Still working great. It's even got a new companion! No, the Datsun is not mine. Have a 323 of the same vintage, boot seal also leaks. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I replaced the boot seal so it doesn't leak anymore. Great fix for a few quid! BlankFrank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I have bought this car from hairnet as it doesn't seem likely that he'd be able to use it anytime soon. I have no plan to sell it on right now so consider this a far away AS Bike, indeed if anyone wish to visit this fine* country to try this fine* performance machine just give me a quick notice.

Conan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Heyyooo, you might think this thing's completely gone. That's not the case. Late last year the 626 shat it's clutch slave cylinder, right before Covid case spiked and semi-lockdown happened. So I've mothballed this for 2 months. Haven't done a single thing to it. Then as everything eased, my dad went and replaced the slave cylinder and start it up every once in a while. But we don't have the vacuum tool to bleed the system. Today I only just got the chance to visit this bastard thing again. We bled the system. I treated it to an oil and filter change. Went out for a drive. I haven't driven it for 5 months, almost forgot how brilliant it is. And the clutch is now toight like a toiger. Then it did this. Ungrateful shit. Ps. Forgot to say, as already mentioned, I have actually bought this thing from hairnet. Jim Bell, BlankFrank and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Holy fucking shit, I still owns this. Haven't seen it in 3 months due to Covid lockdown. But I did just spend 140 quid buying some bits for it (a grand in two days, ouch, more details over the Volvo thread). Forward driving lights, door seals, CV boots. Pretty much hen's teeth at this point so I'm pretty chuffed. I'll have to wait until Covid restriction to lift until I can do anything to it, however. crad, LightBulbFun, The Moog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I ordered more stuff for this thing. Complete gasket kit (head gasket, manifold gaskets, valve stem seals, front/rear main seals, valve cover gasket, etc. Even little bits and bobs). Head bolts Water Pump I might also soon be ordering some more stuff such as bearing and piston rings. You don't have to guess what I am planning for this, should be pretty clear. I'll be spending £2,000 to make a car worth £500. Seems the Autoshite way. Asimo and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I still have this thing. I was supposed to take it to a shop to sort out the air con compressor and alternator in September when the area where I store this thing got a flood warning. Do not worry though as I've preemptively moved it to the high grounds and it's perfectly safe even where I normally store it. The area is still flooded though so I can't get to it but maybe in a week or so I'll be able to. I bought some wheels for it as well. Period correct mesh in 15 inches so I can fit proper tyres on it. I have been looking for a set since forever and it's pretty much perfect. Can't wait to put them on. Not bad for 130£. Maybe when I properly get it back home I'll make a new thread...

STUNO Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Had not seen this. I had a 1985 Mazda 626 in the late 80's but I called it a Ford Telstar. Liked it a lot ! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 They drive waaaayyy better than any ordinary 1980's family saloon have any rights to. I can't wait to sort it out and use it again. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
