WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[rancidrich]

Pointed and laughed at all the new dents in the old 2.3
For some strange reason the neighbours now give the truck a wide berth when parking in the street

Driver's window playing up, sounded as if it had come loose..
Stripped the parts off the driver's door card & pulled it off the door enough to see what's what, without disconnecting the speakers.
Dropped & lifted the window.. the damn thing was working perfectly as before slight vertical 'give' easing the window up by hand, but everything slots back where it should.
Guess I can't complain

[James Bass]

Stripped the nudge bar, headlights, indicators, grill, foglights & pods and interior switches off Chugga. Only a few more bits, then Robbie's coming to take the engine out, before she goes to the big scrap yard in the sky.

[dave1966]

All I did was put the MOT sticker on the windscreen.

Jim,thats ashame about Chugga off to the scrap yard in the sky.

[James Bass]

[dave1966]

Jim,Im that no-one bought Chugga,even if they just used it for an off-roading toy bud.

[James Bass]

I had a couple of people interested, but they only offered stoopid money...£300-£350. NO WAY SHE'S GOING FOR THAT. CAN STRIP AND SCRAP HER FOR MORE!

Its great stuff but it needs over-painting f exposed to UV-sunlight

[Big Dav]

Put the Fronty into the garage for its MOT. Had to jump start the car to get it there as battery had gone flat.
End result - PASS certificate with two advisories: a nick in one tyre and a brake pipe thats got a little bit of corrosion - the tyre is due for replacement soon anyway. Had the remaining nearside step taken off so I can put restored donated ones on.
Scotland meet is a step nearer.
