Post a picture of your vehicle here Part 5 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

Actually it seems too cheap to be true. But I'm gonna meet him face to face on Wednesday to get a confirmation. Fingers crossed.

550e for that sort of work? Something doesn't sound right with that.
Paint, rear light cluster, repair of the pillar plus the damage inside the car?

Shannon757

Does 550 include the labour?

That's why I'd call it initial quote. He'll see the car on Wednesday to confirm or amend it.

You forgot about the bumper.

Not much damage inside a car - few plastics look abit out of their place, mostly because of bent pillar, none of them actually look like broken to be honest.

Just thought you were getting the repair done in Moldova or something

joujoujou

No, not in Moldova. In Rathcoole.

Im missing something here. Handbrake 100% but car moved by itself??huh?

Sounds like the problem that last Vectra "hadn't" got, but there was a recall on it, when mine went for it there was nothing found, but it clicked differently and was stiffer when it came back to me after "nothing was found and nothing done to it".
Do a search on handbrakes slipping on that model, see if anything comes up.

I wish ye would post more pics so I don't look like the mad man who posts all the time. I like to see some enthusiasm no matter what the car is.

shietpilot

Stop taking pics and put your lowering springs in for Autoheroes :pac:

I do think you have done an excellent job with that Escort Gvidor, I must say.

All your little upgrades have made it into a nice looking car (the wheels suit it).

Drove this at the weekend, Westport to Cliften via Leenane and on to Galway through Connemara. One of the best roads i've ever been on.

You passed the girlfriends house so, i often passed the house and kept going for a blast on that road

My Gf is from Westport, I told her we are coming home that way every time now! Barely any traffic and class the way you can see through a series of bends and nail the corners. Would make a brilliant rally stage

vintagevrs

Doing the same run in a 350z a few years ago. 7 years ago now actually!! Where's the time go...

It's class how you can go zoom and go clean through the whole lot of them in one straight line, along killary fjord. Ain't got no time to be weaving around them!

Not so fun in the Summer with tourists crawling though.

Might aswell throw up a few of the pictures I have of that route. Most of them are a few years old.

Bad quality photo but here's the newest wagon. This weekend I'll be giving it a full valet along with putting on new number plates and attempting to remove those "TDI" stickers from the door.

Just fitted the alloys an hour ago, farely happy with them - you wouldnt think they wer 17" looking at the photo!

definitely, think the green indicators sets it apart from the other escorts

So this appeared on Backroads after Sunday's C&C, accurate :pac:



But also this

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I'd love a set of those for my e46, the 19" I have are not meant for Irish roads.

I love them, lucked out to find an E60 Concave set, exactly what I was after. They're similar enough to 95's which was my second choice too. Mind you, Tigerclaws suit the 46 Touring down to the ground.

2 Polish lads near Tesco.

Was there today. Obviously, as expected, them 550 notes were nowhere near real figures. So Ms jou has to fill the claim form and pay approx 3 thousand euro for the job and parts.

There's about 3 different garages around Tesco to be fair.

If you want I can give you a phone number to a place nearby Rathcoole. They do fairly cheap work and the job quality is good, I've had personal dealings with them.

joujoujou

Thanks. I got their number from a buddy of mine with a very similar recommendation. And car's owner has already decided.

It's not no. It's the handbrake cable, not sure why they hang down on this car because they're newish cables and they've always been like that. It's like they are too long.
