Techie Occasional Poster Location: Victoria Registered: February 2004	Re: Most dodgiest fixing you have ever seen... Wed, 25 February 2004 15:24 Man I've enjoyed some of these. Although i must say i have been quite dodgy when it comes to my Corona! 1. Muffler Fell off, after few months cops said my tail pipe wasn't long enough, fixed the prob by using some tail pipe, old steal tennis ball container, hose clamps and wire. Dad said it would last 2 weeks, 6 months later when i finally got the money to replace it, it was still good!!! 2. Oil leak after replacing head, had to buy a head as old one had massive corrosion holes. New head didn't quite match over head cam, bolted up fine, but a gap 1.5" long and 1/2" wide under the fuel pump was letting a lot oil out. Used to pull up at an intersection with James Bond style smoke screen. Fixed by using card board and loads of auto silicon. Have got a cam that doesn't have the gap to put on it, but is still in the spare car. 3. Removed boot springs to fit larger speakers in parcel shelf. 4. Duck tape on door skin to pass road worthy. My Celia's paint job is 2 years old and stuffed. Its faded and has clear peeling off it left right and centre. also crow footed on the roof. The guy who owned it before me said the place he bought it from had to respray it before he could pick it up. Obviously they weren't real good sprayers. Wanted tunes in my mates bomb of an XF panel van once, we needed an external amp as the CD players amp didn't work. So we ran power cable out through the window into the engine bay. This is not a tradition I plan to keep up though, now that I work full time, and want to drive a really nice reliable Celia. Although all the dodgy repairs that i have completed have lasted till i could afford or could be bothered replacing them, so i think i did all right There are plenty more, can't remember them all right now though. The ones here occurred when i was sober, the rest probably weren't.... [Report message to a moderator]
