That VDP's Conrad D. Conrad D. Conrads  isn't it?

 

Indeed.

 

My haunted Rover shat its engine on the collection thread for it, and it shat its gearbox on the collection thread for my Talbot.

I guess we're even, Conrad?

I don't know if it's because he has two giant stone copies of my dog up his drive, or just because I'm a knobhead, but I've had this first bid on this

I know this car very well and can assure you, that it's one of the best kept examples in the country.

I don't know whether to be overjoyed, or just cry. This is very strong money (and un-original engine) but dead rare now. I sold mine years back for about £1500 or something and thought I'd had a right touch.

Yeah, mine spread most of it's engine along the Runcorn bridge, (including the starter motor which was damaged by a conrod on it's way out through the block.

I think it's an old Meat Loaf lyric, from his 'wilderness' years.

Don't know if it still is.....but this was Jaguar engined.

 

It used to be based at Kingsclere down near Newbury.  

 

Be nice to see it spared the ignominy of hen parties etc.

 

 

 

Although no reason it couldn't be called out to Shitefest. Tell the strippers to sod off and then enjoy the vehicle.

Ahhh the good old 2.0 8 valve from the late '80's I managed to destroy the engine in my dads mk3 Cav sri in the fast lane of the M11. It chucked a rod through the block and took out the starter motor. Which was a shame as it was still running when I got it to the hard shoulder and would of driven the last few miles to get it off the motorway if I could of got it started. It was a weak point in the engines at the time they snapped the con rods just below the small end bearing for no good reason.

I have to say, I reckon this chap is an exception to the usual rule of eBay fuckwittery, laziness and ignorance. I genuinely reckon he's doing the best he can.

 

I'd actually buy him a drink.

Low cost new shaped focus. Look at the rust though, definitely the spiritual successor to the mkII escort. Heritage.

 

typical Ford! Oh, bugger, I've just bought one of their rust buckets!

The advertiser advertised it as some welding needed... No.... it needs a whole lot more...

 

Well, first bloody n00b mistake in classic car buying, innit?

 

I run a classic prestigue and sports car restoration business so I know what I am talking about.

 

Evidently not.

 

An easy repair but the body has to come off.

 

Easy repair and body off are mutually exclusive.

 

So in total honesty it needs a body off,  recommend full floor pans each side of the chassis, both sides heater channels, front outer panel, front inner panel, lower inner front wing repair panels (spare wheel well.)

 

Holy shit!

 

Not a big job

 

Are you sure you have ever tackled somethig of this magnitude?

 

I have fully restored a Beetle before

 

Why am I not convinced?

 

Well, the rest is good then I hope?

 

The roof and bonnet were damaged due to a vandal jumping on it.

The bonnet can easily be replaced. I have reshaped the roof as best I can. a couple of skims of filler should do the trick

 

Is this your idea of how a classic prestigue (sic) and sports car restoration business run by someone who knows what he is talking about should operate?

 

Anyway, would that be all then?

 

oil leak

 

an exhaust pipe is detached from a exhaust port

 

Recaro seats although lightly covered in yellow overspray

 

No headlining

 

it will cut out unless you keep your foot on the throttle

 

The handles are different on the doors

 

I think it's a wicked 60's tax exempt Beetle, genuine Cal Look, converted to the earlier style, that's totally worthy of a restoration.

 

I think it's fucked and you are a dinglebrain the size of Canada.
