I cant believe this thread is still going I thought it would be buried by now :sleepy:

quick update
The car is currently off road with the front suspension removed as I am trying to make arrangements for a local motor sport outfit to rebuild them asap as BG Motorsport cannot do them till mid November

I have fixed the alarm and locking problem, having two new PE2's on the front and I will be tackling the rust on the backbox shortly.

A new steering wheel has been ordered as mine looked like someone has eaten it! other than that the only outstanding problem is the handbrake and a thorough clean :approve:

Quite a few 100k+ 172/82's on here now

nby surely you would be better off changing the back-box?

All those things you have listed are wear and tear?

My only concern would be the engine but it seems to be holding up pretty well, why wouldnt it i suppose!

The engine should go on for a lot longer, if looked after. I hope so anyway, mines on over 100k now.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I could not get the shocks refurb'ed in time for the MOT as it was due Wednesday 14th so instead of forking out for cup shocks i'd rather just leave it where it is and use my other car until it is done properly it also gives me time to tidy her up.

@Fletcher; it will be changed later but for now its staying as is

 

[Fletcher]

Good stuff. hopefully see it at a future CS meet mate.

 

[Englebert]

So your new here?

you're.

cheers for the comments and I guess I did the right thing in buying it!? , as for the questions on how it drives .. it still pulls like a train and the gearbox shifts smoothly with no worrying noises.

I will take it to a RR one day and see how many horses it still has..

I will start a project thread shortly after I get some pictures.

As far as i know Mark Fish should be able to refurb them, he's just north east of the M25 mate in Harlow.

Takes an hour or so from this neck of the woods.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

you're.

Thanks for that.

So you must practice being a cunt in the mirror for house, great job
