I would be keen for a meetup when I get my Avenger back on the road.

kierbear · March 05, 2014, 05:21:37 PM

totally! when is that happening?

Talking about Wheels this weekend: is it worth going across for a look? Because I'm feeling really unmotivated at the moment and there is shit loads of work needing to be done on the old girl. Maybe if I had a goal to work towards in the next couple of days? I'm surprised with how good exhaust mounts cable ties make, though. Giving me absolutely no grief at all.

I am dropping my Avenger down to the mechanics today to get the engine back in so it should be ready in a couple of weeks.

My thought was that the exhaust being hot wouldn't be the best for plastic. But seems I was wrong.

My old Orange car was absolutely disgusting with cable ties. Had some holding the accelerator linkages together, wrapped around the clutch cable so it wouldn't pull through the firewall, the battery in place and for dozens of other smaller things.

Oh nooo haha my car went for a WOF today and now I have a list of things to do, typical!! $$

Japanese cars would be no good for me. I wouldn't know how to fix anything on them. I've replaced or repaired just about everything on various cars over the last 10 years. Manual conversion in the back yard? Piece of piss.

My main constraints at the moment is a lack of free time and bloody studylink.

avenga · March 13, 2014, 08:38:47 AM

I am just getting my Avenger back on the road and it failed a few things on it's WOF

blekkja · March 13, 2014, 12:54:29 PM

Oh god. What month is it? Must be almost that time for me again, too. What happened to this yearly business they were bringing in?

If you can find an Hillman Avenger made after 2000 you'll be able to get a one year WOF!

Too easy. Where did all the tooling end up? Mexico? The Iranians still make the engines...

I think I prefer my classic reg and insurance premiums more.
