My last one didn't have them and I wasn't looking to get them. But this one came along with them and I actually think they fit it's looks, so I've kept them. For the sake of some beer tokens and a bit of my time, I thought I would paint them and see how they turned out. Worse case would be to get rid of them and have the holes filled and sprayed by a car restorer mate of mine.

As for what the light guards are for, well not far from where I live is Crawley and it protects the lights as I wade through the inbred Zombie locals!! (cant go there again! Yey!!!) :eek::eek::eek:

Lol Crawley the mall:D
 
I decided that my light guards and door handles were looking a bit faded. So I bought some primer and satin black paint and got stuck in to the rear guards.

I am quite pleased how they have turned out.

For the door handles I bought some java black coloured covers off that well known auction site. They have worked a treat.

Next are the front guards and possibly the grill.

Now just waiting for the replacement nuts and bolts before I put them back on the car.

Nice job:)
 
Today I changed the rear discs, caliper carrier, calipers and new pads. Stops easier now.

Just fitted new clutch into the p38!!!!! Whoever thought of fixing the release fork with a couple of spring pins needs their nuts kicking to the back of their neck. Still, easier job than last time when the vm classic went in the middle of France on our way back from Spain. Parts sent out by Overlanders of Litherland and fitted by your's truly without a trolley jack. Was much stronger in those day's:)
 
Well after advice that should do my self I changed the front air springs , and as you advised took me 50 mins to do both sides, just come back from a 5hr 300mile round trip and didn't miss a beat !! New wings and 2000 spec lights next week
 
Nearly rammed my Rangie up the arse of our finance managers car. She decided at the last minute to bang the brakes on to park her car next to her friend's car. I accepted her appology (nothing to do with the fact that she wears low cut tops) and later she bought me a coffee :p

If you had to slam on you was too close to her car anyway. In future leave a larger gap. :p :D ;)

Could be embarrassing if her, or her hubby, is a member on here!!!:eek::eek:
 
Yippee! Got it back after three weeks off the road (nb not "offroad" LOL) with a silky smooth replacement engine; life is good. Now for all those "minor" jobs...
