So today we stripped the dash of its clocks and switches, prepped and sprayed it and re fitted it, pulled the ancilliaries off the engine and refurbed then, cleaned the engine bay and had a touch up, of the car that is!! ........and found a use for a small plank whilst the bonnet stay was refurbished!!!! :-) Soon to be for sale if anyone wants a sweet little number for the summer? (Refering to the car obviously not Grum, though i can understant the mix up!)

Not one of their best shapes especially round the back window. Has the rear been altered around the lights ? Sure you and D can work your magic over it in the next few weeks

yes the nose had apparently distorted in the Dubai sun and the back was as ugly as an ugly thing on ugly day. Front was like an advert for the armoured Stingray Chevy never made.... Is this a "Tadman" interior? Just to show ya why its not gonna happen this is whats left of the passenger door when we finally got it open.... Heres on for the scrap book, and a "caption time" Ill start..,... "What the F*%K have we fkin bought" The look you see here was taken as Grum had flatly refused to get in and i had to keep him company, we couldnt leave him out there, so D contemplated the soggy wet moss, tics and worms and spiders, it was like a bush tukka trial!! Despite a trip to the garage to blow the tyres up once we'd got it out the tarmac, the silencerd were 1/2 inch sunk into the ground it was that low, we got three wheels free and moving, the other took several beatings, wheel on, wheel off, wheel on again.. Wouldnt shift. So we squirted half a ton of WD onto the ramp and dragged it up kicking and screaming. And finally after three hrs..... Then how do ya get a car with a locked wheel off a flatbed? Take the side bed lights off, reverse truck (just) between posts and use a two post ramp ..... Simples. That was a real adventure and a crackin day.

Last night wit siezed brakes we dragged the BM out from its 15 year slumber, and after aome persuasion it fired. We managed to get it about 1/4 mile under its own steam, but with the brakes binding we reaorted to a tow hitch job. A wash and a look round and it was onto a ramp to see what we had bought Think the tax has expired... After a slight altercation with the battery charger (that cables red I tell ya!) We pulled the wheels off and D freed up the brakes by stroking them and telling them he liked them. Hoping it doesnt need too much for its test, the underneath is real solid having been ziebarted years ago, there the odd spot on the body but thats about it. Anyone want a BMW? We need to move on, Weve a Pontiac Lemon needing attention! :-)
