Breaking Moomin... :(

[vixen_fix]

I decided to take the shocks off at the bottom because I was turning the nipple into mince with the mole grips
We're back on wheels again, didn't end up cable tying the springs in but I think I will put the corsa shocks on for extra piece of mind. Heard a twang as I first set off to test 'em, the car's still supported so guessing the spring wasn't quite sat in properly and sorted itself. Back lookms lower than the front now on one side (slightly bigger profile tyre ont back)

Oh dear that's not good. Now you're going to have to lower the front some more. That's how it all starts... give it a few months and you'll be so low you scrape on even the slightest speed bump

Me likey.
Thoroughly enjoyed my journey to and from work today. 50mph speed limit () wi a few nice bends. Soooo wonderful!!

I've got meself some 13'' 'Nissan by fondmetal' 5 spoke alloys to go on. Can I get away with using the steel wheel nuts?

Been a bit quiet for a while, no catastrophic suspension failure just been busy working on interior.

After being sent headlights off an almera being broken on fleabay, arguing with the seller, being told that the lights I was asking for were called side lights and that cars do not have front fog lights

They finally a month later arrive!!!

 

[vixen_fix]

Quick fiddle around to test them....
Let there be light!

Where did you get the roof bars from mate and how much were they ?

 

[vixen_fix]

Our local car accessory shop are Thule dealers. The full kit would set you back £150 approx. Very decent kit though.

 

[Charlie123]

Ahh ok thanks

How did you make this glorious light shine forth?...Almera stalk and 9F920 relay or homemade spaghetti wiring and new button?

The green and pink is Dulux emulsion (suprisingly tough stuff!), the black simonz rattle can, sposed to matt but nevermind.

Think I've spent £20 on the paint job and material inside, good ol' car boot sales and rummaging through the shed for old paint.

 

[Magpie42]

Niiiice!

I might go magnolia and add a splash of colour by using brightly coloured accessories and a feature wall....

...er.

Hahaha! May I recommend a Damask design paper? Flocked, naturally. Swarve as a sir can get.

Couldn't wait, head torch on... and boom!

 

[Magpie42]

...now I'm thinking of a small cactus garden in the top of the dash and venetian blinds in the back...

Venetian blinds would be awesome!

Somebody needs to do this.

The problem would be that they'd rattle like anything...especially at the sort of mental speeds I drive (37mph, 41mph, 28.3mph, etc.)

Hey guys....been a long time since I was on and tables have turned completely around now. So much so that Moomin is off the road and being broken!
I had a suicidal tree jump out at me one night....

So I fixed it.... with brute force and ignorance

He was ran for a good few months afterwards but unfortunately, his MOT ran out on the 15th and after noticing the rear footwell was slightly spongey under foot one day, I don't think he'll make it through another without some serious time/money.

Not sure whether I can post on hear about bits up for grabs? Sorry if not but basically whatever you see is available. Just ask. I'll find out where I can post stuff for sale if I can.

Much love guys, hope you're all well.

That sucks

Stupid trees.
