Landy nicely home, some pics of the state .. remarkably sound ..

Winch rope out 'cos battery and winch don't work, and also 'cos I had to make two knots to recover it (winch brake wouldn't hold, I suspect it was a bit damp after 2 1/2 days, and was spooling out under pressure) by joining the rope to a strop .. one knot was fine, basically a wrap not a knot, I was too cold by the time to do the 2nd knot and ragged it in .. can't undo it now!! Will do when it's dried out.

It's also raining here now so can't be bothered to work on it ... waiting till after the assessor to do more, apart from removing the Hi-lift.

at least your insole is still there.

Speak to mr kipper about drowned discos. His interior has never been the same since it drowned at a pay and play site. No matter what you try the smell never comes out.

Heh, there's a pair .. I have no idea where or who they're from! I suspect one of the kids left them in the roof net .. they certainly wouldn't fit me ..

Incredible!

Something between rotted cow****e and Hull Docks, with a smattering of dead things .. actually smells like a lot of dead things ...

Leaving it to fester for the assessor.

Lovely

I can remember the smell of kippers, he was in a stagnant pond though and it was gut wrenching. I like to think i have a fairly strong stomach too.

Think i might have that haddock for dinner now

Is that an old school table you have half inched for your back shelf?

stands a good chance as the OP is a school caretaker.

Seems quite resourceful to me

Yup .. Just got a couple more that I intend to re-do, slightly higher, and gonna weld a tab on so I can bolt them in. The one in the pic is strapped in and regularly works loose.

Just had Insco assessor round, I'm keeping the Disco, insurance write-off Cat B and getting £2k! OK, that's minus my excess, but it's still a reasonable chunk to play with .. I was hoping for about £500 but actually I've now got more than £1500 to use ... which sounds plenty but I'm sure won't be enough fro what i want!!

So now it's a project ..

First thing is removal of bolted 'stuff' inside and an interior jet wash ... not sure pics will be needed of that!!

Igloo · Oct 29, 2013

Good news!

Pressure wash everything, Then lots of soap. It's not like it could get much worse!

Time to chop the arse end of?

I think we should have a collection for Paul and buy him a load of air fresheners

Good news,

what is the deal with a cat b write off, can it go back on the road?
If it is Ok to go back on the road, could be an awesome project.

Cheers
