My New Yee - haw Pick Up Truck

[Yarp]

They could have given it a dingle-ball rebuild, when it really needed a rebore.

or they flattened the cam after the rebuild, and fucked the bores in the process.

Both good points. There’s 100% some top quality turbo mong behaviour been conducted, whatever has gone on 🙁

 

[leeds_182]

Short lived and expensive.

This thread should be locked.

Yee'd it's last yaw

Guy who bought it is gonna use it for bike deliveries. That’s an expensive delivery!

 

[seb]

i almost text you from your ebay advert to see if i could make the GC chat on time wasters but I thought you've already been kicked in the balls on this truck enough LOL

 

[leeds_182]

New owners not messing about.

 

[leeds_182]

Went to view this tonight. It was cheap but had a pretty severe oil leak so my arse fell out.

 

[R3k1355]

Where was it leaking from? Could get a decent chunk off to find it's just a few gaskets and some sealant.

 

[Brigsy]

Typical yank motor. If its not leaking oil out of the engine and transmission, its not got any in

 

[Yarp]

Just cover most the engine in black gasket marker. Worked an absolute treat on one of my old Vauxhalls that was leaking oil from pretty much ever orifice.

If you’re particularly bothered you could even fit an undertray to catch the drips and pretend they aren’t happening at all 👍

My clios all have undertrays for this exact reason. All have a little drip from the crank seal area, job to fix one day

Yeah, it was the fact when I asked him if it would get me the 80 miles home his reply was ‘erm, no sure’.

Plus he tried to blame the oil leak on a Cherokee that was on the drive, despite there been a Hansel and gretel trail where we’d just been on the test drive.

I’ve bid him in the balls this morning so I’ll see if I get a reply.

I wanna build one of these

Cheap 2 door UK Ranger, £5k of Mustang Coyote engine and box,

£15k would build you a mad one.

State of that coming blasting past on the motorway. 🤣🤣

 

[leeds_182]

Possible financial ruin incoming.

 

[Crybert]

Smoke coming through the dash 🥰. Let’s get some cancer!

 

[Stay Puft]

Wtf is it? 🤣

 

[Cads]

You have massive testicles!!!

 

[McGherkin]

I’m telling Rishi you have too much money

 

[bashracing]

Not for long




How deep do you want to be in to that Jim, I reckon there's another £3k needed on that

 

[Bluebeard]

Absolute scrap.

 

[Clart]

Surely you’ve not bought that? Are you insane?

 

[Stefan.]

Possibly your worst buy yet 😅

But credit to you for pursuing your passion in querky cars.

 

[SharpyClio]

I’m assuming he’s bought it and broken down hence the lack of updates…

 

[leeds_182]

I haven’t bought it, it was close but I think I’m gonna pussy out. Apparently the smoke is paint burning off the manifold. I absolutely love foxbody mustangs but as bash says, I think that this might be a step to far.

I wasn’t paying that but it was still serious.

That’s sick.

 

[R3k1355]

Why has he gone to the bother of powder coating odd bits of suspension, but put less than 5 minutes into sorting out the interior?

Standard project car. Do the shiny bits rather than bits that need doing!

 

[leeds_182]

I purchased the Exxon Valdez.

 

[R3k1355]

Excellent job!

 

[Robbie Corbett]

The oil leak - can't be that horrendous to sort can it?

Rocker covers, rear main seal, front timing cover, sump? What else is there?

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I do quite like this slow leeds_182 devolution from 90's Volvos to 80's America, makes for very good pictures and reading sir.

 

[Cads]

What’s the plans with this one then??

To be fair, it doesn’t seem that bad. I think it was exaggerated when I bought the car as it had been pissing it down. It’s certainly not enough to stop me using it anyways.

 

[leeds_182]

Make it lower.

Make it louder.
