Whichever brand and price you think is the right compromise. Unfortunately I don't know any of the 3 remaining brands but a quick Google search should give you an idea which brand has some experience in manufacturing quality parts.

Morning, not so much the make , from previous research I've heard there is two different sizes ....

Another problem for another day..

Today i've got to collect my elderly neighbours ashes from the crematorium and then deal with his widow s grieving ... could be a busy day 😕😕

I’m thinking the one for the Scout camp run had an actual floor, or see the pack being the Anthill mob.

My lad went to scout camp in one of these, the sliding door fell off and that was its final journey...

Just call it an 825i and crack on.

Anyway, should be a simple enough engine to work on...

I see this as a learning oppertunity. You can compare both halves of the engine and see which bit is failing like having a template. Do it quick though before the other half borks.

Minerals?

Like... quartz?

The only place I've come across Minerals used in this kind of context is Ireland. Auld lads call fizzy pops minerals from Mineral Tonics.

Worth £350 for seats and engine. If you've got space and the facilities to take it to bits, probably worth snapping it up. 81k mileage isn't too scary.

Definatley considered it, before I was a bmw nerd I had a succession of pumas, including a late 01' puma Black with them mondeo fake split rims, fond memories! It's not far from me either...

Oh that's a real shame. Imported from Switzerland in the 90s and with the same owner ever since. Here it is spotted a few months ago at its North London home (not by me)

If it's going to be broken there are lots of bits I'd like for mine (wheels, bumpers) but it does seem that once something goes on Copart is just disappears forever

Well, I guess I'll be eating my hat for christmas dinner. Now on Facebook with a private seller. MoT'd til May 2022. Quite a lot of money, but you could make this into a very, very nice car I think.

You could make almost anything into a very very nice car if you throw enough time and money at it.

That's hilariously fucking overpriced for the condition it's currently in, and being a left-hooker won't help it either.

 

I paid £700 (admittedly on here) for a 1.8D with an MOT until August 2022 in similar, if not marginally better, cosmetic condition.

Phase 1 GT tho, that's a pretty desirable spec. But yeah, I think it's more than double its true value at the moment. Wonder what it sold for on Copart?

The  ex-Parducci ice creàm van sold minerals, their nearby rivals called them aerated waters.  Hardly any point when the punters asked for a bottle of juice, or ginger anyway.

MOT history on that is a depressing tale of neglect but at least someone finally bothered to fix the CV boots after being told for 7 years on the trot they were almost fooked. Looks like a £500 car to me.

Early MK1 Fiestas came in cool non metallic colours. Very seventies.

For me, that is the ur-Transit. It probably varies depending on your birth year or spirit animal but that early-80s black grille seems perfect to me. Ford does 'functional' really well. The first Transit Connect is another good example. 

Unfortunately I only like panel vans and not pickup.
