F Body · December 16, 2005, 07:12:45 PM

That's three slaps for you then Art ?

Far as I know Ryans Car is still off the road , Chrises Fireo ( or what ever it's called ) is still not finished and I'll be more than pleased if Dean's Caddy passed ?

Bloody Hell, Martyn KEEP UP !

Ryan's Camaro is BACK on the road following a successful last weekend.

Chris' Fiero is all back together and waiting for a test drive.

Oh, and my Cadillac passed her M.o.T about an hour ago.

And a wing but i'll wait till i'm sure she drives in a straight line 1st

Phil got me a throttle spring from USA today & a breather to replace dean's one he gave me (hopefully its the same, i'm not convinced...)

with that & some undersealing (thats this weekend's job!) it'll be fully ready for normal use again, although it was back on the road last weekend following, as dean said, successful install of a quality re-conned carb

I REALLY enjoyed that drive home I can tell ya!

philoldsmobile · December 17, 2005, 07:27:15 PM

i'm so pleased the car is giving you some pleasure Ryan.

that arb is rally an impressive bit of kit.. a little tuning of the fast idle solenoid, and she'll be truly on song.

Incursus · December 19, 2005, 03:23:28 PM

Results of Fiero test drive.
Well she drove ok, pulls slightly to the left but she allways did

Faster than I remember but then all I've been driving recently is works cars mostly a F@%d Galaxy

Wing don't look to bad either just a couple of cracks and scuffs but as its plastic I doubt it can be repaired, only replaced?

Roadkill · December 19, 2005, 03:56:07 PM

Hmm. Plastic can be bodged just like metal. My brother was saying about "Welding" plastic.
A Trick he was teaching himself as so many Chavs were asking him to do Body kits for them . . . .

It may be repairable . . . Especially as your selling it . . .

Incursus · December 19, 2005, 04:17:34 PM

Worth looking at.

art b · December 19, 2005, 06:52:04 PM

philoldsmobile · December 19, 2005, 11:15:49 PM

you can get the plastic welding kit for reasonable money, its just a modified hot air gun. I think sealey do one
