jeez that was quick :cool:
Got the blue slip or roadworthy certificate today - not much else. All the other work still has to be done.
We will book the car in on Monday for the authenticity check. The lead time on this is usually 3 weeks.
That gives us 3 weeks (of spare time) to strip the car down again, fix the 2 front guards, repair some small dings, prepare all the panels and body, prime, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear, then re-assemble and re-install screen. Still unsure of the colour - white at this stage is the easiest by far.
Also picked up the rear tail shaft and made enquiries about new springs and shocks.
Andrew is chasing up on wheels and tyres and a sound system.

Wish I was your daughter/sister :(
Well Lou, We are very proud of both our children - their upbringing, their dedication to their schooling & education and the final direction they have decided to take in life.
We can only hope the future continues to bring them success & happiness.
If we can help them along the way - in ANY way - we will. :)
I'm positive all parents would do the same.:D:D:D
yeah but its harder when ours are 14000 miles away:D......will keep track of this thread its very interesting with the time frame, bit like scrap heap challenge except your making something with more quality that will actually work :lol2:Quote:

I assume you go for a standard size on wheels due to their location and trye availability at short notice?
So do I! :eek:Quote:

....So how many children do you both have 14000 miles away:D:D:D
ALLOVA - but you can have 7 letters.
That one seemed to cope alright. When dusty it certainly looked less dirty than white.
Like most colours though, if they spend too long in the sun up here then they do fade etc. Having said that, you can certainly put as much effort into its finish as you like which will help.
Personally I would agree with Sharon & Alfred if it was my 130 :angel:
