    Re: HELLO ALL!

    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

    Re: HELLO ALL!

    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!

    Re: HELLO ALL!

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

    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.

    Re: HELLO ALL! - the death of FLUD? updated....

    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.....
