If I get out of bed early enough I have two choices.... reward myself at BKV.... or stay home and progress a bit further???

Watch this space....

youve got to much money if buying from halfrauds. whats wrong with norm car shop

especially when I could have got you some for next to nowt! lol

oh and goodluck! :)

There's Eurocarparts, but not much else locally without driving out to the industrial estates.
I also like to buy from my own high street sometimes. We've got to support them (even some of the larger retailers otherwise it'll disappar.

To be honest the price isn't that much different.

Good luck finishing it Wayne.....the 'Burger King' I mean lol

Ready for the pod by the looks of it mate :)

All I'm seeing is lots of bits of car lyiong around, show us it all in one piece. :P

......Patience....busy trying to remove the ECU which is in the centre console, but they have fitted a security bolt which has destroyed two drill bits so far because I can't get square on the bolt.

Just filled the gearbox with new oil and will put the bumper back on tonight..

I need to get to Volvo on Monday as the front to rear lower engine supporf has two rounded bolts, so not quite their yet

Do you know halfords do a trade card no signs up but they do.

So the remaining shopping list will be Lower subframe bolts and bushes.
New wheel nuts for my new alloys.

Correction on above - the bolts are cross threaded and not rounded.. Thanks for all the offers of tools, but I should be OK as long as I've got the right tap..

nearly there :)

then you can make a start on the 850! :lol:
