Im starting to get p155 off now. Ive got the car in the garden under two gazeabos as you know. This morning it all blew over for the scond time. th first time it snapped all the guidelines and landed in my garden. So this time I had a sandbag a gas bottle two metal trestles and an engine and the f$$king thing blew away again last night so I have woken up at 6 o bloody clock to try and sort it out in the p155 down rain. :evil: :evil: So. For the time being I have just draped a big tarpaulin sheet over the lot of it but its going in my gragae eithere this afternoon or tomorrow as the gazeabos just cant take the weather. Im soaking wet aswell. All of my seats are dripping. My grinder that was in the boot is soaking, my elctronic ignition box is soaking. And to top it all off niceley. Im going to poxy work now :x

Ok I'm going to p155 a few off now but there ain't much I can do about it. I bought my 1500 to keep me in a classic whilst doing my white one. That all went tits up when I crashed my 1500 into a curb sideways. Compleatly my fault and I've had my bollockings. Anyway I bent the back axle and front subframe. So i had to resort to using my 1300 parts. Very reluctantly I might add but needs must. Now it's just sitting in my garage with a bent back axle and no fro t subframe. The problem i have is I'm losing the garage that it's in:( so the car has to go. I really really really do not want this to go to a scrap yard. It would make a great base for a resto or maybe a donor shell for a sprint? Somebody please take this fir me and keep it on the road. It is 100 % free. ;(
