catsinthewelder Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 There was some quality shite to see. I passed a house on the way down with what looked like a proper Fiat 500 and a Volvo 164 on the drive with something else under a tarp. I saw a few things on the way back, tatty Suzuki X90, tidy pov spec MK3 Fiesta and my load bus yard who I've heard might have ceased trading had an Optare Alero and an LDV Convoy visible. Cavcraft and mk2_craig 2

red5 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 It's nice here, if a little narrow and steep. More of that later. Cavcraft 1

Dick Cheeseburger Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Logged as a two litre - would that make it a 2i? Essential work right there fella. #girlracer
red5 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 2.0 silvertop. Fiesta turbo box. Cosworth front brakes. Si batwing seats. Or RS/XR. Black dash! stephen01, scdan4, mercedade and 11 others 14
Dannyk Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 That is cool also found this in a box of crap, if any use i can post it out after the apocalypse has finished Rave, Skizzer, Angrydicky and 3 others 6
mk2_craig Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 That black dash came from a slightly later diesel which had succumbed to an engine bay fire. I both removed it and fitted it, nearly twenty years ago! mercedade, Dick Cheeseburger and red5 3
red5 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 So, possibly some sort of update to follow. If people like this sort of thing on here now. paulplom, scdan4, The Moog and 7 others 10

red5 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 Nice one chap. There aren't many pictures at the moment for obvious reasons ... Suffice to say it's salted away safely at the moment.
red5 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 However...... See that delocked boot? That's you that is... See the boot mounted battery? Ah. New battery fitted after some 90's twoc related shenanigans. Brakes roughly freed off (gently mind - strip incoming) New timingbelt and tensioner fitted. Looked at alarm and immob and thought...meh....it'll come off at some point but lets see... Fuel pump is seized it appears. feck. Runs on a squirt though Sam Kowalski, UltraWomble, BlankFrank and 6 others 9

red5 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 So, a bit of an update. Brakes sort of freed off. Cambelt and tensioner replaced. Battery replaced. Random wires checked, reconnected, etc. Sub and amp disconnected - head unit kept by po. Old V5 found. History / reciepts found, filed. Show spec sheet found. Handy. Fluids checked - ok. Obviously due a change, but no emulsification or swarf etc. Fuel tank removed. Ah. Free advice - store vehicles with a full tank. Fuel pump seized. Tank surafce rusty. Sender rusty. Obtain spi tank, sender and pump assm. Fit. No key for shonky fuel cap. Use previously gained knowledge to effect removal with no panel damage. Apply fuel. No leaks. scdan4, CreepingJesus, Dannyk and 12 others 15
