My Del Sol - It's time to get serious!

its funny the shape of the strut brace, obviously been pulled that way, whether that says much!

btw i've got one of those strut braces in my garage you can have to get the ball rolling dave

did the recovery people cough up for the storage etc?

just give us Call if you want to use the unit mate

Unit

haha cheers for the comments guys, you're right I do need new plates and it could have been a lot worse so thats some silver lining at least. Shame its such a big cloud!

At least the recovery people paid for the storage fees, which I've been told was over 700euros! I'll let them off for taking their sweet time for that

Use of the unit would be awesome mate, need to arrange towage also. i'm off work for a week from this friday so any day anyone is free to offer towing services would be muchly appreciated and a beer or two would flow your way! If I could get towed to the unit via Densley's that would also be extremely awesome!

I'm driving to Notingham on Tuesday to collect some parts for the car and I have a spare seat in the van I'm hiring, if anyone wants a day trip let me know!

Seriously hard luck mate, hope it all turns round well

Well I've just bought this off ebay for around 300 quids

Not too bad, Im undecided whether to reshell my car, or strip this one for bits and then sell the rest... Any opinions?

When you say reshell do you mean swap your bits onto that?

Defo a good idea mate!

That's precisely what I mean

I can just see that being a headache with paperwork and insurance peoples. Plus It's a shame to see the glorious bodywork of my sol go to waste... I dont want to spend the money getting rid of the rust on this one aswell!

But It would be easier, and probably cheaper than trying to fix my car...

i would re-shell it ill be suprised if your one will ever be straight again

makes sense to reshell it, will cos the same weather u reshell urs and pay to get the rust sorted or pay to get all the panels from the blue one done red. but u know the blue ones going to be straight? cant see insurance being more than insuring the vti tbh.

ul prob get it cheaper wopuildnt supprise me lol try hic and sky and stuff flux ??

mission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well yes it would be hard to take 3 months to put pictures up of something ive owned for less than a week! Lordy..... some people!

Pictures of the new sol to come soon

i think i have more than you atm mate, i'll wait untill after you put yours up though!

Boy has it been a while..... For those who don't know the CRX attempt number 2 is booked in for its MOT tomorrow.... I am prepared for epic fails.

Wish me luck!

good luck buddy

u on the road yet

for dave, he's never on :-

It now has an MOT, so should be on the road, still needs the right steering pump on though, other than that shes a winner

Yeah, she passed her MOT, just needs taxing. Got a new pump but the hose doesnt connect up as it's for the D series pump which is currently in there. And I'll feel a lot safer when I get the brakes properly sorted...

Still, could be worse!
