dome Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 Day 6 of Covid and I'm feeling a lot better and testing negative, trailer booked for Saturday for a collection mission 🤞 Flat4, Supernaut, djim and 2 others 5
dome Posted March 24, 2022 Author Posted March 24, 2022 Batterys on to boil in preparation of collection on Saturday, even though it's coming back on a trailer. Never mind the fact the engine has seized, there are EXCITING FEATURES to enjoy in this one while I wait for the diesel I pour into the bores to hopefully work it's magic. Although, with the price of diesel these days I'd maybe be better off just forking out for a full rebuild😳 inconsistant and cort16 2

Zelandeth Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Old school Subaru 1600/1800? The having something in common with the Alfa is nagging at me. We've established it's not Italian, so that rules out country...so you're basically down to technical details...so engine configuration, hence suggestion of Subaru, or odd details like the transaxle... Oooh... Volvo 340? dome 1

Flat4 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Is it a Brat? I'm thinking with the number of countries ruled out, it has to be something Japanese, at least.

Do tell? I bought my 5 from him - it was a little more expensive than buying privately and he only had it on his premises for six hours before I collected it. It HGF'd and overheated a week later, he had it collected and had AK Automotive in Rowlands Gill stick another engine in it and delivered back to me within a week, with many apologies. I imagine that must have eaten up most of his profit but he didn't flinch, he just acted. yes oui si and dome 2

big_al_granvia Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 rear engined??? you are a mate but this is doing my baws in Flat4 and dome 2
Zelandeth Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Yeah, I'm really struggling now... continuing to lean on the Volvo angle given the 340 guess got a "close" I'd be tempted to say 480... though struggling to come up with a connection there with the original guesses which there are apparently some things shared with. Really curious to find out what this is and see how big the exasperated "How did I not guess that?!?" Reaction from me is... dome and big_al_granvia 2

Not a 480 but does share a feature with one, but not the same one it shares with a 340... Hating me yet? Flat4 1
