PMS laughing at this thread every time it pops up

Just a thought for the signwriting on the van along the lines of WBAC:

'I Value And Buy Immensely Grotty Car Or Commercial Knackerbags'

Just a bump to see what other "interesting" vehicles TP has now bought. Or he has fixed the panda.

[Poisson96]

I guess he's bought a Class 47 locomotive, a Fowler traction engine and a slightly leaky river ferry

I have a Rover 216 Cabriolet complete with K series goodness but disappointingly for you it works 100%!

Radiator arrived for this Panda the other day (£9 delivered from Amazon for a Magneti Morelli part, amazing) along with a couple of coolant hoses so I'm almost ready to start reassembling it!

Small problem of a locking wheel nut key-less Fiesta blocking access in my workshop - that should be gone in a week or so once Ford get me a new key and I'll be able to crack on with the Panda!

Aha! I'm glad someone else has taken advantage of the frankly ridiculously cheap parts on Amazon at the moment.

I got a Nissens Radiator for my Polo for £11.17 delivered and a water pump for £3.46!

Amazon do car parts?!

Outrageously cheap ones in very small stock levels it seems - they have quite a lot of radiators for less than £10, brake calipers, etc etc

Depends on the vehicle how lucky you are

(they do also have parts for normal prices on par with ECP/GSF but for some reason they have tons of stupidly cheap ones)

Those are absolutely ridiculous prices!

Checking in so I can keep track of this ridiculous project.

Any progress update OP? It's been a fascinating read so far.

Toastie is stuck between two of his hundreds of other hideous projects. All this whilst not actually having any wheels to et himself around.

This pile of st is still in bits but I really must get it moving soon - need the space back that it and all of its parts take up.

Hopefully get round to it in the coming weeks but I said that ages ago

[Toaster Pilot]

Hitting this little beauty hard this week - hope to have it running Tues/Weds!

Think I'm still short a radiator hose but will cobble it together with the old one and just fill it with water with a view to changing it once it's running and tested

it has just been sitting gathering dust for months and I need to rearrange my unit so it and its parts need to go!

Cleared the space in front of it today so the engine install should be a go for tomorrow!
