Cars what I own and occasionally touch

Post by AlabamaShrimp »

Here there will be the posting of the shit cars I own and their very occasional time of being touched.

They all need work but I'm lazy so expect very little updates :-)

As posted in the grumpy thread the Frontera'bonnet has decided to get stuck. The cable does move, just won't do the last bit and unlock.

Got the grill off after seeing it was only one screw and some clips from the Haynes book.

Only good picture I could get of the lock as it's got a shield on the front.

You can feel the cable more when the release handle is pulled so it's either stretched or come off something. Going to take the cable off the plastic handle in the car when I get chance and pull it with mole grips.

Bumper is getting worse too. Wobbling like a git as the supports are nearly rotted through. The side bits have totally gone.

Had a look everywhere I can think off and I can't find one. Loads of mk2 bumpers but they are totally different.

Bumper mounts are prone to rot. Get em of and get so e made up before they dissolve.

Mine has only just got the hang of central locking when she is waiting for me to unlock it. "Don't pull the handle until you have heard it unlock"

too late. have to lock then unlock again...
OMG U OK HUN?
