The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[cwspellowe]

Jonny there's an idea! Want a couple of leaf print front seats as payment for your services?

[Connor]

I will take your drivers seat off of you and I shall pay in shenanigans

[cwspellowe]

Deal. Can't say it's in amazing condition but at least i won't have to drive it back

[Connor]

Actually thats a good point, providing its in better condition than my current one

[cwspellowe]

How bad is yours? I'm pretty sure the leather's worn through on the side bolster. In fact i'd go as far as saying it's quite grim

[Connor]

Well, being the fat bastard hench bloke I am, my base is a little squished lol

[cwspellowe]

Ah. Frankenseat?

[Connor]

Mebby, twas what I was thinking

[cwspellowe]

Well i'm pretty sure the base is half decent. You can have that, and the rest we shall kill with fire.

[Connor]

Im getting all giddy and excited now

[cwspellowe]

I know right? 140 miles to build a frankenseat and set stuff on fire, before falling asleep in a onesie in a tent. What a way to spend a Saturday night

[Connor]

Ive got 220 miles, a morphsuit and 24cans of CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Dum-Dum]

Ill bring the 9" grinder and diamond blade if needed.

[Jonny81191]

the rest we shall kill with fire.

Gonna be boring and say not at my house or at the campsite. I'll happily take it to the tip for you though.

Already have those mate, saves you the effort.

[cwspellowe]

That is rather boring jonny. But i wasnt actually going to set it on fire

[Connor]

Aww f*ck, I was...

[xav]

[cwspellowe]

Ahahaha, Jonny's engine change meet is turning into the engine change meets smoke stack and bonnet vent meet <3

[Alee83]

Love it... Like a well laid plan!!

[cwspellowe]

Right, still waiting on a few bits for the smoke stack, so I set off on another mission.

Have you ever wondered how to fit vents from a boat's bilge pump to the bonnet of a 306? You have?! Ahh good, then I shall tell you how in a few simple steps.

1. Buy your own angle grinder because you've been borrowing them for years and it's getting a bit annoying not having on-demand grinding



2. Find a suitably sized vent or two, the bigger the better

3. Cut a couple of big holes in your bonnet, a bit like this:



4. Place the first vent in its hole, then find something to secure it. Rivets will probably do.



5. Do the other side, step back, and LOL at your boat car





Now you're probably thinking.. what would a responsible member of the community do with those big bits of metal that have been removed from the bonnet?

Simple. Fix stuff that didn't need fixed. Go get the rivet gun again...





Fixed!

Linzi's mum and dad also had an old Seicento exhaust in the shed that needed the same environmentally friendly treatment, so more stuff was fixed that didnt need fixing.











Done. So now i've recycled.. an old wheel, a fence, an old exhaust, carbon fibre, erm, an old rusty spot lamp bar... The government should be thanking me.

I've also decided when i DO eventually get stopped by the Police (somehow hasn't happened yet?) I shall start a tally chart somewhere with a big knife. Make a big rusty police counter

So how was your day?

[vlj]

....and there's my answer on how to fit them, it's been troubling me for a while.

Looks good as ever!

[Niall]

gets better and better this car!!

[cwspellowe]

No it doesn't, it gets heavier and heavier

[Niall]

yeah but looks more and more epic so thats fine!

[cwspellowe]

Lol, my favourite feature at the minute is the fact that the exhaust isn't connected, so when you plant it reek comes out the bonnet vents <3

[Niall]

haha amazing. You should fit exhausts under the bonnet to direct the smoke to the vents. Rather dangerous when you cant see where your going but would look epic.

[cwspellowe]

I do need to keep it semi legal though. I'm a bit concerned about driving to Jonny's this weekend as VOSA like to hang about at the border

Roll past. With the engine off.

Build yourself a butterfly valve from a throttle body that goes to the bonnet vents
