i love you ...marry me?
There's quite a queue now.
Gosh, the diovorce lawyers will be happy!
i thought you were a city boy?
I work in a call centre for a few days a week, but I'm rebuiding an Isuzu Trooper for someone at the moment. Had to do a chassis swap due to rust, then found the apparently sound body (so I was told) was riddled with rust too. Should finish the welding next week, drop the body on, then it's just a case of hooking everything up and it's done!
I'll be glad to see the back of it. I didn't count on having to do welding too. I can weld, but I'm slow at it, and hate getting burnt by sparks and splatters of molten metal. And it's freezing cold now, so I'm always cold, and miserable.
I'll bung a few pics on my website for people to look at once it's done.
i've just aquired a ten year old vauxhall frontera that apparently shares isuzu parts.
this thing is imaculate for its age but ...renewed the brake master cylinder ...with a brand new one which cost 50 quid last week and the fucking thing was faulty ...getting another one today ...two hundred quid!
big fat chunky tyres ...fifteens ...looks like i can get them for thirty five quid a time.
do give me a link tothe pics when your ready i'm interested.
floods arrtggghhhh!
I've noticed that the brake parts I've been buying are labeled "Trooper/Frontera" and looked under a Frontera. Surprise surprise, I found myself looking at something that was very familiar. I've suspected they're identical since then. I've been wondering exactly how identical they are, and if Frontera part prices may be cheaper from Vauxhaul, yet fit the Trooper. And have you found any suppliers of inexpensive parts for Fronteras/Troopers? I'm trying to find a better price thatn £36 for a set of rear brake pads (all round discs as it's a 2.8 Turbo Diesel).
Here's a pic from about five weeks ago.
eeeee i dont know, just canny take the pace eh
master brake cylinder from vauxhall with the vat is three hundred and fifty quid!
do you have partco near you?
or euro mota parts?
look in yellow pages for parts supplers ...loads cheaper than dealers.
look on the net.
break pads from partco i think are fifteen quid.
For my own car (VW Jetta), I use gsfcarparts. Earlier this year I got a pair of front discs, set of brake pads, and two flexible brake hoses all for about £36 inc VAT! :hyper:
I've just used yell.co.uk and we do have a Partco here! Yay Roll! Cheers! I'll give them a call on Monday. :thumb:
