Post by: dandan on December 20, 2011, 12:53:57 PM
Hello everyone,
Don\'t know if anyone remembers me, it\'s been a while but after about, er, 5 years, i\'m back in an FD!

Belonged to Stormbleeder on here, me and him did all the work on it up to now, and now it belongs to me, which i\'m dead pleased about.
I\'ve got myself a wicked new job at Aston Martin and the money is flowing in so I can afford to treat this car to all the good stuff. :)

Loads of plans in the pipeline to get it looking right, the engine is sorted as far as i\'m concerned, just everything else to modify then...

While I have your attention, I\'m on the hunt for a stock set of rear lights if anyone local to either Southampton or Warwickshire has some they don\'t want... :)

Cheers, Aston is pretty cool, it beats the hell out of making signs which was my last job!
Yeah basically everything bar the engine is on my \'to do\' list, I want to make this one really special...
It\'s currently wrapped in matt black, yeah, it\'s pretty tatty but does the job of hiding the red/pink paintwork for now. :)

Welcome back Dan. I don\'t know if you remember, but we met a while back.

You came over to W\'looville to pick up an OS Giken clutch for your 200SX. Do you still have the S13?

Yeah I remember, it was a lovely sunny day. That clutch was top notch, cheers for that! sold the s13 in Feb and almost immediately regretted it, I think it quickly went through two or three owners and now it\'s been broken for bits, which is ridiculous as it was a good, solid car. bah.
Are you an RX man now then?

Hi Dave, long time no see, how\'s Bristol?
I am after a couple of bits as it goes, rear lights, front pre-99 bumper lights, drivers door interior plastic window trim pieces, the wing mirror end one and the door handle cover one, i\'ll probably have a much longer list once i\'ve really got to know the car...

dwarfslapper, I don\'t need the front lights but thanks, and i\'ve sourced some rears too but cheers for the offer!

Got myself a stock front bumper from Leeroy today, picking up a rear bumper in Jan, the stockpiling is beginning... :)

Dave, Just checked my snazzy new phone but all i can find is email addresses for you, got an airbus and a yahoo one, either of those still work?
Or my mobile number will be the same if you still have it...
