Pretty sure he's the boy who got my old 944s2 painted and sold it on to the guy I bought it from. Wish he hadn't used a trowel to paint it, it was rough as arses🙈 He definitely has a reputation...

dome Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share 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 🤞 Supernaut, Flat4, djim and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share 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😳 cort16 and inconsistant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted March 24, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. dome and yes oui si 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
