[320touring]

Excellent work gents!

[SambaS]

I'm so excited, even if it turns out to be a bit of a dog... it's barely run in!

[KruJoe]

I know you hate the colour, but I'll just leave this here for you.

 

[DodgyBastard]

There's one in my local breakers, will find a pic...

H991 YSR..... cant find any info on that one, is it black?

[DodgyBastard]

it's blue!

[SambaS]

A deal has been struck. The money for the car is now in the south of England. It's in the hands of fate now, as I know if the scrap men come out they will be hard pushed to leave without it.

 

Not counting my chickens yet but massive thanks to TwoSmoke for agreeing to help with this

[Jim Bell]

Count all the chickens now.

Nothing can go wrong.

Life's too short to not count chickens yet.

EPIC.... no, really

 

As a side thought - what ever happened to the (I think it was a Sierra estate??) that a lad had on his lawn with NO T&T, and the Wife after him with a chainsaw......

 

he bought it 'to save' for Humanity [& auto$hite]??

[SambaS]

Nice one TwoSmoke! Is it any good?

[320touring]

Woop:)

[SambaS]

I hope it's not too good as I wont dare use it!

[SambaS]

This came in the post so I can decide what colour I want my Charade Diesel Turbo in

 

[twosmoke300]

Well , its home . Dragged it in behind the van with no real issues until we turned into my lane where I heard a scraping noise and brother tooted the horn . We both thought the exhaust had fallen off but it was infact the fuel tank !! Obviously the 2 cable ties that the previous owner used to temp hold it up had given up . Quick bit of rope bodging and we made it . Lucky it didnt happen on the road tho.

 

Its a bloody tidy old car too . Rear arches and sills look sound and the mileage is beliveable.

 

Sorry for the crap phone pics but I was in a rush and im no photographer.

 

Bodge ups

Winner!!

[twosmoke300]

Bonus totally unrelated trout tickling pics of me during a road trial a few years ago.

Just found them when uploading the charade pics

 

Starting to go wrong

 

Gone wrong

 

 

[SambaS]

Oh it looks lovely thank you so much TwoSmoke, I'd have cried if this ended up back in the scrap yard!

[KruJoe]

So what's been going on with the fuel tank/pump/lines then?

[twosmoke300]

It was at a scrappies and some one had the pump .

[KruJoe]

Bloody hell - I didn't realise it was that close to being frag fodder.

Well saved lads!

[SambaS]

BASTARDS

[twosmoke300]

Well worth saving I reckon.

[SambaS]

Joe the seller purchased it from a scrappy as a project, I think. Then never did anything with it. They were coming out for it again this week I phoned just in time

[SambaS]

Should I buy this?

[SambaS]

Just been offered one from a GTti on the Owners Club FB page. Jury is out on whether it would suit a lower powered car
