MCHUDD IS LOUVRED AGAIN.

Post by MCHUDD » 16 Jul 2010 10:48 pm

Hi lads.
Thanks to the great Dutch man FRITS over in Holland,I have got a replacement Louvre.
It is great that my mk1 345 is going back to its origional look.
When the scumbags smashed it up, i never thought i would be able to get another one.
So thanks again Frits for selling me your spare.
The 83 360 GLS is going for its MOT at the end of the month so i might put it on that for a while.
What ever happens, i will not be using it as regulary as before as some shitbag might destroy it again.
Cheers Mark. sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4 sm4

Good to see you back in the game there.

What I do find peculiar is the louvre / roof bar combo. To me it's one or the other. Ditch the rack and get a rear spoiler on. :wink:

Hi lads.
Thanks for all the nice coments. I will let you know how the 360 GLS gets on at the end of the month.
An MOT here in N.IRELAND. is a little bit more dificult than the mainland.
They just do not want old cars on the road.
Cheers Mark. sm4

Hi lads.
Does anyone have any experiance of paying to get some welding done?
Last week i took the mk1 345 out of the garage to give it a bit of an inspection.
The car is in pretty good condition.However the rear drivers side sill and jacking point
needs welding as does the front two chassis legs. I have know experince of welding
so will have to get it done properly. I just wondered how much this might cost.
Cheers Mark. sm4
