Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
Happy days, Hopefully it's as a simple as dropping it on its wheels and letting it settle.

Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
Sounds like the clamp is pulling the bushing out of shape, hopefully the rubber grease prevents that! As for the blue on black, it probably works if more bits were painted to offset the one piece that said its a matter of taste and I tend to think red/ black, or a darker shade of blue. Looks like it...

Re: Why are interviewers so rude?
Sadly, location can be prohibitive. Its an employers market at the moment sadly. Re: being too old, why would you say that? Granted hours probably won't be great either, that said only other option is to relocation and in this climate, thats likely going to sting. What about self employment?

Re: Why are interviewers so rude?
Having no idea where in the country you are, I can't really comment too much on the demographics.However, a 50 mile round trip is somewhat insane (to me at least). That's what, a tenner a day in fuel, and probably an hour each way depending on time and roads used (allowing for traffic). In terms of ...

Re: Rustival 2024 MARCH 9th
Excellent. Did you only look at the Vauxhalls? I like a lot of the old 80s and 90s cars. It is just nice to see cars from my younger days. Whether it is a TR7, a Super-Mirafiori or even a Morris Marina. They are more interesting due to their personality and rarety. Nah, looked at everything there r...

Re: Why are interviewers so rude?
*Kids - not a detrimental term, but when staff are becoming 'managers' at 23/24 are they really in a position to be a manager, life experience counts for a lot in terms of being empathetic / sympathetic and being able to deal with individuals in an appropriate manner. **Manage - either got there by...

Re: Rustival 2024 MARCH 9th
Can certainly say Rustival was worth the drive - some excellent projects there, and even 3-4 mk3 cav's, a mk1 and a handful of mk2's. Severeal corsas' astras too.

Re: Why are interviewers so rude?
I am not opposed to people coming over for a better life (if such a thing is possible in the UK these days :/ ) I just ask that forms didn't have what is translated to 'preferential treatment' which guarantees them an interview even if they don't meet the criteria.. The do-gooding for equality has g...

Re: Why are interviewers so rude?
It is a demoralising situation (sorry, I have meant to reply to this for a while now but haven;t been able to construct a reply I was happy with). The job market is upside down in a lot of sectors - because of the hiring practises over the past 2 decades (which Rob mentions above) in that they hire ...

Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
I don't know... but these pattern panels are the worst I have ever seen. A huge 16 to 19mm (5/8" to 3/4") out at the bottom. https://i.postimg.cc/RVp6G2ZQ/20210630-020950.jpg Only Klokkerholme in Denmark make them. So even the best UK suppliers, Heritage and Brickwerks have to sell them a...

Re: Blink And You Miss It - 15 Years.
You have been quite active behind the scenes Gary. Hopefully as we start heading into spring, things will pick up again. I am looking forward to the next few months, and the future of the forum as a whole. I just need to lead by example and de-mothball my own Cavalier, and maybe finish off the last...

Re: Blink And You Miss It - 15 Years.
The missus had owned the Cavalier for 10 years, and then myself for another 3 years before I discovered the forum in 2008... so I was quite a 'late' starter. I think Gary, Envoy CDX is the longest registered member, joining with the first wave of sign-ups. Overall, our Cavalier was already 13 years...

Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
Looks promising, sadly sheared things are a part of life with these things. But overcame and got it done - sometimes I wonder if bolts would be better on these things. As for sound deadening, I was watching a My Mechanics video and he was using dry ice to remove the sound deadening with good results.

Re: It may be quiet for you - Spam-Bots a Plenty.
Trying to work out the best way forward with this one. I thought they'd slowed right down to be honest but I guess Rob is getting them before I log in.
