The Batmobile

[Huntyfm]

Bought her today my brother checked it out, all was pretty sound but needs a bit of welding here and there, but all in all a good buy.

[Huntyfm]

Bought some buckets with the car, paid a grand sum of 30 nuggets for 'em

[coopdog]

nice looking car

[Huntyfm]

As you can see the one little screw affair is missing, is there anyway of replacing this, or am I in need of buyin a new washer jet?



How do you actually affix these to the door post mabob, hard as nails or something along those lines?




One of the bulb holders is missing, where could I get one of these, and do you know which ones control the backlight illumination?

Thanks Guys!

Wow you have a fair bit of bodywork to sort out there..... That rear arch is

there did you get

Those from? Im guessing those are the felt/rubber things that go by the bit that catches the door?

The dash lights. Ive not seen the square bulb holders before, All the ones ive seen are round? best bet is get them off one in an autojumble really I guess... Could always try a local motorfactors though? just take one of the others in and say 'I need one of these' ?

[Huntyfm]

yeah thats what they are, door strap seals or somethin their called, they came with the car, it only came fitted with one very perished one which incidentally fell off...

[Huntyfm]

I think I'll manage without the buld holder if im honest!!

£4!!!!!!

Bet your glad you have all the others!!! It would be £32!!!

[Huntyfm]

I know, it will manage without, unless it's an MOT failure? and it was £1 for the bulb

[coedy]

Im pretty sure your indicators have to show inside the car?
... so you would need the holder... =/

[braceuself]

i took mine for an mot and he was gonna fail it cos the indicator lights couldnt be seen under the new dash i made so i went into the boot and got my cordless and drilled through the dash so they could be seen.resulting in a pass :-)

[Huntyfm]

Right then I shall order it, for the sum of 5 nuggets

[Huntyfm]

Well about 11pm Tuesday evening I ordered a New rear valence, a flasher unit, 2 orange bulbs, a speedo cable, and bulb and housing for the dash, paid £38 including P&P and it all came today

Although I haven't taken my old speedo cable off yet, it seems a bit too short?

[Huntyfm]

What a bloomin potch, changed my flasher unit and bulbs today, also the speedo cable what an awkward job, radiator had to come out to do it!

[Huntyfm]

Slowly gettin' little jobs done on her

Replaced the parcel shelf speakers
