Holy crap, tailgates are heavy. I think the last time I took one off it was my Cinquecento and that weighed next to nothing. Going to need a couple of helpers to test fit I think. Weighing up whether to keep or lose the spoiler.

The black tailgate will look good against the white car. Can you source a black bonnet too?

keep. Daft spoilers and stuff are essential on JDM cars, especially if they are not appropriate to the type of car.simon_g wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:23 pm Holy crap, tailgates are heavy.

Tandem garage, you literally have to climb over stuff to get from one end to the other.
Re: Your fleet running reports
Jesus fucking Christ I get all itchy when I take the car out and see a bunch of leaves and end up sweeping it all. Couldn’t live with that mess!
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Your fleet running reports
when you have a full time job, family, endless diy projects, hobbies with large equipment to store, a social life, no time and can only afford a normal garage rather than a huge barn big enough for everything that’s what happens...Mito Man wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2019 3:48 pm Jesus fucking Christ I get all itchy when I take the car out and see a bunch of leaves and end up sweeping it all.

I’d love to sort mine, but it’s way down the list.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Word. 7 years mine's been getting progressively worse. Still, next project starts in a few weeks and I *have* to clear the garage out. This also means clearing out the big shed at the bottom of the garden. I have no idea how achievable it will be, and I get the sweats thinking about itRich B wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:29 pmwhen you have a full time job, family, endless diy projects, hobbies with large equipment to store, a social life, no time and can only afford a normal garage rather than a huge barn big enough for everything that’s what happens...Mito Man wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2019 3:48 pm Jesus fucking Christ I get all itchy when I take the car out and see a bunch of leaves and end up sweeping it all.
