Morning All
Cant Sleep so I thought i'd finally figure out how to put pictures on here. Thought some of you would like to see how im looking after Jaimes old tractor.
I admit, these were taken not long after I got her, before I put the pikey bar on.
Must say im loving it. I know a lot of you will have a vested interest in it, i've seen the 33 page write up when Jaime was having the engine problems, so I like to keep you all in touch.
Am planning to put a mesh grill on the front, replace the rear bumper and replace the front 'splitter' (I use the term splitter very loosely) as it has gone west since this was taken.
So, Here she is. What do you think?

They are, its a relatively new office estate behind the BMW/Peugeot dealer which are on (I think) the Sleaford road. Lived here for 3 years and still don't know the bloody street names :-[

Not sure why, but she does polish up nicely

Hi Platty. I spent nearlly a happy year in Boston. I worked forklift driving/shunting on the dock & rented a flat in a lovely big old house overlooking the Witham. The address was Witham bank east. When i finished a 2 to 10 shift i'd pop into the Witham pub on the way home (closed shortly before i left). I met alot of cool people in Boston & will never forget the Axe & Cleaver pub. :y
-
Looks gr8, it is was nice motor when I saw it in the flesh, that's when it was professionally polished at Telford :y
-
lovely clean looking car there :y
-
Looks good!
Same colour as my TD Elite (Sea Polor Blue) :y
-
Smashing looking car mate, the pre-facelift seems to have 'more about it' than my version. :y

Hi Amigo, If you lived on Witham Bank East then I am sure you would have been frequesnting the Witham Tavern - still very much open! I used to often walk the dog up to Andy's chip shop (behind the Tavern) and then go for a swift pint overlooking the Marina.
The Axe & Cleaver is a bit legendary though - turned a bit underage now days though. Still a unique place to say the least!
-
very clean looking mig you got there, good colour too 8-)
most of my family live in boston, next time i come over you,ll hear me ;D

I was up Andys chippy earlier. Lovely bloke, put a tenner in my hand both times my babies were born.
I have lived here for three years now and can honestly say I have had one pint in the Weatherspoons pub in the town and other than that have not been near a pub. Do enjoy a curry at the Masalla Zone down West Street. :y :y

Its a little known fact, but Boston has got the most pubs per square mile of any town in England - apparently :-/
Its just a pity they are all shite.
Andy is a great chap, known him for many years. Best chips in Town (since Cryers closed) and he's only 2 mins from Red Cap Lane

Arghhh! Everytime this thread gets replied to I have to look at those piccies of my old beloved tractor, which I miss :'(
It was a bit of a forum saga from that surprisely warm February 2007 day when Auto Addict and I picked it it until October 2007 when it actually ran properly again, so many members have a vested interest in her! Its certainly the most blood and sweat I've put into a car.
After the mega external valet by AmigoV6 and his mate, it always cleaned up really nice :y

Hi Squealy. As said in earlier post i did pop into the Witham to blow the froth off a couple after work (as you do)! There was a lovely little blonde barmaid called Lou. She used to run out from behind the bar & give me a hug & a kiss on the cheek, nothing more sadly! Never tried Andy's chippy. If iwas'nt cooking i'd get an Indian from a restaurant on a crossroads with cycle shop opposite. Can't remember the name but the food was spot on. Love Boston.
Regarding admins cars & work & help & help from forum members, the Beastie was great when i bought her from Hotel21 (love the stovies Broocie) & with labour/parts & very fair prices from Markey Mark just up the road in Scunny she's even better now. Recaro leather, full Bose, cambelt kit & waterpump, a semi engine swap (long story) Irmscher carbon effect steering wheel, crankcase sensor, full s/steel de cat exhaust & more. On top of this Broocie fitted red rear irmsher lowering springs & cruise control, new Goodyear Eagle F1's this saturday £416 all in & a spare set of good MV6 alloys. I can go anywhere in this car happy in the knowledge she won't let me down.
Over a year on every mile is a pleasure to drive. Look after them & they look after you back 8-) :y

Now you need the irmscher springs on front as well - certainly seem to reduce that high speed (120/130mph) 'loose' front end (when on runways/autobahns, obviously)

;D ;D ;D Never had her flat out mate. So many have said on here & youtube that a healthy manual 3.0 will pull 150+ there's no need for me to try.
I did try my green 2.5 manual & bottled it @ 146 indicated, still creeping up but feeling very light on CD suspension & tyres so i quit while i was ahead. This was of course done on private land under clinical supervision!!!! ::)
