Old cars

Post by Richy »

I hate old cars, because my brakes are seized and i cant do them yet i decided to do my suspension. Soaked it in wd40 last night and went out to do it today. got the top nut off no problem then went down to the bottom. End of the bolt snaps off with first attempt, so now im stuck with the bolt inside it and the nut on the end wont turn for S*!t. :( and i dont have a car

If the Civic VT was in production I wouldv'e had one.

The closest thing is an import. And then it may need a mechanical rebuild to make it 'new again'.

Your still looking at whey under 7 grand. Half the price of today's equivalent model.

If only I had thought some time ago and borrowed some money :roll:

Until then your stuck with DIY motoring :wink: And the 4G IS the most economical way I have found - on a pound per smile basis with some practicality- and for a few ££ you can have some more fun :lol:

Tools are the key, invest well and reap the rewards :top:
