So, the gathering was aproaching fast and the Avenger still a mangled mess.
I needed to buy a car, something cool, something awesome, so I bought a shonky communist land rover with a knackered clutch, knackered prop shaft UJ's and a hole in the exhaust, lol
That was it's good side, the other side was a mix of red oxide primer and BRG.
Not a great combo with baby curse word beige. Especially when the paint looks like it's been poured on.
So while I was waiting for my UJ's and my clutch master and slave cylinders, I thought I'd paint it.
Turned out ok for a rubbish paint job, applied over another rubbish paint job.
Didn't get any pictures of the clutch parts going on, or of the UJ'S I replaced, too busy trying to get them done in time.
So, the night before I left for the gathering, I found a little Darth Vader wind up toy.
And so, Darth Lada was born
Made it to the gathering ok, despite it boiling water at an alarming rate and trying to kill me due to only one of the brake calipers working
Many thanks to Blownimp for helping me free it off in the camping field.
Since then, I've sorted the deafening exhaust.
Sounded like a WW2 fighter plane on a strafing run
Now I just roam the streets terrorising Saxos and parking it next to really expensive 4x4s
