Did you spot it? The new phone? Fairly obvious. Ok, back to it. I had some plans afoot for other things too. Helper helped removing the old tandem suspension from the dry van. He was very good and putting the displaced nuts and bolts back in the holes in the old suspension. To be replaced by Lesu airbag simulation units. first one fitted And second, in a mild spread-axle configuration the D12 Mini could not, however, get it rolling.. ..so the appropriate equipment was called in

Mid 2000’s Bentley Continental. 😂 I know which of those two I'd rather be driving...and it ain't the Bentley! Same

I don't think I've ever seen another car with three number plate lights before. Couple of buses yes, but not another car I can think of. Mid 2000’s Bentley Continental. 😂

What have you priced it at? Possibly it’s too cheap. I find that sometimes it’s too cheap serious People seem to pass it by and it just gets messers.

Both close but both not quite. Still fun though.

Don’t not install hazard lights. They are a simple circuit if you use something like an MGB switch and you never know when and if you’ll need them.

Interestingly... I got exactly the same error when I posted this thread... even though it clearly did post! Moved into the thread outlining the ongoing board issues.

A small amount of googling reveals the VWSA colours were VWSA only colours. So the 140 colour code will not translate to any VWAG colour code sadly.

Front seats and front door cards are dead easy to swap, it’s all torx bolts, not sure on the rear, as I’ve never removed the back seats from one but I suspect it should be easy. I was never a fan of the 206 leather either, finding the sporty fabric seats much nicer and actually harder wearing.

That is the setup for the episode where he turns himself into a pickle, yes. At 3K you have plenty of revs left, you paid for the whole tachometer, may as well use it 😂

The hat is Pickle Rick. I suspect that is meaningless to you, being from an Adult Swim cartoon 3k at 70 is pretty normal for Peugeots. My 206SW 1.4 is exactly the same. ‘SpOrTy’

Will the gloss and Montana sit together or react? Paint and chemical reactions they have is another dark art to me. If it does on a test piece I’ll either just use barcoat isolator once the graf paint is keyed or flat it back off

I think now I'm happy to make a mark (to suit a tightening stud), drill through the roof and make a corresponding 'pie-cutter' hole upwards, in the headlining/board Surely taking the headliner board out of a Getz or just dropping it down off the roof is a 15 minute job at best allowing you to see EXACTLY where the holes need to go and also not ruining the headliner?

Mad, really, that VW put them in such a potentially vulnerable position. VW, Vauxhall/Opel, fiat, etc etc. fairly common for water sensitive parts to be fitted in stupid places. See also, BMW audio/pic/infotainment control modules in the boot.
