Gonna Have To Give Bones Away I Think
With yet another problem developing on Bones, and not having the money to fix it, I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and offer it free of change to somebody who is willing to take it from me, since there's no way I'll get even back what I paid for it in its current condition, and it'll be a cold day in hell before I scrap her or send her off to weconanyfool.com.
I'll be posting her in the freebies section on here should someone be willing to take her on.

Hi David,
If I had space she'd already be mine . Sadly I don't; so I truly hope she finds a loving owner from your wonderful offer. Catch up at a Nano. Best wishes. Andy. |

David, I'm sorry you've had to come to this decision, it couldn't have been easy but you've given it your best shot so you've nothing to be ashamed about. Hopefully someone will take on Bones that has the space and resources Bones needs, at the end of the day you have to do what's right for you.
Regards, Martyn |

So sad. I'd take her back if I could but I can't afford it. What's wrong with her now? Perhaps someone can help?

Nasty knocking noise everytime I turn the wheel, also wants to keep pulling to the right. I think since it's been standing for a while it might be brake bind, but I'm not sure.

Strut top bearing? They make a noise when you steer. Shouldn't be the drop links as we did them, but then again they don't last on these cars so could be? Brake bind would be easy to fix too. I hope she gets a home not broken after all we both went through with her.

I'm sure this might be a sign..............now don't tempt me, I'm trying to cut down the fleet, not add to it.
On saying that, I'm a sucker for a rescue, all of my current cars are rescues Brian |
