Rmx Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 5 speed box going in )) On the search for a different propshaft as the one for a 5speed box is shorter compared to the one on the car......fun times.
SambaS Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Whaaaaaaaaat! Nowt wrong with 4 speeds. Never once though the Polonez needed 5th... Even round Europe Anyway, the guy with the chequebook decides!!
Rmx Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 To put a 5 speed box costs me £300.......considering how much I've spent alteady I might aswell I think. trigger and Inspector Morose 2
SambaS Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Said no one on ebay ever Sometimes happens with mine, they appear okay on the phone then do this. I find uploading onto laptop, check all orientations correct on Windows, then re upload... Unless someone here knows otherwise?
Parky Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Why are they uploading upside down? ((Danut appears to have fitted the Romanian spec anti gravity generation device. Very handy for overtaking in tunnels On another level, another vote for 5 speed. Keep the old box and prop should you ever need to return it to standard. You know, for those times when the local hardman insists your pickup has an even number of forward speeds..... Rmx 1
Rmx Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Just been told by Danut the car will have ceramic laquer? What on earth is that? I thought laquer is laquer........but apparently this is a fancy laquer, only the best for this ultra rare multi million pound vehicle ))))))
Anglevan Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Ceramic lacquer is what they use on new stuff. It's just harder for a more lasting finish. Looking forward to the rest of the pics.
nigel bickle Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Won't that make it too shiny? Modern car look wtc? Loving it. But what on earth are you going to do with it, once done? It'll be too good to use as a pick up? Hope you're driving it back, too. Be a lovely holiday, that! Envious. Does it show?
oldcars Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Why are they uploading upside down? ((loaded them on www.autoshite.au Rmx and eddyramrod 2
Rmx Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 After all the money I've spent on it, it will not be used as a pickUp. To begin with, it will replace my daily driver but with time it will become a weekend driver I think, special occasions and it's also going to be my ride to Le Mans 24hr race this year too, bound to turn a few heads )))) SambaS 1
Rmx Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 ALL, If anyone has anything related to Dacia Shifterossa PLEASE let me know!!! I have only ever seen one article in a newspaper that mentioned Dacia Shifterrosa. I'm very keen on finding out a little bit more about its history........tracked down a guy that used to work for the importer of the cars back in the day on linkedin but he won't accept my request to contacvt him.
Rmx Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 I honestly had a tear in my eye: alf892, vulgalour, mat_the_cat and 18 others 21
trigger Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 That looks excellent! a coat of paint always makes it look more real. P.s I've edited your photos so that they are up the right way. HillmanImp 1
Rmx Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Thank you, I was wondering how come they're the right upside down ))) 4 coats of paint 3 coats of laquer Cavcraft and trigger 2
junkyarddog Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Looks fantastic, Will they be able to get new graphics for the sides? Rmx 1
fordperv Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 can i lick it, it looks tasty, your guy has done a fantastic job with this Rmx and eddyramrod 2
Rmx Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 The graphics will be done once it comes back to me, Danut has politely asked me to have this done as he doesn't have anyone that he truts and is to worried about potential damage to the paint in case it's done wrong. To be honest, unless he can do it or knows someone that he trusts do have it done, he will not undertake the task......which I admire.
panhard65 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 After all the money I've spent on it, it will not be used as a pickUp.

We will be on Houx but in an 807 with a caravan I expect unless I can get the tow bar sorted on the Rolls

vulgalour Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 That's astonishing, hard to believe it's the same truck.
Parky Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Yes. Dacias are for licking.I look forward to seeing this as a future marketing campaign. Rather like "Minis need love too" Dacia Sandero Stepway - lick this muthafuckaz! Lacquer Peel 1
Inspector Morose Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 You sir are a legend. Your services to th unloved and overlooked put me to shame. I officially doff my hat to you.
