sweet as someone did a hit n run on my car while i was at the mrs' stripping wallpaper. not too bad, only panel damage to the front right guard but still...
pretty sure it was this dude who was fixing the blinds at her house so gave him a call and what he said was...
"might of been" "are you insured" "get a quote"
so must of been him.

that sucks Tai. You should have just told him I have a witness who saw you do it and then told him the repair price.

Haha if it hapened again i probably would :L. dunno about taking a dump on his driveway though haha bit too ruthless for me ay Tim Anyways... I was stripping wallpaper once again at the gf's and the blinds dude turned up with the fixed blind assembly to reinstall. confronted the bastard and checked out his van. dent + teal paint transfer on the back left bumper and taillight. exchanged details and now im waiting for him to sort out nuts with his insurance company and hopefully the car will be assessed/quoted and i will be payed out sometime soon. gonna try settle on a cash agreement kinda felt sorry for the guy as hes this really old bloke (probably early 70s) but hes a Barry Whiteer for doing it and not leaving a note or anything

havnt updated in a while so yah (no pictures btw )... ok so found out that carb would be utterly useless on the chevette (its off a 4L ford and would flood the engine soo much unabling it to run). Got a 28/36 weber in the mail today which should do the job mint! now i just need to get the manifold cut and extended or get an adapter/flange made up to bolt it on. I have also stripped out the interior to try and fix up all the rust from the leaks (got some pics that i will upload next time perhaps). Looks as if the majority of it isnt too bad and i could just grind out and rust proof it but the passengers footwell area(or whateva its called) may need to be cut out and welded up :S. oh well atleaset ill have it running for the holidays Chur bo

Sorry no pics in this upload. My comp wont let me . Finally the Chevette lives again !! and is a hell of a lot gruntier than it use to be. The only problem is that the accelerator cable isnt returning fully to idle which is Barry Whiteing me off, and i also need a new choke cable as the stock chevette one is too small. The 28/36 was rebuilt to suit the 1256 by Murray the Weber specialist and Thanks to Tony, the intake manifold was cut and extended to suit. Also ive wire brushed the floor, etch primed and painted. pretty boring post without the pictures but hey, its all good Chur
