Stay at home and finish that decorating !

Excellent work!

 

 

So we had a bit of this

 

 

And some of this

 

 

Before we beholded this

 

And the beast

 

Before having some of this

 

A FTP at pez station

 

A combination of bucketeer and moog powers found a loose battery connection

 

So far the following

 

Petrol gauage is French. Was three quarters, but by the time got o Edinburgh it was twitching at the bottom

Speedo gauge nes pas

Seating position is odder than a Frenchman wearing a top hat

Selecting a gear is only slightly easier than Stevie wonder beating cav at darts

Clutch is lower than stealing from a charity collection box

 

 

But it rides really well and definitely had a Gallic charm.....

At least you weren't doing the same - doesn't sound too traumatic as collections go. Espace is lovely.

2000-1 injection was that a Renault joke giving the odds of not having a ftp?

 

 

Looks awesome though

[Skizzer]

Excellent work. I'm very glad this has gone to a good home and is staying in the family.

This was a most welcome sight! Thanks again!

Gr10 for taking massive mirrored doors to the tip

Covered about 450 miles this weekend in the I Space. Mpg is about 28 which I don't know is good or bad.

 

Giving it a motorway run definitely left it running better.

 

Fuel gauge lies more than a tory cabinet minister and the headlights make the xantias look like WW2 searchlight...

 

Must remember to tighten the battery terminals! Keep forgetting

[Guest Hooli]

My word that is an early example of motorised garden shed.

[dollywobbler]

Excelsior. I still think this thing is ace. 28mpg doesn't sound too brilliant. My 21 with the same engine averaged 35 on a run. Maybe the aerodynamics aren't as good as that sleek snout would suggest?

[Parky]

Love that solution to a clutch with a low biting point!

 

Next time I have a car with this problem I might just hammer a 2" deep depression under the clutch pedal - voila!

Sent the pics to my mum..... Things haven't changed

Fuel pump is priming. Tried easy start and no go.

 

Pulled a sparkplug and looks like no spark. Any ideas?
