Yey, black beauty runs again !!! I'll polish it up sometime so you can appreciate it Smile

Haha, its more of a tolerate-detest than love-hate, but like a lot of people, will i have as much fun in anything else? Plus i'm not really a fan of getting into debt for a 306!

Have you got the kestral yet then Dan? I've got a few bits in the garage that would be cool if you can get the machine polisher on Very Happy

Glad your happy with it mate. Head was nice and easy to sort just keep an eye on it for a bit.

Glad u got it back on the road, look on the bright side tho, at least u dont have to catch a bus with old ppl smelling of wee.lol.

I refuse to go anywhere by bus, i would rather walk to the train station get a train as close as possible then walk the rest of the way. Trains are great fun, busses are my idea of hell.

alex i got some dash bulbs you can have mate only standard ones tho but they are yours if you want them

by **AlexJ** Wed 25 Nov 2009, 04:04

Cheers Ben i'll take you up on that this sunday, mine are just blown in the middle, its alright because the car doesn't go above 90 and thats where it blacks out, can't see revs below 2k either but thats not a great problem, don't think blue dash bulbs would go very well with my retro cool beige interior (Thats right it is cool)

As with all projects i start, this one died a death after being plain stupid trying to keep that piece of S**T on the road and i sold it for £550, only £50 less than i bought it for.
