Excellent! Not sure which one you're on about but doesn't sound a bad price. I'm sure the Golf will fetch considerably more than that so you should be quids in!

Each to their own I suppose, but you really ought to head on up here. I have a valver bumper waiting for you! Photo was taken when Ian came up, and I was also storing Matt H's Phase 1...docchevron132 wrote:Mat, your garden is giving me the horn!

Re: back in the fold
just spoke to the guy selling the meteor and it turns out that they are a citroen specialist garage who have used the car as a runaround ( staff only not customers) since the previous (retired ) owner of it gave it to them when he packed in driving, they have serviced it for a number of years by all accounts

Re: back in the fold
Looks neat Mickey. I have seen rust there before but not often. Also check the stiffener to the boot inner wall and the back panel just behind it (no structural issues) I've filled the panel and pop riveted a strengthener over the stiffener before now.
I just checked my bushes but no sign of FT.
Doc. If you are going to visit Mat, I could shoot over and let you have that HP pump.

Re: back in the fold
I really ought to pop up to Mat's yes, that bumper will grow roots soon!

Are you then neglecting 132? We haven't had a progress report in a long time - will it be ready for riding in 2012?docchevron132 wrote:hoping to have the latest project up together by the end of Jan at the latest..

Re: back in the fold
132's being a bit neglected yes, although not toally, I've been a bit busy stripping a Midland Red Lance for bits, including a full heated screen.
Deadline top have it in traffic is June 10th. This year. It probably wont be finished inside by then, but it should be MOT'd, painted and looking pretty from outside at least.
It did survive the jacking incident yes, almost unintentionally really, but it's progressed a long way since that.

Re: back in the fold
June 10th? I take it the launch will then be at the Bristol Harbourside Rally. That's good news indeed.
I will try to get over to see it. Will the Rocks Railway be open & part of the event that day too?

Re: back in the fold
Thats the plan. It's 25 years of Badgerline, so appropriate to release it in to the wild at an event I'm involved with in it's home town. The Rocks Railway should indeed be open that day, with frequent free buses between the railway and the harbourside.
