What am I Rain Man?

Austin Citron Green! :approve:

Could have got the same effect with plain sky blue paint tbh. Unless Andy's shop lights give out a weird colour cast?

The one in the garage is sky blue atm, purple is the colour it's being resprayed.

Oh, it was the engine side of things I was interested in. :dapprove: Didn't know they came with an original V6, thought it was a replacement for the stock engine. It's the coolest UK car i've ever seen, shame the UK wasn't ready or swooping lines and 50s style fins. Looks exactly like this...

I wouldn't mind helping on the Capris Consul restoration, that thing's cool as f*ck, do you think Andy would be alright with me lending a hand on tear down? It would be a good way for me to learn the basics on a carb'd classic.

EFA :D

He'll be lucky to get there without it breaking down, i'll more than likely have to follow him just in case.

Oi, i've paid.

It's certainly working.

I you're a northerner how come you sound like Ozzy Osbourne?

The one thing that bothers me about my prolines is that the back is so much higher than the front, i've no back seats because of the dog so there's less weight in the back. I have been thinking, is it worth spending £120 just to make it sit a little lower? But if the ride and handling is better...

He's northern, he likes northern things, as well as ruining DCi's. :p

It's the tears of mother earth as you destroy her with CO2.

My car's still broken so the next meet i'll be at is the RR day.

The threads will be rusty as they stick out the bottom of the chassis, WD40 and a breaker bar will do the trick, just prey they don't snap.

Yes, that's why the exhaust tips are so far apart.

Nice, got any pics of the actual car?

I love Land Rovers, got any pics?

That's mint, i'd drive around in that all day long!

The Vibra Tecnics uprated mounts are over £100 quid, so it's either OEM or uprated, i'm sure some of the traders on here can beat Renaults prices.

Upper engine........mount?

The XR3i was the ultimate/original Chav car back in the 90s, but the word Chav hadn't been invented yet, so we just called them tw*ts instead. While most of you were getting your nappies changed, McDonalds car parks were full of XR3i's perfecting handbrake turns. :cool:

Just because something's old doesn't make it a classic, now if it was the GSI then that would be a fair price seeing as it needs work, but a 1.2? They're dreaming imo. There are loads of 20 year old Escorts out there, but only the XR3i's and RS Turbos are considered classics, the rest are just...

£1200 quid for a 20 year old 1.2 with no tax or mot?

This is how I stop people from seeing in the boot. I don't have any back seats because of my Alsation, the waterproof cover is from argos and is purely there to stop everything getting covered in mud, but from the outside it just looks like a seat cover. There's no way of securing the boot...

What's wrong with PTFE gaskets then? I've had them on mine when Jam Sport did my inlets, they seemed like decent lads when I was there, i'm sure they'd sell you some if you paid for postage.

So are all forum 'Users' only allowed 5 posts a day?

It's the kind of car a 6 year old would draw on the back of his maths book.......whilst on crack.
