Rear glass tinting went well. First one, straight on and squeegee’d out. Second one……..? Three, yes, three attempts. First one done wrong way round. Second one… wind blew it into itself Third one…… Pedro called in to add more hands. I also cleaned the door insides and painted the two...

Popped out to pick up some free VW Bora parts yesterday. Rear Springs are 2” shorter than fitted. Rear Shocks two or more inches longer Airbox with filter doesn’t fit (yet) Two side repeater lenses. Only had one Front core support brace needs modification to replace different rusted out...

Yes !! 🏆 They are pretty but like spokes, a PITA to clean In bed. **** 😈 Relaxxxxxxx Go get that CSI black light…….. Totally. And every time I say “Never again “ They are right. But I hate them. It’s a bit like doing CPR on your ex wife, after she has screwed you hard in...

Wheels I do love a nice set of wheels. I may even be described as having a little problem But that’s just everyone else’s opinion. But imagine your car rolling on a set of wooden discs, cut from a fallen tree. No?? Thought so. So I spent a lot of hours on these Dare R/S replica BBS...

Going to be hot welding today. Currently laying awake chatting with Dennis in Missouri. No aircon in English houses.

Both are Renderings. So build one. I am…… 😉

And a happy picture. And another Both French.

My dad once told me he was proud of me, because I was fearless and that my integrity would dictate my actions, regardless of outcomes. I guess taking responsibility for my acts and omissions is something my parents taught me. When I was in the military, I carried some responsibility and...

John b John became a good, loyal friend after staying here for 7 months a few years ago. He has a really calm manner and will often discharge my frustration and anger with a sensible comment. He actually has a key to the house for collecting his parcels. Where he lives, not even the...

Happy and Sad response here. Look after yourself my friend.

Those Dare R/S wheels. Escalated fast. Sand paper, wire brush, paint stripper and centre caps…… Why do I even do this to myself?? Aaahhhh football and beer….. can’t be bothered with wasting my life on that. Once again thankful that I have spent my money on tools enabling me to create and...

Correct.

Yes you have no idea. I should have opted for a corporate transfer to America in 2002 when I asked for England. But we need to take responsibility for our own choices.

I need to find someone who has done it before. Also some research. But once again my love of weird and quirky leads me down the path less traveled.

Datsun was Japanese. Of course it was faultless. And stupidly economical. The 1200cc engine with probably altered carburetor to earn the GX label was revolutionary for my dad. He had grown up on cars that demanded real men not people worried about fuel economy. I suspect the V4 was...

Go Fund Me page not created. BUT……. Happy with advice or functional working parts to be sent down my way. The Question is obvious: Think about it. The answer is: To lower a 1999 Skoda Cube Van (mechanically a Skoda Felicia Van/Pickup, model code 6U), you need to modify its...

🙏 😢 I won’t be using ********’s But I used yoga mats when I built the Rezin Rockit It helps a lot.

@Squankum and @Bob Heine the rear window comments made me smile. My dad made the mistake of allowing 9 year old me and my 8 year old brother to “choose” his new family car in 1972 He loved two door cars, coupè shapes. Sporty styles. We hated the two door V4 Ford Corsair he loved, that my...

Removing Rust, Rebuilding Sills. Skoda Cube is progressing. Repairing “Bodyshop” Bodges. Identified a load of rust, and untouched damage. Cutting, Fabrication, Welding, Grinding and finding more work to do has seen progress on the underside of the little pickup. I also had to repair...

Progress is slow on the Cube. The more I grind and swear the more I realise it should have been CUBED Amazing how knotwheel of truth can remind you hours later that it is in charge. 9.30 pm after a shower and food last night, watching a new episode of Ambition Strikes on YouTube and chatting...
