You're a brave man buying a car you have little knowledge of, with no local community to help you out (yet). Go find yourself some car friends, sharpish.

Re: A Mini Adventure ... Dave, IR confused. You says you has money to play, yet doesn't fit cams...

Put some time and effort into sorting out that wiring, that looks f**king terrible. Wow at the swirls though, wow. You got a polisher? That'd be seriously rewarding!

FLOL, I just thought I'd have a look at how far this is, and how viable it was for me to pop down to the next one as it looks like fun. It's not viable, not at all.

I'd say lets sit you three down and let you work out your differences, but it'd be like looking at a half carton of eggs.

Good news that, keep us updated on how the claim comes. It seems mental that when something like this happens it's hard for you not to lose out! For the list of offences, that sentence is pretty short though. Mental.

I feel the same Nick. Split?

Do you not remember when loads of us set that as our avatar??

Needs a detail, but god damn that's nice.

Pretty sure I've said it before, but I love your car. Makes the FK's work perfectly.

Motherfucker got confused because he actually has a head of ginger hair in that pic.

LOL! I like it. Especially the little ones, mental.

Bloody love this, can't wait to see it back to being "finished". Although we both know it'll be in bits again in 2 months when you have another idea.

Some great pics there, it looks like a brilliant little meet!

Welcome to the club. If you want assistance, it'd help if you asked for it specifically ;)

Taken you long enough. Asshat.

Just have the fronts done, and have anyone do the rears. Like, anyone. It's the alignment that'll cost you, but even kwikfit can do that for about £40.

Follow my advice in the other thread and it may look quite OK. Better wheels, new number plates, lower on springs/coilovers and remove stripes. I think it'll actually look quite tidy then.

FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS? Second hand rear caliper, £25 Standard rear discs and pads with bearings pressed in, £100 Sorted.

I'm about 80% sure if you order the kangoo front engine mount it's cheaper and exactly the same thing. I can't remember what variation but if you search you'll find it.

LOL! I didn't mean you don't need anything other than standard because you're Paul! I just meant you don't need anything other than standard, Paul. If you search older threads, when this was the height of discussion, you'll see Fred et all, saying that the only one worth upgrading is the...

Fresh plates, no stripes, some springs/coilovers, and different wheels. Then it may look fairly decent.

Having no dust cover it's no surprise it's seized like a goodun. You'd never get one un seized with a screwdriver though, not in a million years. Good rewind tool and you may have a chance.

You don't need anything other than standard Paul. Powerflex on the dogbone, with the other two standard but new, make sure the engine is positioned correctly so there's no knocks etc, and you'll be happy as it gets.

LOL @ Dawn having hers painted. Gally: "Ochhh but thi paint i like neuuuuuuu" Dawn: "But Kevin, if you look just there, in the right light, there's some RDS I can't get out from when a squirrel lept into my path when I last drove it in 2007" Gally: "Woman heeeiiiiid"

No worries, I can't remember off the top of my head what gear oil and what capacity, I think it's somewhere around 2.2L and possibly a 75w90 but I could be way off.

Drainplug is on the bottom, looks just like the engine oil drain plug iirc. Filler plug is a wingnut on the front of the box. Best way to fill it up is a length of hose and a funnel.

That'd be Revels.

12mm. (If you're referring to the balljoint bolt sizes)

Patter TBH. They're not rare car's, and parts are so readily available and cheap it wouldn't take much to pick up any car and turn it back into a "Standard mint example".
