VJ is going back to my mechanic next week for another big session. My wallet is cringing in fear already.

 

I have to prepare a Job Card but will include such items as:

 

Fogs

Stiff throttle cable

Fit replacement cruise control vacuum actuator

Steering wheel shimmy at 60mph

Lumpy idle

Advice on that nasty screen chip

ABS light comes on sometimes

 

Not a very long list considering the amount of repairs VJ has recently received. I expected more things to need fettling.

 

 

I may also have some coachwork repairs using items from my hoard:

 

Fit & spray door(s)

Fit better bumper chromes or sexy BBS front spoiler

Fit & spray bootlid – one without massive rust holes where the spoiler fits

Fit & spray bonnet – current one rusty around the hinge mounts

 

Would have been a lot simpler & vastly cheaper to buy a mint honey in the first place, like Rob does.

 

here is VJ:

I thought with all those £ signs in the title, this had to be a political / current affairs post from B7 VP ...but I was wrong.

Nice backdrop tho Philip .. Take it theres a hosepipe ban in Essex at the minute?

very good spelling Mark, who typed it for you?

I might save the BBS for my next project, Polaris 735i 1986 model.

Thanks for the positive comments on the E38 rims. I like 'em.
