[Si_Dave]

Just had another good luck through the thread mate, tis a good read.
Sorry to hear about losing your job, a i think some people would have chucked the towel in by now, what with having such a tight budget and kids to rovide for etc, but fair play to you for cracking on, respect!

As has been said above ^^^^^^ all will come good in the end!

Keep it coming fella!

[jayrs]

cheers dude.
its slow going due to cash but i dostill out out to it to do little bits, mainly for the fact if i dont ill lose interst like idid last year.
last year i had problems getting the fuel and brake lines back on under the car, clips kept breaking etc and i got so focked off i left it for about 3 month before i touched it again.
i dont wanna get ito that agian so as i say i still do bits on it, the other day all i done was take the passanger door off and really fock about on little things still fingers corssed ill have a few bucks to get some bits next week so i can get on with some other bits

[Si_Dave]

Like I said fella, respect to you for sticking at it! Just out of interest mate, what kind of jobs are you looking for? What are you by trade, an engineer?

no its cool mate, yeah im a engineer by trade but no engineering jobs about at mo.

will pm you mate save putting it all on thread.

on a brighter note, just checked a lotto ticket from 10th jan and found it to be a £10 winner so i can get some bits tomorrow now.

[Si_Dave]

Oh right, I see mate! I can understand that with no sheet of paper to your name that you will struggle these days. At least your trying, fair play to you for applying to all those jobs, like you say its there loss!

Oh yeh and yey for the lottery ticket lol! £10 win!!!

[jayrs]

thats right,

no matter, will keep looking, something will come up

[adam_frst]

lottery ticket winner! i havent won once on the lottery but have won over 500 quid on scratch cards, there the way forward , what you going to get with your tenner then?

[jayrs]

someone won £1k on a scrach card in a shop near me the other week so im told, most ive had on one card is £6, but i dont buy them much.

as for tenner i dunno yet, prob get some hardner for the 2k primer i got ready for when i prim the wing and the new door and boot

[adam_frst]

1k sounds like a good way to spend your winnings , so how long till its done now? any way it will be ready for fitp?

[jayrs]

yeah the woman in the shop told me as she sold the customer the card, and when the customer won the £1k she gave £50 to the woman in the shop that sold it her

tbh, even if its finished by FITP i done think it will be there due to money mate, as it would need tax, mot and insurance plus travel cost, so wouldnt hold ya breath on fitp, but im hoping to have it on a stand in ford fair

[adam_frst]

ford fairs in august aint it? meant to go last year but had to work , lucky shopworker bet she was chuffed to bits! get a scratch card you never know if you win 1k you can finish this and make it to fitp

[jayrs]

i didnt go last year
£1k win on scrach card, yeah not me mate, ill save my quid

[jimmyesh]

Keep going mate.

I think a lot of us on here have to fit our projects in and around all our other expendature, mortgages, bills, babies (:rolleyes: ) etc, so at times they end up pushed into a corner somewhere with the missus nagging you to "sell it"

I'm hearing your cry about the clips on the bottom of the car!! My 13 Year-old clips just self-destructed when I renewed all my brake lines and re-fitting the new ones done my head in, I was throwing my tools about, kicking things having a proper "Paddy"

[jayrs]

i think my problem was due to them relaxing in the months they were off the car, or flexed that little bit too much while painting them, so putting them back up they wasnt the right shape, im only talking a wee bit out but enough that when you pull it back that half inch to clip it in the other 1 or 2 go "ping" so you move back down to find the white clip broken


still got there in the end, and yeah, the kids come first and they have neededthings for school and what not so the car is last in line for having money spent on it.
the wife dont say anything about selling it no more, she used to say little bits when i first started but it soon stopped with the

"hows the galaxy that i spent £2.5k of my redundance money on doing??"

after a couple of time of that she learnt

still she never used to bang on about it, she bangs on about the spare FRST bonnet i got wrapped in plastic on the landing

[jimmyesh]

Fair one mate, sounds like you got her told!

[jayrs]

yep

but then again it has been said since our first was born in 2000, and the cars still here

[adam_frst]

whats this a spare frst bonnet on the landing? want to sell?

[jayrs]

na mate, spare just in case

[adam_frst]

ok just in case of what, im going to use that excuse for all the spares in my house, i can see it now

"adam why have you got three sets of wheels in your bedroom"

"just in case"

[jayrs]

if someone was to jump on my bonnet and fock it up, or i have a mis hap (lets hope not) i got a spare bonnet i can put on.
ok its black at mo but when i paint the rs im having it painted at same time along with a spare front and rear bumper, and there be wrapped up and stored, just in case

[adam_frst]

ive got to get rid of some of my spares, i dont know where half of them have come from ive got 3 xr2i front and rear bumpers, 3 sets of standard rear lights, 2 pairs of headlights, about 5 different sterring wheels, and 3 sets of wheels, my parents put me up a shesd in the garden at last, now thats full im asking for another one or for the garage to be extended and me to have half

[jayrs]

if ya got any standard steels with good tyres for a fez let me know as i could do with a couple of wheels.
depending on price though

[adam_frst]

steelies? funny you should say that i gave a way a set a couple of weeks ago tyres were almost knew i was given them myself but thought to hell with them there taking up space so they need to go, sorry mate, still got those xr2i alloys you sold me ages ago there on my fez at the moment due to one of my rear tyres on the mondeo alloys deciding it didnt want any air in it while going round a bend at 40

[jayrs]

damn

[adam_frst]

tell me about it, i was s**t my self, i normal;y can hit 50 going round the corner but it looked a bit damp so i was doing 40 tyre pressures were obviously a bit low and the lean of the wheel round the corner made the side wall pinch and blow out back went out but manged to correct it and pull over, worst thing was my sister and her boyfriend were in the car, they werent best impressed
