lol @ stu your alright mate...

erm when -- is when i get round to it! i think im gonna have a bash at getting em off tomorrow.

where -- on my drive way?!

how - erm with the aid of a whole can of wd40 and my electrical grinder to chop the bolts off!

ahh now the favour i could ask you to do all my dirty work but in this case how about you swap em for your lights and you get a nice cuppa tea when you deliver!? come round for em next week!? i have to check the rota but im working for the next 8 days in a row - so its going to be next week... it will probs cost you 15-20 quid in fuel as im only an hour away...

although you have to bear in mind its fasting time for us muslims so in the evening im eating and then praying.... so it measn your going to have to turn up in the day time i have to check the rota at work however im sure that  including wednesday im working 8 days in a row.. then i have a few days off..

in the mean time you could give me positive feedback (you as well Brett for that pressure thing!)

hows that sound buddy?   :wave

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .....................

to get the exhaust off - i would recommed you drop the ENTIRE exhaust - trust me on this one .. when i did the decat it was a real pain

much easier on the floor

i took the exhaust off the cab in about 1 hr ( OK the coupe took about 3 days !! )

swapping the lights for the back boxes ... oh shoot ... Hummmmmmmmmm thats certainly a hard bargain mate !

oohhhh crap i hate having to make a choice ... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww no fair

im now stuck between a rock and a hard place .. i need the back boxes and you want the lights

this is gonna sound really bad - but can i get back to you with this .................................hang on .. i will cut to the chase ( always a first for me )

when i go the car off adam - he decided in his wisdom to paint the rear clusters with black paint - leaving little circle for the lights to shine thru - i dont want to get shut of the lights if mine are gonna fail the MOT , but i need the exhaust to see if the car will run to see if it will make it to the MOT first ......

arggggghhhhhhhhhhh i dont know what to do .... this is really bad ....

Nas i dont know what to do

in the mean time .. im better at weekends for coming down or it means taking a day off work ... what are they like for you .. pending outcome of gut wrenching decission ...

mate you didnt realise that i have my old lights!? if you fail the MOT heres a promise you can lend mine! hard bargain maybe but you are really paying just 30 quid for the back boxes thats a bargain in my book, and they really arnt that bad you know...

[grinder]

LOL

what lights are yours ??

quickes

1 - are they working
2 - in one peice
3 - EGI ?

i wonder if they would fit the cab ?

[FD3SNuttah]

yes to all three!

[FD3SNuttah]

come on stu - i did say back boxes FREE you can get cheaper than that! and my cups of tea are the nicest in the world.

[FD3SNuttah]

well my new exhaust has arrived and its well nice! im going to have a look at the old one today i think.

[FD3SNuttah]

it was too cold so i stopped indoors so i didnt remove my old exhaust, im planning on getting it resprayed early next month so i thinking of swapping it after the lick of paint so i dont get any overspray on there. Grinder you cant still be thinking about it can you!? i had a proper look today mate. and its my y pipe thats dead, the back boxes are in pretty good nick for an fc!

i think it might just fit actually! i have a decat on there already as well, it bolts up to the standard y pipe and the hangers appear to be in the right place / angle.
aah the project is nearly there. al i have to do is fix the other sill (its a bit damaged from when a numpty jacked the car up on it, and the indicators i should be home free after my respray... lol just in time for winter !

[grinder]

right nas , im really confused now

so the back boxes are FREE - that i can compute..

so where do my rear lights fit into this equation ??

i have looked on multi map and Sheffield town centre is about 70 miles from me - so i have no idea where that puts you

Stu .. confused ?!???!

[FD3SNuttah]

that puts me very close actually, i work in sheff and its a 20 min commute..

i live in Doncaster mate my post code is DN4 7RD its just the next town north probably closer to you than what sheff is. if you jump on the m62 East and then head down the A1 south you see sunny donny! its not far mate, sometimes we drive to wilmslow road just for a kebab.

I want to swap my back boxes for the lights. i think that they are worth the same...

[grinder]

.................................  thinking .....................................

i will get you a defo answer tommorrow ... i still dont think the lights are worth the same as the exhaust - but this is something we need to thrash out ... i think the lights are worth more... for example :

Hiya Nas ,
 
just looked where doncaster is - your over 90 miles away .... so im looking at a possible 200 mile round trip - so that £20 - £25 in juice
 
this is getting more expensive by the day !! ( not to mention the shouting from the better half )
 
so let me get this right - you want me to drive 200 miles then do a straight swap .. lights for back boxes ??
 
hummmm to be honest Nas , thats not gonna happen
 
best deal i can come up with at this moment intime is :
 
i swap my back lights for your back boxes and EGI lights - and we meet up half way - we can compare goods at that point - i dont have that much free time on my hands these days ( if we can do that - i suppose we could do it at night time aswell )
 
let me know what you think
 
cheers
 
stu

[FD3SNuttah]

why dont i give you the rest of my car as well?

30 quid for the lights and 20 quid in fuel thats fifty pounds not a bad price for a pair of back boxes. good luck in finding an exhaust for cheaper!?

[grinder]

hummmmm

hows about i give you £30 for your back boxes then - i collect from your house - and if you can get some S5 lights cheaper then we all are happy

cheers Nas
