to use the standard exhaust with a flexi on the end for now till i can get a custom made.

GUTTED

 

[whitz]

it could be worse

 

[clock34]

aye mate just reading about your problem gutted for you. wish i knew a answer to help.

im going to keep standard bush's on the front jsut to get my car on the road and swap them later.
