[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Yep extra stripes were indeed added bu Fred, Flitzer wears these too, its a sort of "Fred & Doris" trade mark
Nice shiney car by the way, keep the good work up , Jinxy

[sloopeh]

in that case I will leave them on. cheers it is shiney but also has issues close up. A bit like Mariah Carey, I am only letting you see one side of it.....

[pistol pete]

welcome to the SE
hope to see you at some meets and shows.. would be good to see flud again

[sloopeh]

will do. i will be going to the WRA at the end of May

I am trying not to to spend too much time and money on FLUD at the moment as i need an expert opinion as to whether it's worth the effort due to the rust underneath.

I am in the middle of moving house at the moment and dont have any ramps or jacks etc so still havent had a good look underneath..

they are worth restoring
if they were being chucked for being rotten there would be none left

thats why i am doing mine

[sloopeh]

thought i would give you an update on the progress of FLUD

obligatory gaiter replacement and gear change decal. thanks jinxy and rhon.



interior wasn't so bad when i got it but still, looking a bit better now.



frunk had plants growing in it so gave it a makeover yesterday



still loads to do, this is going to to take me a while longer...found that toyota still make the original spray so managed get that on order.

my to do list keeps growing but starting out as complete newbie i am finding this very satisfying!

[Ben]

Looking good
Puts my frunk to shame
Out of interest, is it a "centre-console out" job to replace the gear gaiter?

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

No, can be changed with the console in place, easy job , Jinx

I have replied on the WRA thread in the events section, but incase you dont go to that thread there is a convoy from South Mimms on Sun morning - have to be there for 6.30 am to leave at 7am prompt, as we're junction 30/31 of M25 it takes us 45 mins to get to South Mimms.

Well, after a few months happy motoring and lots of cleaning (oh how pointless it seems now!), i got to have a good inspection underneath. The result is pretty tragic. I have no idea how this car got an MOT last year as it has zero chance of getting one now.

The sils are probably about as bad as they can get without the middle of the car falling onto the road. i have yet to decide how much work to put into this.

I have set aside a weekend in two weeks time to take everything off and take some pics - I might need some advice!!!! At the moment, I am 50/50 whether FLUD will ever see tarmac again.....
