Oh, and if you don't want the wheels trims, can I have them??? You are more than welcome to them, but they got chucked down the bottom of the drive and the bumpers got dumped on top of them, so i don't know what sort of condition they're in. ill check them out tomorrow. Sorry i beat you to it, honestly, i realy am   Ive been doing this and that to it over the last couple of days inbetween crimbo shopping so ill try and get some pics up by sunday. Also found out today that the heater matrix is leaking big time, so i might just take it out and bypass it for now. No warmth in the car maybe, but no wet rotting carpet either. Stick on number plate next on the list, its sitting on the dash at the mo. The cops have seen the car several times with no plate on it, but no pull as yet......... Just bought some stuff for it off ebay too. ;D |

The boot sticker is excellent  Get some 14's on it and a good dose of lowering and it'll be spot on!!! |

Ive not been on here for a while, and not alot has happened, but what HAS happened I'm about to tell. As the carb was knackered on the lada i decided to buy a new one, and a luck would have it a brand new Webber for a Lada Samara came up on ebay, so with a bit of imagination my mates dad (just cos he loves the thing) came up with a genius conversion containing; 1) A universal choke cable (for the throttle cable) 2) A random bracket found on the floor of his workshop 3) An old gate hinge 4) Two mountain bike brake adjusters 5) A varety of nuts, bolts and bits of metal It works a treat and as luck would have it the throttle pedal travel is exactly the same as that on the carb. To top it off I had a K+N air filter that I had on my first mini hanging about from like, 10 years ago. I knew id kept it for something! lol. When we came to fit it we knew we'd have to cut it to convert it from the SU fitment to the webber one. To get it to fit without the bolts on the baseplate fouling on the carb we had to turn it upside down, which in turn allowed us to 'loose' the two bolt holes for the SU fixing aswell! RESULT! The filter itself had some cracks in the rubber seal so some silicone sealant and electrical tape sorted that one out, and here it is  Now, what you cant see is the best bit. The exhaust fell off in two pieces, just behind the front resonator box, so back I went to mateys dad who made up an exhause for me out of....... a galvanised flag pole! as luck would have it it was the same diameter as the exhaust, so without the use of a pipe bender he cut/bent/welded the exhaust up to go over the axle and come out where it should. Bearing in mind it now has only one small resonater box and NO scilencers it sounds the nuts! Ive pulled up at traffic lights a couple of times and people that tried to race it, but as soon as they hear it they back off! Funny as! It realy does sound THAT good, all mouth, no trousers ;D Inside its got a nice period astrali steering wheel, nice wood gearnob (with huckleberry Hound as the centre badge, it had a BL logo in it and huckleberry hound was the only thing i had!). Personaly I realy don't like Astrali wheels, I'm more of a moto-lita man, but the Astrali wheel looks so right in there. I tried my moto-lita in there and it looked, well, WRONG!  As you can see no carpets either, slight waterleak from the heater matrix. Ive also got rid of the numberplate on the grill and its now got a stick on one.  Sorry its a bit blurred but its the best ive got at the moment. The car next to it was my old road car that got hit from behind on my way to work one day and as a result was written off. It got bangered yesterday in a blaze of glory and ended up looking like this-  RIP The Bilge Barge. |
