Default Blag of the day???

Just borrowed a sealey 150 welder, and when I picked it up the guy said come and look at my car, he had a Ginetta with a boot full of spares. He is selling the car, but gave me some spares.

AP brake bias valve
full set of spax shox and springs
Sierra steering column
sierra LSD

all the above was FOC

I need to go and sit in a dark room to calm down a bit :

There is nothing wrong in having a "Q" plate, other than it may cost you more to source the parts individually as against buying a full donor car, I got my donor for £150 with tax & test

Have you got your steel yet?

cheers

Picking up a few lengths on monday (not got enough cash to get all at once)

I have got my eye on an MOT failed sierra currently sat in a driveway, have approached owner, I can have it if a family member doesn't want it, problem is its a dohc so I will still probably change the engine for a pinto or cvh.

Thumbs up Blimey

Well, i'll go to the foot of our stairs

I thought " What a lucky fellow " or words to that effect

Was pleased when I was given a donor free but you have done really well there .... Nice one
