red5 Fleet/Hangar update 18/12/24

[red5]

So, just the GSXR 1000 k2  - currently slumbering. Awaiting a dry day. Braaaaapppp.

 

 

That seems to be it. I think. Enjoy, or not. Either way, it's my AS.

[red5]

Ah, no. The K plate Fronterror on the first page. Retrieved from DD's hedge. . Awaiting exhaust and MOT. And space. And...

[Lord Sterling]

2.8 td Lwb - the dog's car/van/laner/hack.

 

Currently used as red5 loan car. Looking at you Mo.

Seemingly unkillable.

Massive appreciation from this end Sam! I really like it, it just does what it does without complaint and it is very likeable. I can see why you like Fronteras.

Text me your address and that, because I need to update the V5 details I think.. unless I gave you the whole thing.  I forget..

 

You'll be pleased to know the garage is clear of brambles too now, ready for me to get the ST220 out and re-commission.

Nice work. Steady - like me 

 

I'll pm it over DD

[AlabamaShrimp]

Next Frontera mk1 you get that'd going to its death I need a headlight squirter for mine. The bugger shoots a jet all over the road when you try and wash the windscreen.

[Ghosty]

P reg Proton, that's late

 

I was wondering where the Geep went.

[red5]

Hangar update.

Hmm.

D3 2007

Working as intended. Supremely capable. Not that bad on fuel. Has that unstoppable feel about it. So that's screwed that now I mentioned it.

D2 2001.

Two balljoints, chassis welding and a wiring repair later, MOT.
Will post a pic up at some pojnt, or split the threads. Maybe.

Frontera Sport 92.
Still not fitted rear springs, clutch slave cylinder or rear drums and shoes. Still starts and drives. Nominally sold.

Scud. Sold.

Fiesta 1990 2.0 Zetec.
Fiesta not moved since MOT.
Awaiting fuel lines, tank out for sender fettling- gauge reads backwards.
Needs a lower engine mounting and someone who can put more time in to it really
It's warm and dry more importantly.
Had an offer to break it for parts- it's got RS1800 ecu and various bits that would fetch decent money. I'd rather not mind, it having made it this far.

Vectra C 2006.
Mot. Check.
Service. Check.
Coolant flush. Check.
Wiper linkage -fell off. Replacement arm. Fell off. Awaiting fitment of two new arms. Sold. So naturally bits fall off now.

 

 

 

[red5]

I'll actually take some pictures and put them up, but it's too cold. Or similar.

I really must  - 

a-fix Fiesta

b-find it a more deserving home.

[red5]

So I need to replace this.

 

With these.

Wiper arms loose, scuttle panel been off already. What could go wrong. 

 

[red5]

Do not buy the cheap ones. They are shit.

 

[red5]

Current.

D3 2.7 HSE Auto.  Jack of all. Ace. Bits falling off-loads.

New rear prop. 

New NSF inner CV boot.

Awaiting- front and rear drop links, bottom arms, front prop. 😁

 

 

[red5]

Current 

Frontera A 2.0 (leafer for the uninitiated).

New rad.

Two new rear springs, bushes, u bolts and shackles.

Alternator earth return repaired.

Oil and filter changed. 

Needs - using a bit more. Gearbox and diff oils. Cutch master cylinder kit. Blah blah 

 

[red5]

Fiesta. 

Brraaaaap.

Needs smaller wheels. Or less lower springs.

Bottom arms. Probably. Engine mount a bit soft. Rust proofing the filler cap area-bit thin...

😁

[red5]

D2.

Still weeping....😁.

Still tentatively for sale.

Probably.

That little red Frontera A is a great thing.

My Dad just got a 2.2 lwb on an 03, and I used it over the weekend.  It wants the brakes doing and some of the rear sills are getting a bit a thin but quite why these proper 4wd on chassis cars get the bad rep they do is beyond me.

[red5]

Update time...somewhat overdue.

 

Current - 

D3. just passed it's test.

In need over front and rear lower arms/bushes. So will fit the RR sport ones (heavier duty option).

Front prop rear joint is tired.  Wobbly tired now.

Still not replaced noisy injector on no6/3/make your mind up L-R.

Fixed the random issue with limp mode/no go/lamps on (fuel pressure related  - ha!)

rear pads, discs and shoes still waiting to go on...:-)

 

D2.

Replaced front axle seal.

And the bbj gaiter.

And the clips.

And...

So now it doesn't piss EP everywhere. Probably.

Still tentatively for sale, however it's Winter, it's unstoppable and does 30-33 on a tank commuting. So....

 

[red5]

Collected a Fiesta 1.2 16 from off here.

Then ignored it.

Then peeled all the shonky stickers off. 

Then refitted the superb high level brake lamp accessory.

Then put it in for a test.

Hmm.

 

 

[Floatylight]

Good to see the Fiesta survive another year, how's the bodywork holding up?

Pretty good - the one arch repair is a bit poorly painted but rest is pretty good.

Small patch and a drop link = Mot

Filled up - half the price of the D3...
