	Panic I've just found out I'm moving house to start a new job in less than 2 weeks time so I'm spring-cleaning a bit early this year ;D Most bits can be collected from Bishop Auckland DL14 or Cramlington NE23 or anywhere on the A1 along the way. Prefer cash-on-collection or Pony Express, postage will be extra (I'm short of time and not looking for extra things to do ) Latest edit : Pressure washer added (bargain price ) Perspex - some now gone, quantities updated Pricedrop on MGB Rostyle rims- grab a bargain ;D Add : 6mm perspex joblot Huge double glazed window Bike jacket & waterproofs £100 Conway fold-down trailer tent, spares or repairs Has been good for us touring Scottish Highlands etc. Cover went missing at Christmas (same day I left negative feedback on Ebay ), main canvas now badly water damaged. Good (dipped? galvanised?) chassis, trailer side & floor are solid, good hubs, brakes work, both tyres + spare are very good, rear of trailer hooks off to make handy cooker / bench unit (see pic), lighting board built-in and believed working 100%, porch awning (the bit with windows) has been dry-stored and is good, ~~SHMBO unsure if 1 pole has gone missing from the awning~~ All poles believed present & correct Try drying it out and see if you can clean it up or strip the canvas to get a decent box trailer (and a cooker unit you can sell on Ebay) i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT1139_copy.jpg £10 Genuine Retro caravan towing mirrors by Raydot, pair, used but still in their packet and as-new £50 Scorpion stainless back box to fit E36 shape BMW 325i / 328i, "Twin DTM" style? Sounds great, flows well, dent in side of box (not visible when fitted), no other damage but needs a good clean. more - i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/DSC00198.jpg?t=1257790573 £75 ~~£100~~ MGB 14" Rostyle rims (no tyres), set of 5, decent paint, spare has no center cap, believed to be 4 1/2" ( 114mm) PCD, have been told offset suits Scimitar £50 Box-o-bits to go with Ford Sierra TD 1.8 motor (engine not included) from memory there's turbo (believed good), starter, inj pump, pair front hubs with calipers, alternator, new belts + bits £25 Rover, pair wing / door mirrors, ( removed from 1970's V8 P6 ?) i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2024-1.jpg?t=1318008001 £10 Portable high-power pressure washer with lance, works well but no longer needed hence bargain price Very effective! Use hosepipe to feed water in, connect to 240v mains, get high pressure out. Label reads "Make : Performance Power, 240v, 85 bar pressure (max 100 bar), max input pressure 120 bar." Maybe a B&Q brand model ? Not same as below but similar style (mine has no wheels or front handle) £25 Joblot car hi-fi's (cassettes, CDs, retro to modern Fiat/Peugeot etc), ring for details. I bought a job-lot from a breakers that was closing down to get 2 of the items, rest are surplus - some still untested), I think maybe a dozen mixed units + a CD changer ?? Coded units have codes with them. Bike related stuff below - click for pics £10 Black Textile motorbike jacket with padding/protection, size medium, good make (Spada). Tidy used condition. £20 Genuine BMW tank bag, as-new (possibly unused but shop soiled), should have an elasticated zipper to fasten to rear of tank (same as zip on 2 piece leathers ) but it's missing i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/IMGP0144.jpg £10 Givi (monolock or monokey??) luggage box mounting plate, ex-display, i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/IMGP0141.jpg £10 another Givi (monolock or monokey??) luggage box mounting plate, ex-display (top cover + rubber feet missing) i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/IMGP0142.jpg Maybe same as www.hard-motorcycle-luggage.co.uk/acatalog/monolock_plates.html £50 Kawasaki Gpz600R incomplete remains - no frame, engine, loom, tank, carbs, radiator.

	Will the e36 back box fit a 'vert? does it marry up to the rest of a stock system or does it need the rest to be scorpion..?

No need for Scorpion front section, just unbolt the (very heavy) stock BMW back section and this goes on in it's place It was on my "N" plate ('96 ?) E36 328i 4-door saloon - so if your 'vert has same back section as that it should fit yours Fitment guide according to Ebay - if it lists yours (and Ebay is right : it sounds like we have a winner ;D www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-328-E36-EXHAUST-SCORPION-CAT-BACK-TWIN-3-STW-TAIL-/330532412088?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item4cf5445ab8 Let me know ... or buy from Ebay ready-polished for only £348

Will try tomorrow but can only put the main section up - we have no space for the outside awning / window room as it doubles size of the tent (but that bit is good and dry - no change from pic above) Curious to know if you're looking at using it, restoring it, stripping it for a trailer, or using it for a dry storage / kids den? (might also help me give you more info to help you decide ) For info - was towing fine when we parked it up last year, no reason to think it won't hitch up and tow away happily tomorrow if needed.

	Ive being looking at getting one for awhile to use for camping as we`ve two young kids and it`d be handy to have something like this. Really wanted to know how bad the staines are on the canvess and has it started rotting it at all?

Really wanted to know how bad the staines are on the canvess and has it started rotting it at all? We've put it up, some bits not good others are clean and tidy, no need to scrap it just yet but end result will depend on time & cash spent on it. Internals ;D Main body, floor, and sides are dry and good, kitchen unit has been stored indoors so is fine. When up, it has a center seated & storage area with double bed at either side (so 2x double beds) ;D Center area is below everything when it's packed so is still good and dry. ;D There are curtains for all the windows, these are dry-stored and good. ;D Each bed has an internal "bedroom" tent around it - these internal tents are dry-stored and good. ;D The bed frames are box steel - frames are good. Bed bases are hardboard / fibreboard sheet on metal frame. One bed is very wet, other is wet at one edge. Both these need drying & checking, or maybe easier to just replace both? Part wet base i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2119.jpg both matresses & covers are wet, dry them and check or maybe just replace both? Outer Canvas ;D Porch awning (with windows) is dry stored and very good ;D The "missing" pole has been found so I'm happy all poles are now here ;D ;D Front, front window, and rear (with zipper door) are good, no marks or damage Roof (both halves) and nearside canvas are ok, no damage (some light marks that will clean up easily) Roof - offside i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2124.jpg Roof & canvas - nearside i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2118.jpg "THE" problem - offside canvas wall has lots off marking (mould ?) and a short hole (tear? rip? water damage??), I have patched similar on my 2 man tent with gaffa tape and it's still holding good after 10 years, never tried on a big canvas. Other option would be to get somewhere with a heavy duty sewing machine to cut out the marked piece and put a new section in (I got the car hood reshaped and new patch put in for about £20 several years ago) Outside i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2123.jpg Inside (don't forget there's a tidy bedroom tent to go over the bed - not fitted in the photo) i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2120.jpg Closeup showing all the gory details i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/Nomad_Geordie/PICT2122.jpg You now know as much as I do, my thoughts would be ... Option A (cheap 'n' cheerful fix) - lots of scrubbing, dry the bed bases and gaffa-tape the rip, see what happens. Option B (decent job) - clean the roof, 2x new ply bed bases, marked & torn canvas section cut out and replacement stitched in and you've got yourself a nice clean outfit. (Option A is free and you've lost nothing but time if it doesn't work...) Tent is now up to get air through it, if you need more pics can you let me know before we pack it away later today

Thanks for the update & positive vibes Reason it's for sale now is so it's sorted before I move house, if it needs to go on Ebay I'll find somewhere to keep it until Easter when the suns out and folk are planning for summer

Remaining bits, all 6mm : short strips 6" x 36" qty approx 15 long (very long ;D) strips, approx 10" x 8' (8 foot long ), qty maybe 15? 20? more? The long bits are at Cramlington so I can't count tonight, I can bring them to Bishop but maybe not in 1 trip. Square bits + some other bits in the pic now used / spoken for, just about all of the long bits in the pic are still here. This 6mm stuff cost how much new 2400mm x 1220mm (about 5 of my big sheets together) for £165 www.theplasticshop.co.uk/perspex-sheet-extruded-clear-2mm-to-6mm-thick-3366-0.html Does £75 for the lot sound like a bargain for you ;D (might even be able to throw in free delivery on the big bits - if I'm bringing it from Cramilngton I'd might as well drop it at yours on the way to Bishop )

	General update Housemove has been put back to next weekend (in time for Feb 20th). Most of the goodies are still for sale but after that I'll be based around Newcastle during the week and visiting Bishop at weekends. Happy to shuffle bits around on my weekly trips but you now know where to catch me, and when ;D I've got 1 week left at Bishop if you want to catch me before I move

Paypal + Pony Express No mad rush to get it shifted as it's in storage, it costs you nothing to put a wanted in the Pony Express section and see if anyone can help. It's at Cramlington now, I can move it to Bishop if it helps for collection but will need about a weeks notice.

I'll be at Cramlington (NE23) evenings during the week, Bishop Auckland (DL14) most weekends. Box is now at Cramlington, happy to shift it to Bishop if it makes pickup easier. Cramlington is handy for A1 or A19 pickup, Bishop is 60 miles South (closer to you?) but not near any major routes.
