D Spares & Tyres Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Probably something wrong with her phone. Not sure how good those BlackBerry devices are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbo Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 This has turned into a bit of a mare! Originally I was told the car was in Dipford which is near Taunton, now I have been told it is actually in Diptford which is near Totnes. The owner also seems to be pretty much uncontactable so this poor car may end up part of a Time Team excavation in a few hundred years time. Apologies to Steve79 who was planning to try to rescue the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMotor Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Good save. Looks not too bad at all despite being sat outside. See it's a had a plate welded in the usual inner arch area, but was the shell fine otherwise? Seeing that XE on the floor reminds me of my first MK3 Cavalier. XE swapped and was plenty fun. Sounded good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Wow, I didn't realise this one was saved in the end. Any photos of the unearthing? How much welding did the old girl need? Brilliant to see it still in one piece and looking to live still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunR Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Underneath needed some welding sills all in good condition and where the subframe bolts to the shell those needed attention lucky i local fabricator/welder helped me out with the welding then with the engine she ran but the oil in it was like trickle toffe so just decided if i went this far might aswell stick a XE in it JMotor and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMotor Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Excellent. Got to the point with old Vauxhalls; that if it doesn't need a whole 8x4's worth of metal welding in, it's a good un 😂. Please keep us updated. I'd love to see it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
