Keeping up With Georges "flat roofing the floor pan" thread has made me chuckle to myslef all day and also made me think if some stuff me and my mates did to their "first" cars, (ME) when i got my first one (a vaux pa velox) i found holes in the bottom of all the doors so not wanting holes in case water got in there i got a bucket full of fi-glas resin off a mate who worked for halmatic and after removeing the cards and tapeing up the holes tipped it in all four doors, removed the tape after it had gone off and sorted so i thought,
several weeks later i put it in for MOT and when i went to collect it the bloke said it's passed ok but it sounds like there water or something sloshing about in the door, i've checked the drain holes and they seem to be blocked up with something, how long have you had the car? bout three months i said, have you put something in the doors, No i said, well thats wots causeing it mate, some idiots blocked up the drains!!!
(MY MATE) bought a 58 PA Velox (cos i had one) for £100 which was a fair bit of change back then, he was showing off summat wicked as i paid £250 plus my triumph T110 for mine, he came straight round in it and to be fair it did look ok, black paint etc, he produced a tin of isopon and said the bloke at the showroom reccomended he deal with some "slight" rust sopts before they got any worse, i was liveing at home at my mums then and he shot through to the back garden shed to mix it, about 20 minuits later he came hurtling through the front door and yelled "BA$TARD" and flung this big dollop of smokeing filler across the pavement, the silly c##t had mixed the whole lot together, all the hardner and he got to the kitchen as it started getting hot, and could'nt drop it indoors for fear of setting me mums house on fire, the rest of us pi$$ed ourselves, i can still see the look on his face, and things just got better (for us, not for him) he got in the front passenger side to fiddle about with something and there was a crunch! when he pulled back the carpet he'd dam near put his foot through the floor pan,
he tapped up the filler cap (which was a flip up flap on top if the n/s rear wing on those ps's which was suppost to reveal the filler screw on cap and there was bugga all there, just a rusty hole, so he opened the boot and the cap and pipe were just hanging there in mid air, it had rotted out and fell in,
next he checked the spare, which is mounted in a "well" in the boot floor covered by a big metal disc and wing nut, he un did it and and there was the spare but when he lifted out the spare you could see the road underneath,the whole car was rotten,
well all this time the laughter was increasing as he found more and more probs, and he was getting more and more wound up till he shot off in a rage,
he did get his money back after the bloke telling him to f##k off the first time, he then went back with his dad who was a marine and after threatening to go to the papers and bring some of his marine buddies back with him and "dissapear" this shyster's showroom the guy coughed up, then my mate got a good slap for getting ripped off,
Phew! so what have you done your willing to own up to????
