S1 Rallye

[leeds_182]

Get rid and keep the scooby, i love that car.

Ive had a rethink on the scooby and will probably be keeping it. On reflection, it seems crazy to sell when I've got it to how I want it.

 

[Mr R.]

Great news, that car is epic and so bloody clean. :approve:

 

[imprezaworks]

Great news on the scoob. The old rallye's are great although never owned one. But as proven they can be a pain.

 

[leeds_182]

From one s**t box to another;

 

[welshname]

That the one you were originally looking at with the good engine?

 

[Ash']

Doning an engine?

 

[leeds_182]

Doning an engine?

Sorry for the late reply - yes, that's the plan.

 

[leeds_182]

Found a guy selling an s1 wing in black!

Should be turning up next week hopefully.

 

[Ash']

Good stuff! Love this project, shame it has been a bit troublesome so far.

 

[leeds_182]

Good stuff! Love this project, shame it has been a bit troublesome so far.

Aye, it's a shame that I now expect it to break down when I drive it but I'm sure I'll get there.

 

[leeds_182]

Bought this today for when I go all track car and strip it!

 

[leeds_182]

Engine ready to be swapped over.

​

 

[Daz.]

Ooooooo!

 

[Matthew]

Boom!

 

[leeds_182]

Rallye in for the engine taking out;

 

[leeds_182]

Engines out!

 

[_Tom]

Been using the work vehicle?

 

[leeds_182]

Been using the work vehicle?

Just passing through...

 

[leeds_182]

Box out for yet another rebuild!

 

[leeds_182]

The gearbox of doom is on it's way back. According to the guy it had been bodged previously.

Stephen Brear in leeds is the guy I used - seems like a very knowledgable guy and turned it round quickly.

Fingers crossed!

 

[imprezaworks]

Hope its ok mate

 

[leeds_182]

Cheers mate. I felt a little in over my head after taking the casing off!

 

[_Tom]

This thing is going to be pretty ridiculous once completed.

 

[leeds_182]

Getting there;

Engine and box are back together and hoping to drop them in tomorrow.

 

[Gouldy]

Loving this! Only just seen your thread.

Looks like it should be a beast when it's finished.

 

[Matthew]

Are doing all this yourself mate? If so, I'm impressed...

Wouldn't have a scoobydoo.

 

[leeds_182]

Wouldn't have a scoobydoo.

In a word. No.

 

[leeds_182]

Bought this new wing today rather than trying to repair the other.

 

[cat171]

What happened to the black Rallye wing you got ?

 

[imprezaworks]

In a word. No.

Flol

 

[leeds_182]

What happened to the black Rallye wing you got ?

Never happened. The seller said he was too busy to post it. I'd still be getting it painted so doesn't make that much difference.

 

[leeds_182]

Progress!

 

[Ash']

Great progress was it fairly straight forward?

 

[LiamR172]

Good going! Be a good wee sleeper when it's all finished.

 

[leeds_182]

Started up first time tonight. Few more bits to do but getting there.

 

[imprezaworks]

Start ok?

 

[leeds_182]

Start ok?

On the button, baby!

 

[Mr R.]

Great news.

 

[imprezaworks]

On the button, baby!

Excellent mate
