droofer

i bought a 4.0 auto limited from an auction for work, god the thing flew! straight 6 ,and someone i work with bought a 2.5?? td, of the same year and approx same miles, the derv one (that was on the road was absolutley rotten! the petrol one was mint. he replaced the derv woth another later model cherokee and that spat its diff out on the way home from buying it!. so i would have one, but it would have to be mint and cost the same as a pack of kp cashew nuts.

we have a 2004 sdi , we've had it from new, its predominatley my wifes car, absolutley love the thing, we both do, restoration thread will be active in around 15 years time.

My grandad bought a 2 year old estelle 120 lse, from a skoda dealer in stockport, he bought it in early 1988, the dealer gave me a matchbox model of the rally estelle at the time(still got it,boxed ) my grandad died in mid 1989, so we had to sell the car,as my dad didnt want to finance it, ive just checked the reg on dvla (C955 BNB) and its last liability was 01/11/1993, so it only looks like it only lasted 7-8 years

im on page 7 of your build thread, and now my dinners over. so glad the cavalier has gone to a good home

hope you got back ok matey.

HNF403V(i think) a handpainted (cornflower blue) renault 12 TL, i have got a thing for these in a big way,i started taking lessons in this it was my dads, and we used to go on asda longsights car park in the early 90's in it.he then told me it was mine when i passed my test, then someone offered him £350 for it and he took it ,it was a lot of money for one then,when i was a kid, it was all we ever owned, every weekend was spent stripping 12s at the local scrappy,,howard on redgate lane scrappys in gorton, he used to not let anyone have any bits off them till me and my dad had arrived.so cool. ive hankered for one ever since, but when one does turn up, im in no postition to buy it(either skint or too many projects). A463 YWJ 83' mini sprite, with a metro vanden plas 1300 and loads of other trick bits, i bought it as a 998 at the beginning of 95 after my dad died, as his motorbility clio had to go back, i then put it in at the 1275 centre at brinksway for graham to rebuild the scuttles, and then did the trransplant. awesome car, sold it to someone who wanted the engine, after i met my missus and the landlady in the flat we were renting told me the neighbours had complained about it being in the back. (they didnt, and sher was a bitch- ) C499 EBA 85 nova sr in jamaica yellow,with white doors.1st car my wife has ever been behind the wheel in. there are loads of others id like back,like the capri green polo gt hatch or the golf 1600cl, or the golf tdi mk3 estate,but i would really love a renner 12.and if it was an estate id probably wee.

i met you in halfords car park, just after you got it,seen this ovlov in the flesh and looks pretty good for the money, cheap motoring ftw!. not my cup of tea, but a good buy! have you posted the pics of the acclaim yet??

pictures of the inside added.

ford 2.0 pinto water pump - main dealer £67 & vat halfords £15 with trade card-no vat fuel pump for same- halfords £147 gsf -£71

they dont look too bad, thats probably till you start poking about

vw transporter- head gasket gone. vauxhall cavalier- needs taxing, but i havent got the money to tax it, i can raise the money by .........................selling the cavalier............ doh. 04 polo - perfect in every way, but its the wifes, and she needs it. gonna wash my big coat, charge the mp3 and get on shanks pony to work next week.

i like that too, thought nothing beats the denem, there seem to be less of them around than r12s.which is a shame.

sorry guys, its an 8 valve, so that means a full headset is £30, cheapness, if needed, was ging to do it, but the head gasket has gone on my van also.

1993 2.0 i automatic, in burgandy metallic,passenger mot may 11 tax runs out oct10, but has been sorned as of tomorrow. side elec window doesnt work, and when it gets warm, the header tank bubbles so suspect head gasket requires replacement,drives fine and autobox works well.has a slight misfire on startup, but clears afetr a couple of mins, no oil in water/water in oil,too good to scrap, oh, its had a new exhaust, has a sunroof and all the tyres are ok. has an sc303 std radio in and an electric aerial,i have the logbook also. £200. car is in manchester cheers ed 07854707927

it is my cavalier on rr mentioned earlier in the thread, i took it as a px on a saxo i was selling(never usually do it, but helped the guy out),by now it should be sat in a scrapyard, as i dont need it, but instead it is still on the drive, as its really clean,i could weigh it in but i believe that they are rare,i havent seen one in yonks.(apart from mine)
