Today then. Excuse all the useless pics. Its to please Mr Grim....
The bucket i used to catch a small leak during the snow had collected a fair amount of water, so i emptied it and was left with this lol:
So i had a good tidy up and decided a move was needed, so got the Mk1 down on the deck:
And moved it forward:
Got the exhaust off the GTi engine:
Then the shafts, with a little help from an electric friend:
Then pulled the defender out:
Got the buck off and up against the wall
Got the A bar undone:
Then the springs out and trailing arms undone:
And got the axle away and with the buck:
Then with a little help from my friends, turned the chassis upside down and back on stands ready for the underside to be cleaned up and the grot dealt with:
And just so you know it still exists:
Also, for all you Vauxhall people, i went to see my neighbour and his Escort:
With a Turbocharged Vauxhall heart:
And deepdish revolutions, coilovers and willwoods:

He's certainly got a nice collection of escorts there. Did you see the black RS2000?
MK III Astra 2.0l Turbo Cabriolet - Landrover Discovery
Skoda Otavia 2.0 Diesel Elegance
BMW 330 Ci Sport Convertible
Today i carried on stripping the chassis of bushes, arms etc and then grinded the crud off and its all mint underneath so thats all good
Then onto the caddy. First i washed the back down:
Then it started getting its tattoo
Still hasnt thawed:
Then my improvised heating system lol:
Then got bored and released the old skool stickers. Firstly, some ladies, and 'NO RICE'
Then more ladies and 'JDM? NAH!!'
Then back to front flames (on purpose lmao), and 'SMALL HOOPS'
'DUFF RIMS'
Do the Maniquin and a bar code
More ladies
'Nob out Racing' lmao
One for the Mrs
And thats about it lmao Theyll fall off soon!

Not been funny but other than a pink and black VW van with some pap stickers on has anything ever left this "unit" in one drivable piece?
If you bothered to follow the thread as opposed to just dropping in then you would know

Van lookin' gangsta Dan, great collection of old skool stickers. May possibly be joining the VAG group myself by the end of the month.
Yes Brian did see the black one, also sex wee material.

I really dont care for the van, its just fun to take the piss out of the 'scene' and myself lol
And just a note, all cars ive stripped have been for money making. Ive never lost money on a car except my first Audi![]()
