deanosabby Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'll try and make it Keith. I won't have the Cavalier though as it has no insurance on it unless I can get insurance for the day sorted out. For me though to bring the Cav it would have to be before the end of Nov as the tax runs out then. If not it will be the pickup.

deanosabby Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I Should be there in the cavvy if I can stop the rocker cover gasket from leaking . Just had a james hunt of a time trying to make the thing stay in the right position and have just finished after dicking around with it for the last hour or so. I have fitted a new one but was wondering if gasket seal would be better? as it still leaks a wee bit. Ta, Deano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manta400john Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Weather was a bit damp(on and off)so after meeting at the lay-by we trundled up the road(4 roundabouts ) to Dobbies garden centre for more blethering and a full cooked breaky . Had a great time. 6 folk and 3 Mantas .....not bad for the middle of November. Next meet'll be at Tommy's hoose which means a lot of Mantas,mostly Tommy's!! Iain,hope the A's running better now.

deanosabby Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cheers for the Cavvy's last meet till next year. Good seeing you all again and for once the Cavvy's outnumbered the Manta's. It was a pity Keith and Craig couldn't make it but maybe next time. I'll get that inner wheel arch sealed up Colin, what do you think it best in the meantime, underseal and paint or fibreglass to bridge the gap? Glad you got the A running again Iain. Cheers for the pics John. Ta, Deano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vauxsenb Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Bloody great fun out there on the wet roundabouts today, what a hoot, thanks for all the compliments guys, they should go to Bill Dalgetty, its all his handywork you see under the bonnet. Dean, I would (if it were mine) dig out carefully all of whatever they have slapped on the inside and start again bridging it with fibreglass after treating the corroded areas with some kind of rust treatment (Poris/ Bilt Hamber, etc.) then seal it of with a soft flexible underseal or similer which will protect it well enough till you decide to have it done properly if thats the road your going down. Looking good and sounding even better just the same. Good to see all of you guys out on a wet day, and well done with the camera John Cheers, Colin.
