mrbeige 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Christ, what a response! To be fair, I'm well pleased with her. Many thanks to Gav and Nikki for holding on to him for soo long, you both shall do so well. The History is massively impressive. All receipts (laminated into a folder :shock: ) and MOT's from new! It has been cherished I think. The bodywork isn't mint, but for a 17 year old car its pretty damn good! Needs a couple of things tidying up (bonnet and front wings) but apart from that and the odd 'Tesco' ding, its all good. The interior is in such good nick too, it shocking. :shock: Anyway, watch this space.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 4, 2008 Meet Gooney, son of Badcrumble! :lol: PMSL! :lol: Why Gooney? Is it because you're gonna model it on 'chunk'? Or his ugly mutant mate with the wonky eyes? I reckon you should stick with the crumble theme..... Shame it's not a blackberry metallic or it could have been a Blackberry crumble! How about an Ali theme? "Crumble in the jungle"?? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwdeviant 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Nice one Stuey glad to see he made it home safely! So when's the dreaded MOT? Want to see you out there in him ASAP! My vote for mods will be: 1/ Borbets! 2/ The "repossesion of my heater controls, along with all red switch gear! 3/ anything else lying around from The Crimble you still haven't sold! (PS I will have the exhaust from Crumble at the end of the month, stick a reserve on it please!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(PS I will have the exhaust from Crumble at the end of the month, stick a reserve on it please!) Well, Jon, I'll be MOT'ing Gooney once I've sorted a couple of things out on the 306, namely brakes and a service, but then it'll be in for MOT along with sorting out the central locking and fitting the Clifford alarm, but.... 1) The Borbets aren't going on it, and will be up for sale as soon as I re-polish the dishes. I fancy a change, and D90's are getting my vote at the mo... 2) Going to re-do the switch gear using Audi switch lamp filters, rather than red LEDs (not including the elec window switches which are fine 3) I've decided to put the Magnex on Gooney, sorry dude... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbeige 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Right, as I finshed what I needed to do on the 306 in good time, I did a couple of minor things to Gooney today. Fitted Lupo wipers and replaced the broken drivers door pin, and started to investigate why the central locking is non-functional. The battery was nearly flat, it didn't turn the starter over and needs a good charge. I'll probabl take it to work, as we've got a heavy duty charger there. Next weekend, I'll try and sort the central locking, adjust the handbrake and give it the once over ready for the MOT :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renson 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Sorry Stu, Won't be today, got a phone call saying my mate won't be at work today because he's stuck in spain. Don't know how that happened but my boss was annoyed with me because i have him off and another one of my engineers called in sick. Work that out, sometimes i can never win. I will have a word with him as soon as he is back. Did you do much to the gooney over the weekend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
