My drilling/b&d pillar set-up is only 3/8" 😕. I clamped a 'spare'(knackered) 13MM into the drill chuck... bit wobbly TBH 🤦 I bit the bullet and popped £10 delivered, on a Milwaukee 13MM n.o.s. key chuck, screw in 1/2"*20. Coming soon. Having this cobbled up pillar will make all my DIY holes So.So.Soo much easier 👌 OVIMOR

This looks the dog's danglies, I have to say. Missed out on a 47k 1.6 Getz a few weeks back. 'You snooze...you lose' The 1.4 is a 'screamer - shortstroke' = the 1.6 block size but different crank. Motoring press seemed to praise the 'freerevving' nature, Vs 1.6 😉 ... mine goes like 'stabbed rat' 🚙💨 OVIMOR

A friend in Russia just completed this ones rust repairs. Guess some preventative rustproofing/retardant would be advised.

🎱 fitted 😎👌 Drilled 12mm x 35mm deep, a really hard/jammed fit on stick = not moving!! Feels real smooth, and the 'aged, yellow ivory' tone [of the white] is quite mellow.... £5 well spent 🥳 OVIMOR

I drove over to Washington (where Nissan hails..) to collect these NOS pads. Had an interesting chat with the eBay seller... he is a fellow RWD Skoda enthusiast 👍. Good deal on the pads @£5.95, for 'stock' in hand 😉 OVIMOR

People do consider 'front mudflaps' a bit 60's... As my new wheels are wider track, I get muck up the wing/door join... These are neat n sweet 👍 .... replaced wipers & Matt painted arms too! OVIMOR

I always thought those wheels were "emergency only" and carried a speed warning. Every days a school day.

I always thought those wheels were "emergency only" and carried a speed warning. That's because the tyre and wheel sizes are different to the ones fitted to the car.

Done 71k Oil Change 👍 .... Ahh, but!! Oil Filter won't unscrew/fitted by Gorilla 🤬 My strap webbing wrench + grit paper won't [EVEN with a cheater pipe 😮] My oily rag local spannerman is going to wizz me up, on his lift... And get 'proper heavy' on it 🛠️. FFS.... Really not brain surgery to twist on an oil filter 🙄.... OVIMOR

Some 'preliminary strategy' has been given consideration, I have a mind to truncate the rear rail foot....... as shown 🤔 Both ends are cast alloy, hollow but have webs for the retaining bolts. My plans envisage an alloy plate fixed/screwed to the underside of each foot + 3M super stikkie tape [the plate will be marginally wider than the actual foot profile, so as to maximise sticking effect] The tubes are removable, either end, and will need some shortening!! Gloss black 😯 OVIMOR
