a great big thankyou
 
Hi all, i hope you don,t mind me starting a new thread for this but i really do think it warrants it.
i,ve just got home from a very long but satisfying day,
:D i,ve got my donor in the back of my van :D
i don,t quite know how to put this but the goodwill i,ve received today from a forum member is beyond " the call of duty", i,m truly humbled that a forum member who hadn,t met me till this morning could do so much for me,
my donor was driven to newcastle this morning & now its in the back of my van ready to be offloaded tomorrow where i,m building my Roadster.
All of today is totally thanks to " Flyerncle" , top bloke isn,t praise enough,
as said, i took the sierra to his workshop, then travelled home by train (an hour away) to collect my van & returned to the workshop, i,m sure my expression must,ve been funny cos half of the stripdown was done & on the floor :eek:
by about 4pm the whole car was stripped of everything i need for my build.
my drive home was slower than usual (i drive an ldv van so always slow) with everything barr the bodyshell of a sierra in the back.
i would like to publically thank "Flyerncle" for all his help, something that would have taken me weeks to achieve & many skinned knuckles i,m sure.
THANKYOU :)

CHEERS
ANDY
ps, there is something sadistically satisfying stripping a car to nothing, smiles

Well done
 
Well done to both of you.

You have done well to strip that lot in a day. ;)

Very nice to have an experienced pair of hands to help. :)

I think it is great fun pulling a car to bits knowing that you don't have to put it back together again. :D :D

Ronnie, in all honesty i didn,t really do much apart from get in the way & asked stupid questions like "whats this do, whats that for, do i need this bit" :o
Flyerncle was busy stripping this, that & don,t need that etc, i think the strangest feeling is when we "towed it away" :D :D say no more but it was lower than any street rod car you,ve ever seen.
but Ronnie i somehow DO have to put it all back together & thats scary.
cheers

Good day then mate, putting it back together as a roadster is easier than stripping some old nail with rusty fittings that haven't been undone since the day Fraud fitted them..:D
