Hi guys

I know behind all of the comments there are some good humans on the breeze.

I have a car that I was going to sell on the cheap before leaving for travel and found this:

"I know its a big ask but they say "if you don't ask you won't know".
I'm in desperate need of transport. On a pensioner budget which is now zero. I was looking to purchase a vehicle, started off with 1,500. Unfortunately my silkie got sick and the Vet took most of it. Now my other one is sick and the Vet took what he didn't take the first time around.
I am an administrator for my disabled brother which means i need to get to banks and meetings, hence the need for transport.
If anyone has a vehicle that they don't want/use I would appreciate it muchly. I don't have the funds but am prepared to swap furniture for it if need be.
I don't care what it looks like as long as it is auto, has rego and is running."

So the whole her getting the car part is sorted and she is more than grateful. I could hear the sign of relief and absolute disbelief in her voice.

Here's where you come in......I would like to make my car a bit nicer for her.
Problems:
Dent in boot
back door has no window (but I have the window to replace it in the old door)
It probably needs looking at by a mechanic (all those things a regular service would do)
Odometer is temperamental
window winder has snapped off drivers door
Roof upholstery has come unstuck

Please pm me if you are in perth (scarb) region and could be of assistance.

I will pass the car on 18th July.

Thanks in advance

Little O

Anyone able to provide any help to fix any of these things would be great.

great to see someone who isnt stingy and is helping someone in need out. good karma coming your way

Thanks for the offers so far.
Interesting to see that even those with little time to give are still offering :)

Dont use liquid nails, 3M spray on contact adhesive is definately the way to do it(available from auto shops and maybe Bunnings). I cant beleive you still haven't fixed that window. I can help with both the lining and window after Tuesday.

Let me know when.

Hey Nick
Tgladman is coming to look at it on Thursday at 4:30?? Can you help then?
Many hands make light work.....

Ps your photos are awesome. I'm such a bad kiter this season. Upgrade when I get back!! That rebel will be mine.

Nick, Trent and Todd have transformed the beast. Thank you so much guys!!!

yeah little o took some pics, make sure u fill out the rego transfer papers little o and try and get some1 to service it if you can, just a simple oil and filter change, maybe check the other fluid levels (brake, water, p/steer) will make sure it lasts for the lady who gets it. if your in need of help for this just let me know.
safe and happy travels.

Well actually dude, if she is talking about what happened in my car, where the entire "roof lining" (not the material) falls down there is no way in hell you will stick it back up with 3m. Obviously if you only need to restick some cloth then yeah 3m will work, but personally I would just rip that out.

during







now she looks good as new.

Still unserviced...and with a dodgy speedo???
Any takers? I am starting to run out of time. less than 8 days to leaving

Once again the guys were so awesome!!! Some lucky ladies out there who've caught these gentlemen :)

Wow! Awesome work guys! Big karma points headed your way I reckon.

Not to take anything away from your volunteers - UR the one.
I think I want to marry you.

Seriously - I couldnt help out with the car thing but pay us a visit on your return and I'll make sure the Karma pay back happens.
You are one amazing lady.

Enjoy your rovings

Great job Todd and team,could we have pics of little o handing keys over to blessed new owners from her humane generosity.

Seriously ( just for a change )
As an ex pro driver I'll offer to pick you up from anywhere; anytime; and drop you at the airport at whatever time will save you any wait.

Unfortunately my wife tells me Im not allowed to marry you Sometimes she is just plain unreasonable

Pics would be awesome. That would be the jewel in the crown to get everyone here determined to work some pass-it-on scheme of their own.

Do something good....maybe you could clean the bathroom so that I don't look like a pig when I finally arrange for a hot chick to visit?

haha go kiting grumpy, you should let her see you for who you really are :)

little o said...

now service sorted for tomorrow thanks corey!!!
Anyone have any ideas for the speedo

Stick on a cut out needle, leave it at 50km/h. Lil O Ladies don't drive faster than that usually and if they do, they're the ones who don't care how fast they're going anyway!!
