As bought

 

Head gasket done

 

Couple of small holes patched

And MOT. Hurrah!

 

Strip knackered interior. Look, no rust!

 

Buff up the mighty orangness, lower by 3 inches and use as daily

 

 

That'll do for now...

W00f! Super.

I love the look of that car....and the orange is a bonus.Let me know if it comes up for grabs!

Good to see the pic's, and great to know that it lives after being jumped on then stored with me - worth the effort!String trick to hold up the chain during head gasket change is interesting. With Datsun they suggest a wedge of wood.Many of you at the R-R 'meat' last night?

Seems like you say that about everything!

Does it? There is such a lot I like but it was only really SL's Accord and I would still have loved to own it.

 

Of course, I'd like an E28 beemer, and W123 TE Merc, and early Accord with twin headlights and virtually any 70's or 80's Audi!!!

 

Trouble is, distance/price & the better half are the deciding factors - usually they are too far away from me.

 

I'm not working so anything too expensive to run is a waste of time too - doesn't stop me liking them though eh.

 

And who knows what the circumstances will be when something does come up for sale??

 

In case you missed it, I bought this from Mr Bollox - fitted all my criteria, cheap to run, plenty of T&T, in tidy condition and local - jobs a goodun!

It was great to see it back from the dead, and take it for a spin in its new, non-missfiring form. It's a really sweet little car to drive, if not exactly quick. Having said that, it does go sideways quite nicely on the field outside the Angel.

The Futures Bright....

 

The Futures....

[marinast]

Surely it should be "The futures Shite.... the futures Orange"

[TheScrapman]

It simply wasn't low enough...

 

 

Ahh, better.

You silly boy Wheels look better too, classic low-rent 323 modification as seen on two cars belonging to people on here and OJC. Might have some 13" trim rings if you want them.
