DodgyBastard Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Now that I'm close to completion on the paintwork of the old 18 diesel I'm just gauging interest to see if anyone wants it?

It needs a rear wheel cylinder replaced brake shoes and a brake pipe replaced, it broke when removing the old cylinder. It could also do with a new clutch, It's been the same since KinkerSaab had it in 2012 and will slip if not driven carefully.Mileage is around 75k from memory and mot is up in June.It's had a new timing belt, water pump and radiator. New wheel arches welded in, sills have been patched up over the years. It's had a lot of welding underneath and on the inner wings.Interior is filthy, mainly paint dust from removing the paint.Currently fitted is a set of Reliant ss1 alloys but I'll see if I can dig out the original steel wheels.Good project for someone and not many left so might be worth saving.Will need towed/transported due to rear wheel cylinder/brake pipe needing replaced. £400 Fife, Scotland oldcars, Six-cylinder, Dirk Diggler and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derskine Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 New starter, alternator and exhaust not so long ago too. Considering the work that's gone into it, £400 is a bargain. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 This is extremely tempting! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSome points worth mentioning, it would benefit from new sills. In an attempt to get it ready to be taken away I stripped down the rear drum with the burst cylinder and found the shoes have fallen apart, the new cylinder is wrong and I have damaged the brake pipe when removing the old cylinder. It's looking like a trailer job. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk joethornton1986 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisfan Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 It's hard to tell if it's got the spoiler but it's the same hubcaps and obviously same colour, can't have been many up that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's been pedestrianised as long as I can remember! It took me a little while, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
