Wheel guru...advice needed

Nothing wrong with torque steer! In fact after selling my near 300bhp vauxhall astra I'm missing it a bit! Great fun [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
What about the new blocks on eBay like I've bought? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got a quaiffe in a gearbox I bought that I was going to sell but after hearing everyone raving about how good they are and the amount of people that want to buy it off me, I'm gonna have to try it myself I think! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will this welding kit be enough for sill replacement?
bennyk replied to isobarboy's topic in Bodywork and Styling
The problem with rough looking or pigeon shit welds is that they'll go rusty fast because of the holes and impurities in them, unlike a nice clean weld. So try to get the welds as nice as you can otherwise you're sills will be hanging off before your next m.o.t! [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Your pumps all working the problem was no power going to it to tell it to turn on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its a new old stock there's been a few on eBay recently for about £460 then spotted this the other day for £300 plus postage whist looking for other rebuild bits and thought it'd cost about the same as having one of my other bottom ends cleaned/honed/bored or whatever as it would to buy this plus I won't have to clean or paint it[emoji6] think there's a date on it that says it was made in 2003. -

I know I just want to buy loads of shiny new bits now so I can start bolting things onto it! Which reminds me did you find about that coating and if they're any good for my manifold? Finally finished getting all that itchy horrible heat wrap off of it! -

Sounds good, my astra van was great fun with a z20let in it! Wouldn't mind a caddy with a tweaked pd tdi lump reckon that'd go well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Haha! Don't blame ya! If you buy a caddy try not to buy an sdi they're dog slow and make the same noise at putting a metal bucket on your head and hitting it with a hammer!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

We've got a welder set up for gas less here, it's for emergencies if we run out of gas, it's a 5 or 6 hundred quid welder so not a right budget one and every time someone has to use it it's a big joke and you usually end up with a plastic sea gull hovering around your head!! As for cheap vans you can have this for £550[emoji2]! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hi welcome to the club! Nice to see someone quite local and another red car[emoji6]! Great to see this went to a good home, think I spotted it on eBay a while back? Whereabouts in Essex are you? I'm just across the border in Bishops Stortford. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Should be good enough mate, as long as it works ok and doesn't keep getting jammed up or anything, the little gas bottles don't last long,but for gods sake don't try it gas less though I've never known it to work well,it'll just make a mess of it (as in the welds will probably resemble pigeon shit!) and rust!!

It annoys me as I like to know what actually broke in there, but because you have to smash the crap out of it to get it out you never know!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
