The car does sit for a while from time to time as its not a daily,thats another thing to take into consideration

Car is on a private driveway overnight .blocked in by other cars but i'll be looking into the different options cost wise

Yeah i will look into the local suppliers/fitters,just wondered what you guys thought.I had a Scorpion on my GT4 that was a massive pain in the ass

Looking at getting a Thatcham 1 or 2 certified alarm for the ol' gen4 ....suggestions and idea of costs would be helpful ,many thanks.Has to be of that spec for insurance purposes,obviously needed to be fitted professionally

cheers guys,thanks for the replies.Shaun,you have PM Hi Jeff,the thought had crossed my mind til i looked up the other day and saw how much they go for..

Shhhhh once i get the caps you'll be the first person i'll come to

Having sold on my OZ's,the centre caps had to go with them.Had them fitted on the Nakajima alloys that are on my car,these; Was always really a temporary fix,for aesthetic purposes as the Nakajima's didnt come with any originally.Never seen any caps for them,let alone another set of wheels like them for that matter.Anyhoo, now they dont have any centre caps again.Had a look on the bay at a couple,the diameter of the centre hole of the wheel itself is 58mm.Most seem to have 52 mm inner clip though when you read the small print. Which is obviously too small.Any recommendations?Dont have to be colour dependant particularly as I will obviously customise them later ;)Just need a good tight fit.

Yeah battery indoors,maybe bicarb or something in footwells in a dish for the damp,handbrake off,bung it on axle stands if poss

Thats a posh sump plug mate!

Ha yeah it was discussed down at Bek's yesterday.All's well that ends well,you got it now

Me too,though courtesy of Opie,not the Blue Oyster Bar like yours

Hear hear.makes me seethe,i tell you.

Got my new steering arms and gaiters from www.tcbparts.co.uk for my '87 st162 today,ordered at 445pm on Tuesday night.Super quick delivery,top quality parts and a good chat to boot. I've included the roll of packaging in the shot to show how well protected the arms were in delivery.Cheers guys

A massive behemoth of a trolley jack Is it wrong to be excited about a piece of garage equipment?Naah. The damn thing weighs over 40kg,it belongs in a workshop really.. :rolleyes: but I wanted it LOL And its super low entry.. cool.Even if I cant pick it up without my spinal column exploding...

I accept cash and cheques mate

Me too,a little present for the gen4.Cracking buy as well,Shaungtr is one of the club members that its a pleasure to know.

Problem with a smart repair on a bumper,its hard to blend in a small area.and yours is one of the harder colours they have to deal with,believe it or not.

Most Chipsaway smart repairs are around 120 quid

TBH any car ive had picked up hasn't been a runner as ive stripped it down to the bones.theyll drag it on there if they have to

Stunning pic ,that. You can run the car ok for a short distance like that,even messing with the air should at least get it to kick over,even if it runs like a Vauxhall bag 'o' s***e itll move.But from a scrappage point of view,they will get it on whatever they bring some way.Just give it a try.If for some reason it wont go just let whoever it is that's taking it know that it doesn't run.If its got wheels itll move.Unless you're trailering it yourself....

you can start a thread on the Non Celica section,while you come to terms with what you've done

Nothing better than a good Alfa. Not much worse than a bad one though....I'd be seriously considering the newer Skoda range,good cars.

Glad youre still about mate.Liked that car,would have been one for me to seriously consider if I was in the market.Like the rarer colours,me.

Thatd be handy Doug, cheers mate

Yeah I think theres one hanging down in the area of the footwell( lots of trim to replace yet!) its from a 1997/8 car?
