Hiya
Manage to blag another set of shelves from work today , so thought i would spend an hour in the garage and have a bit of a tidy up
Didnt realise i had soo much stuff knocking around in there .. heres a quick list of what i found ( although some of the stuff was rather obvious as you cant miss it )
1 - set of 15inch USA rims of a EGI with tyres
2 - set of 17\'s with tyres
3 - 2 spare tyres for the 17\'s as they need changing
4 - 2 * UK down pipe with cats
5 - centre cat
6 - 3 boxes of switches from the inside
7 - clock cluster surround
8 - a random ebay internal brace ( fits behind the front seats over over the tunnel )
9 - Greddy compression tube ( new in box )
10 - partial set of poly bushes ( prob about 10-14 of them )
11 - rear mud flaps ( i can remember getting these from aus years back )
12 - 3 * stock air boxes
13 - set of stock mirrors
14 - set of USA aero mirrors
15 - Apexi safc D1 limited edition ( or i think it is ! )
16 - some sort of G meter ( bought of prof years back )
17 - set of blanking plates ( might be off prof , no idea )
18 - induction cone ( not sure if it will fit or not )
19 - spare headlight cover
20 - vented headlight cover ( fibre glass )
21 - parcel shelf ( dont even have a coupe !! LOL )
cant believe i had so much random stuff kicking around !! LOL
its amazing what you buy , then never get around to fitting
I have some drift mirrors in the loft aswell .. must have bought them about 5 years ago - and they are just sat in a box
Then there are other random bits kicking around the house dual alt pulley , tannaue covers etc , UK front number plate surround, couple of ecus etc..
There are some random naff looking 16 inch split rims in the back garden that i have never been able to identify
just wish i could actually get the car in the garage for fitting some of this stuff , rather than it being sat on the front lawn looking sorry for itself ( and this is NOT the weather to even think about working on a car outside )
I think someone was looking for a set of US mirrors a bit back and I know Ben M was looking for a compression tube and blanking plates, ive not seen many of those \'B pillar\' braces fitted as yet!
Only bits I have of use in the garage is a fully bridgeported Hayward rotary engine, a TA45 and a grands worth of fueling bits :rollin
yours sounds more exciting than mine though pal :D
i didnt say i was selling any of it - it was more that i was shocked what i found
eventually if/when i find a ARC TMIC , i will need the compression tube
I\'m not shocked in the slightest :Giggle
Shaun
ha ha ha cheers buddy !
Neither am I Shaun. I remember him telling me about half of that stuff when I first bought my FC. Stu, if the parcel shelf is black and in good nik I\'ll take it off your hands.
Ade
its black i know that , no idea of the condition of it though ( might sag a bit :( )
*uses Jedi mind trick* ~ "you do want to sell me that compression tube" ;)
Cool find though mate, I was held expecting you to find a new gearbox :Giggle
*FC vultures start to circle* :D
Heh! nice haul Stu :Giggle
I remember just seeing what was in the house when he lived next door to John !
We are all just as bad.

Fortunately Grinder is too tight to own a rifle ;)
If he keeps looking he may actually find one in the garage :Giggle

Nah there is a .22 rifle in there aswell ;)
i was looking at the poly bushes in there .. is there any advantage of even attempting to fit them ??
Granted the car is a knocking on a few years old - would it make a world of difference as its a very nice drive already ?
Poly bushes can stiffen up the ride and give a more positive feel when you turn in.
Keep hold of them till the weather is better.
Shaun
However Stu, that compression tube is no use to you. I\'ll look after it for you, I\'m sure you don\'t want it taking up that space in the garage :Giggle
and that parcel shelf i\'ll be happy to look after for you in my unit ;) infact if you just want to put it all in the unit i\'ll keep it nice and \'safe\' for you ;)

I feel a group poly bushing session coming on! I have a set to fit as well boys!
I cleared through in november and slung the lot on flea bay, random stuff like gas valves, boiler spares , paint and power tools.
Surprising what people buy, made £480 to cover christmas presents lol.
^^ thats impressive !
im on the hunt for a unit at the mo - might have found one in houghton ( shaun will know where that is ! )
but i need something like that , so i can put in the rex in there and work on her with ease
and im liking the offers of " i will keep that safe for you " ;)
In all seriousness, if you do decide to flog anything I\'m first on the list for that compression tube! ;)
Is that round Chorley / Bolton area ??? Does ring a bell !
Shaun
Shaun,
errr more of brindle area or bamber bridge - prob closer to you than me to be honest ?
oops, I thought it was closer to you. What road is it off ??
Shaun
its in the middle of houghton .. hang on a sec .......
try this

only downside is that its about 30 mins from me .. so not close to just bob down to :(
7.1 miles and 16mins from you ( google maps is very handy - i could pin point your FD in your drive way ! )
Looks quite nice. How much are they wanting a week for it ?
Shaun
its up for 190 a month , but the chap i spoke to ( knows the owner ) says its been empty for about 3 months , and she would prob take about £30 - £40 a week for it
if you go direct aswell - you miss the estate agent fee\'s aswell .. i have the owners phone number just incase ;)
which if you can split - its pretty cheap ( depends on how big it is on the inside )
my only issue is its a fair trek away - and you cant just bob home if you forget something :(
I know what you mean. Even for me its a good distance away.
I\'d rather sort out the garage here and make it bigger, eventually !
