So the truck needs the sills replacing/patching and a few other little things doing for the mot.

I don't work Wednesdays or Sundays so either of these if possible. I'd like it to have a mot before the laning day start of February if possible.

So what dates can people do?

[fudge]

well you have a welder the sils should be an easy job..

pity im about 3h away from you..

[hipo1024]

Should be a easy job. But trying to hold the new sill in place wile trying to weld it isn't so easy plus more people means the work seems more fun (social side of things)

[fudge]

well ive managed to do 5 sils now on my own.. it isnt hard.. just use a jack to hold the steel and then tack it on..

[gregster]

More fun if there is more of you though....

[bobbinsjob]

I would Dan but I ain't off until Feb now

[andytats]

Sorry buddy but it's really difficult for us at the moment working Monday to Friday
One weekend we have our eldest granddaughter then the other we go and see our son in prison plus I have jobs to do on my cars and a sleep would be nice

Hi Dan,
I can probably do the 19th Jan if that's any help.

[hipo1024]

The 19th is ace! But due to the mot running out you'd need to get to Cambridge/mepal. I don't know how far away you are but if you can make it then 2 extra hands will make it a fair bit easier

[geeks]

I will try and make it as well as it isnt a million miles away. Will depend on if i can get a stamp from SWMBO. Might bring the Ted along as well, providing he gets the same stamp

[andytats]

I'm going up the Newmarket prison on Sunday morning so I could pop in for a couple of hours on my way back ( can't give a time apart from 1-2pm)

[andytats]

If tomorrow is ok for a couple of hours you will need to pm me your address cos I can't remember it.
And do you have a welder still and some metal for the sills

[bobbinsjob]

He'd better still have a welder. He's got my MIG pmsl

[hipo1024]

Lol yes I still have it. I'm hoping mine will make its way to mine soon as it's been gone 11 months now :/

[vauxsqueeks]

[hipo1024]

Yes if you could please I'll be getting the new sills cut and folded tomorrow so with some luck it should be a cut and weld type affair but I'm not holding me breath.
Job list:
Sill replacement
Cv boot
O/s/f brake pads sticking
Squeaky bj to find
Sort front bumper

Then if we have time (haha) do a compression test of the 2.2 vectra / check the timing on It.

Feel free to bring tools that you feel maybe useful. I have most things but it's better to be safe than sorry.

The trucks near addenbrookes. I'll Pm you the exact address tomorrow

[hipo1024]

Actually if anyone has welding magnets (so the panels are flush) and a decent drill with drill bits because my not so cordless cordless drill isn't the quickest of drills lol

[andytats]

Dan don't forget to get a BIG tub of rust killer

[bobbinsjob]

I've got welding magnets if anyone is passing on the way

[Xplorer]

Sorry Dan It's the ole mans 70th birthday on sunday, so it's a family day an out for a meal
