Joycey's 2.0 Astra Sport

[Mr.Negative]

Whats happening now with it then? Cant you get her fixed?

 

[Joycey]

Bad times

 

[Purpledrumstick]

What a waste man. You need to get her sorted

 

[bobcat]

+1 to that sort it out joycey!

 

[Joycey]

Cant do anything until its being kept some where that's more permanent and suitable for working on it tbh

And the distinct lack of about £1500-2000 it probably needs spending on it doesn't help either..

 

[Joycey]

Just started renting this private garage for £76 a month which is going to be the sports new home for the next year or so...

She'll do

 

[Mr.Negative]

So will you be working on fixing it in here? Is it close by for you?

 

[BenAstra]

That's a lot of money for a car to just sit in. Hurry up and get it back on the road!!!

Na wont be working on it mate it's just for storage of the car and any other stuff i need to keep in there like sets of wheels ect? It's about 5-10 mins drive away

Alot of love for it tho mate tbh? Anybody else would of just scraped it by now for needing half as much work as this actually does? And there's no hurrying about it lol if it just needed the brakes doing and a mot i would of done it ages ago but it's not quite as simple as that lol?

Nope as above mate just some where more permenant to keep it that's all? Garage is bone dry to and a bit bigger than it actually looks lol

 

[BenAstra]

So what exactly does it need?

Too long to list lol everything basically? Including welding and new brake lines front to rear...

 

[Joycey]

Well it's been moved into it's new home now

A rather lovely young lady i know who's into her cars was nice enough to tow me and everything went fairly smoothly which was good...

 

[Kev_mk3]

[diceboy]

That garage looks nice and dry mate. hope to see some posts of you getting the old girl back on the road soon. Not sure about your new sticker in the back window though.

Indeed! Don't think it liked being dragged out of its pit too much tho lol!

Yeah it seems fairly dry, just full of huge ****ing spiders that keep coming back no matter how much i try and get rid of them! And i doubt there is gonna be many posts like that in the near future as this is mostly just for storing it tbh and not allowed to work on it there anyway from what i can gather?

Mine was used as a spray booth and many MANY other things (all car and bike related )
I had electric from an inverter and car batteries.... I was in there most nights from when I finished work (2.30pm) until about midnight a lot of the time with my music blearing out and me working on the car. I got well known for it in the end.... people see my car and say "oh! its you! you work on your car at blah blah blah in a garage all the time don't you?" lol.... complete strnagers at that!

Is it close to you where the garage is?

 

[Joycey]

No mate it's fairly far away and backs on to a load to of old peoples houses in really quiet area so not gonna start making a load of noise tbh? Plus i think the land lord would get ****ed off tbh so i'd rather not risk it?

 

[Joycey]

It's still in there!... Some where lol

 

[Purpledrumstick]

Holy s**t lol
