Yes in the snow! Man UP!

Exactly, better safe than sorry

if you are having to stuff cardboard in there then there is certainly something seriously wrong with the holders. , I.E worn holders and such... they have to be replaced... just saying. they aren't safe like that.

Alright, when I have time then lol.

That's very true, but I would rather be warm .
I don't have to stuff loads, and I have took it out now and it seems fine, I just think its one of the roads near me, as its bumpy as hell! lol. I know mate, that's my nxt job XD

Small update, the cars suppesions has now be fully changed to hi-los. After finding out that i have red dot cones, i have to replace one with a stand one as the tread had some how came off, which my dad has manged to fix back on so i now have a spare red dot cone if anyone wants one. So the car sits nice and high currently, just waiting for them to settle and then i can adjust them to the right hights XD.

The next thing to be done is to do the rear hi-los, but this will take some time which i currently dont have, so it may be awhile yet.

XD XD

Waaaaay to long since I have posted, a few things have gone wrong and have been fixed, and also a few interior modifications,

The things that went wrong;

One of the engine mounts had broken, causing the engine to rattle around, that has been now fixed XD

I managed to put diesel in my car :-( lucky I didnt drive it much, so it was all ok after I had pumped all the fuel out, cleaned it and but a fresh lot of petrol init,

handbreak snapped, again, so that has been replaced and adjusted.

 

Things I have changed,

I now have 2 more speakers in the rear side pockets,

the rear under seat speaker board has now transferred into under seat storage.

the rear parcel shelf has now got 6by9's properly secured XD

 

photos will be uploaded shortly XD

 

last but not least, my car seems to be running lumby, and I don't know what the problem is, its nothing clear, but will look more into that next week...

So.....an and update on my car...

 

I went to the garage because a Rob was rebuilding his engine, and said it would be interesting (which is was), and I asked him to have a look and listen to my car, as it wasn't sounding right, I through it was a simple problem and could be fixed rather easily.... oooh was I wrong.... it trued out to be a head gasket problem.... so I had that pretty much refurbished, with took 3 days when they said it would only take a day and a half...then after that, Rob subjected to do a service on it, which was need anyway, that created more problems than it fixed, I managed to cross tread the sump plug bolt and so, the oil was leaking/dripping out. My car had now been in the garage for a week with bugger all being done to it....

I wouldn't say that very little has been done, it's had it's head ripped off and reattached which is not a simple operation by any account.

 

cheer up, it could be worse, look what happened to mine...

Ah right. I thought it was only the sump plug that had gone...

No, for some reason, the gearbox casing is made of alloy, and the sump plug (the easily replaceable part) is made of steel. so the sump plug strips the threads in the gearbox casing. a-series fail.

 

it wasn't on friday, but I don't know what happened saturday obviously
