Gutted for you mate, that is a really bad run of luck your having! Hope it gets repaired, don't want to see another nugget get binned Ad

Looks really nice mate, is this the one that was advertised on ebay from a dealer? Good to see another yellow one! Ad

You don't mess around do you mate?!? Looking good 8)

Thats why you can't have nice things anymore.... Too many f$%king jealous people about. Had my old Mk2 Golf done twice in about six months, once outside a hotel, once outside the cinema. Didn't bother replaceing it with decent stuff after that. :mad: :mad: Ad

OK all sorted thanks for your input chrishill, the previous owner had bodged the wiring and rather than unclipping the wires for the rear speakers (presume he had a parcel shelf setup- fitted) had cut the wiring further down. Reconnected these now all sorted! Thanks Ad

Hi Got a couple of questions about the standard speaker setup on a 1989 valver..... - The previous owner had hacked about with the wiring to fit the stereo and as a result only the front speakers are working. So today took the stereo out and checked (and corrected some of the wiring :mad: ) plugged the stereo back in expecting it to work but...... still not working. Any ideas why not?? - Where are the speaker wires routed to the rear speakers? - How do you remove the rear speakers? Thanks in advance Adam

Sounds like the electric power steering on the girlfriends old Mini :pukeleft:

I'll give that a go then, thanks mate

Thanks for all the comments! carpy25, Think we're going to leave the sidestrips off, they don't seem to do any good anyway as they are/were so low down on the doors (people tend to bump them higher)

Looking really nice, one of my favourite colours on the C

Hi The fan on the girlfriends G-plate valver is noisy after the engine is cut off, is it possible to lubricate/oil/grease the fan? Thanks Adam

I wasn't sure about the crystals when I first saw them but they've really grown on me now.

Yeah pop round whenever mate..... I'm still waiting for a go in the VR6 :lol:

Oh yeah and as you can see we've binned the bump-strips

The car is back from being painted and all I can say is wow! Superb job done at a great price (Cheers Si!) I'll let the before and after pictures do some before and after shots... The yellow doesn't look bright in these pictures but thats the camera/weather and not the eye-hurtingly bright paintwork :D (And yes I know they've put the 16v Badge back in the wrong place :oops: , i'll be sorting that tomorrow)

Done Still behind the Volvo 1800E (28%) and the '65 Corvair Corsa turbo cabrio :(

Thanks all, well you can't blame the girlfriend for trying!

Hi Someone with a working ETKA must be able to tell me..... I know its a 16v badge of some sorts but for which vehicle?? Thanks Adam

Thats not appealing at all........ have your eyes stopped working!?!

Really sorry to hear that mate but i'm sure it will work itself out, the car is fixable and new jobs are out there!

Update..... Booked in for paint 11-15 December, bargain price (cheers Si) I'll post some before and after shots when its done.

HI As above really, what should I use to get rid of the old paint on the sebring centres? Thanks Adam

Charlie's just read all your comments and she thanks you for them, she's just got to get her saving hat on now so she can get it all one colour! Thanks Adam

mattnorgrove, khurrado, Gwen Its something to do with a Gwen Steffani Song (Something about Bananas) :roll:

Hello All Been on here a while (used to have a Inca Blue 16v) but now spend most of my time playing/sorting out the Girlfriends Nugget that she has named "Gwen" :? Anyway thought i'd stick some piccies up. Plans for the future? - Refurb the wheels and fit the new centres when they arrive (if they arrive...... stupid post office ) - Sort out the paint - Sort out the dodgy wiring of the stereo.
