Cant you start now, i wanna see where this goes Offer them up at least so we can see... !

I've just tried this.... i can see that it will work for some as it feels like the boot is opening with more force now, but it's still not worked for me.

Neo for me.

Nice one Stu

A G-Wagon is on my list of cars to own, and will probably be my first restoration project when im ready for that stage in life as i love them... but i need something a bit more current as i intend to use it as a daily through winter.

I know but i've got to get the 4x4 bug out of my system or else i'll be in the same boat in 12 months time... I should get an M-Class merc which would tick both boxes, but i only like the very latest model which is £30k plus

My missus worked at Envirofone about 4 years ago, which is of no help at all i realise, but i thought it was interesting. The owner at the time who started the company was a greek guy, and he'd always be having staff nights out where he'd buy everyone's drinks thinking he was the big man... but i always chose to pay for my own. Anwyay, i would check on the CEX Exchange website what they'll offer for it, and then you can at least drop into your local branch in person and sell it to them. Less risky and they seem to offer at least as good prices as the others in my experience.

I could be wrong but i think Leonk had one a while back too... might be worth a PM. Whilst i like them and would like to own one - literally every time i see one my first thought is 'is that an MR2?'. It's a shame really as it shouldnt be like that.

Im hoping they're still looking good for wales as it's a real ball ache taking them off and polishing them with the drill and yep, looking forward to having a bacon bap with you!

I did a few hours research at the weekend on the RR forums, and its literally scarred me off them. Im gutted. From what i was reading it's a pretty much nailed on certainty that your gearbox is going to go between 80k and 110k miles, ever single air suspension setup seems to develop multiple faults seemingly every year, and there are a whole host of other complaints occurring frequently (steering column replacement, alternator/battery issues, an endless list of electrical gremlins etc). In the 5 years i've had of 350z ownership, other than standard maintenance i've not had to spend a penny on fixing issues with the car (touch wood), so to go to this level of unreliability is quite off putting.

Good job buddy. Im out of the country from 18th-24rd with no access to the forum - incase you think i've dropped out - i havent.

As above so that the body can be rotated through 360 degrees. As regards lifting, I thought you had to watch your back but as an extra pair of hands to position things I may just take you up on that Awesome, that will be cool. My back should be fine for some heavy lifting, it's mainly fatigue that causes problems i.e. if i've been bent over all day working in the garden, or if i've been an idiot and tried to play some kind of sport.

Agreed, the front 3/4 of that look mint but the rear looks retarded!

Interesting idea, but it will end up like this:

Excellent mate, worth the wait... The rotisserie sounds like a big job... what style are you going for, the full job or a tilter? Looking forward to more updates, and if you need a hand with any heavy lifting you know where i am.

When do you want payment bud? Im on a stag do in Prague from 18th-23th April...

Hows things going Leon?

Nice work, and well done for not skinning your knuckles at least when removing the bumper.

Hahaha... ive had the missus telling me off tonight cos i can hardly move as my back has all stiffened up.

My most used/useful tools are a low entry trolley jack and a large torque wrench. Makes swapping wheels a breeze. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/clarke-alu-trolley-jack-CTJ1250A-low-entry-11-4-tonne-/230795313170?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item35bc790012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2-DRIVE-DR-TORQUE-WRENCH-GARAGE-GERMAN-GS-TUV-/151020836809?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item23298b17c9

No before pics sorry... just imagine a whole load of white spots on the bumper. The kit came with scratch cleaner, paint, lacquer and polish, but all i used was the paint, applied with a cotton bud. The colour match is great but up close you can obviously tell where it's been done - but ive achieved my aim which was to disguise all the white spots from 1 meter away.

List for what? Im going to Japfest and to Wales next month...
