Sweet think punto is starting a craze here

If anyone sees 1 on a medium height van pls let me know because i want 1 but importantly the roof part i want and i can get the tailgate another time

[loot]

Yippee
Do you get nuts and bolts with cheap shite?


20 odd quid for a piece of rubbish rubber lol think i should measure it for other members, should get a braided quality 1 for 10p

Cut mine into shorter lengths Dude, so I could do further repairs if necessary.

Cut leaking part off, and joined a new short length to good bit with a short length of copper pipe and jubilee clips

I'll weigh it up, i think mine has split at the tank and i could have sorted something out but tbh when i got the price for the bearings i suddenly got overwhelmed by the 'well you can't take it with you' feeling and thought fook it, in for a penny

For those that would like an answer to this, yes you do Loot
But at £25 for 'cheapies' they are still more expensive than Mk5 ones

I did my cheap ones 2 years ago, your probably right about the nuts and bolts, i think it's the disk bolts you don't get.
Mine aren't bad but since I'm doing the pads and disks i thought why not

[karl]

took me inner step cover out only to find a load of shite and a couple of holes on the passenger side not big one but a think the door seal had been leaking as it was wet stuff and driver side all good just a surface rust but put rust eater on in so ready for waxoil engine oil mix same for passenger side wants sorted the little holes out

Ooooh that's off a taxi init?

Is it going on a mk6 or 7?

[shaun23]

Yep off a tourneo taxi, decided a window would be good for the eventual camper conversion. Its going on a mk7.
Ive got hinges, struts and wedges with it just the rubber sleeve for the loom had been cut

[Cal1990]

Finished painting this morning but had a wee accident while I was at it






Just need to fit side door next week when I can see properly

Moral of story put your window seals in with your hand or a blunt object don't use a screwdriver to lever in and then slips into your eyeball and ripping a muscle to potentially leave you blind in one eye for your days!! Will find out Monday if I'm one eye cal or two eye cal

[loot]

Ouch cal you gotta be careful
No van is worth that, I've done silly things in my time and on cars that have long gone.

You know the wiring holes on the wrong side on a mk6 gate?

And you'll have to rewrite the lock
But it's pretty easy

Do explain about the lock Mr P

[Punto443]

I just had to swap a few pins around, metered them of my old door wiring and swapped them to suit, 10min job, but I done it at 10:30 one night and the neighbour was a bit cheesed of with the horn tooting

Re drilled the other side and moved the wiring over, then added the brake light

What you doing with your old top hinge holes?
