Julian, don't be humble, show your breeding. Shouldn't that be thirty, love.
An interesting contest tennis, scoring game by game leads to the surprising fact that a player may lose a match despite winning the majority of points played..........?

HER WE ARE BACK TO THE COLOUR SCHEME,A WHITE BOOTLID IS WHAT IS REQUIRED............BUT THIS IS A RED ONE
THE ORIGINAL BLACK ONE WAS FULL OF RUST AND DID NOT FIT PARTICULARLY WELL..............TRIED A BLUE BOOTLID ,BUT THAT DIDN'T FIT WELLL EITHER..............
TRIED THE RED ONE,BUT STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THE CURVATURE OF THE 'POINTY'' BITS AT THE TOP OF THE BOOTLID...........................SO PAINSTAKING,SHAPING WITH BELT SANDER AND METAL-FILING CORRECTED THIS...............

BEFORE,RUBBING DOWN,PRIMING,GETTING RID OF A FEW DENTS,AND A TWO-TONE COLOUR SCHEME................

The guy I was talking to in Halfords this morning has a few Uno turbo's. Apparently, if you replace the T2 with a T3 you can get up to 190 hp! I know you aren't really crazy for turbo's Birdie - but I reckon that'd be a hoot to drive! Are you going to put some pictures in your last post? Seems like they're missing. When you're finished your Clarion you can start fixing the rust on my 99!

WELL EJENNER LAD,BEING A COMPUTER ORIENTATED CHAP.........YOU MAY WELL LIKE TO COME ROUND ONE DAY AND SORT OUT MY,ANTIQUATED TECHNOLOGICAL CONTRAPTION,SUCH THAT IT STOPS MALFUNCTIONING.........................

Have you removed all of the soundproofing from the inside floor of the car, what was the weight of it ?

Did you use paint stripper to remove all the sealer/soundproofing, i had to do a few patches around rust holes and used POR strip to remove the gunk, could imagine it getting quite expensive on a whole car though

Think of something intelligent, then pretend you read it here.

The best and most effective way to remove underseal is to use liquid nitrogen.

What dark secret does that black boot hold ?
I must look again at daybreak !
"Thinks" ----perhaps the midnight oil ran out.

NOPE.I HAVENT REMOVED THE INTERIOR FLOOR SOUNDPROOFING YET............COS THE CAR IS FULL OF STUFF INSIDE

PERSONALLY I WOULDN'T PUT PAINT-STRIPPER ANYWHERE NEAR MY CAR..............FUMES IT GIVES OFF,THE MESS IT MAKES.......AND VERY DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF THE RESIDUE..............OF COURSE THAT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL

I CHISEL THE SOUNDPROOFING OUT WITH A DECENT OLD ''WOOD CHISEL'' AND A RUBBER MALLET...............IT IS SOUL -DESTROYING STUFF,AND MUCH EASIER TO DO IN THE WINTER,WHEN IT TENDS TO BREAK UP,EASIER.............
IT WASN'T EVER MEANT TO COME OUT AGAIN

I HAD JUST RUN OUT OF LIQUID NITROGEN...............WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT
