Well the Fiat project is still limping along....my last find within the car inside the rear valance was these chaps...
after investigation it turns out they are Brown Widow nests!!...... Fortunately mother was dry and crispy !!....which is lucky as I hate spiders....... So I have spiders in my Spider....
axle has has been reconditioned, rear bumper shock absorbers are out.....should be able to get back on it once Nellie is back on the road.
Well that's your rebuild brought to a screeching halt then - once the environmentalists, wildlife lovers and tree-huggers find out your car's a home for exotic species there'll be some sort of preservation order slapped on it and you'll have to keep it exactly as it was found. You'll be lucky if they even let you fire it up and run it up and down the drive...see, shoulda bought that Beta Couple from Richard
Are you sure it was the mother spider who was brown and crispy ? It could have been Father spider killed by the "widow" after the rumpy pumpy.
Thankfully the Beta Coupe is sold !!.... Not let on to the tree huggers and the wildlife lovers just yet !!..
I'll keep my eye out for the mother....hammers are at the ready !
fitted bumpstops and pulled a little more underseal off.....perfect black paint underneath again
Also so axle is back in place....so it's coming on...slowly!
Looking Good, Phil! And must say that Fulvia in the background looks a bit smart...and is that a Play-Doh coloured MGB behind it?? Where do you find 'em! (...as if I didn't know...)
Both sourced from a shark in Manchester...... a young Arthur Daly in the making..... dodgy bloke ... smiles when he's taking your money !!...LOL........... I will inform the current Mrs Dib Dob that her car is Play-doh coloured... I'm sure she will be pleased !Originally Posted by Normb666
Oh I know him - operates out of a dingy lock-up unit, next to a couple of oily places with guys with big heavy implements. Think they call him "Richard the Lying Tart" or summat
