It seems its been a while since I was last on the forum, 4 years according to the stats :oops: but here is the latest tat in the tux fleet. Not sure it qualifies a shite, despite the rusty wheelarch, but meh.

I thought I'd recognised the numberplate, I spotted the car at Powke Lane Motor Sales in Blackheath, West Midlands:

 

 

Small world! It did indeed come (indirectly) to me from that very dealer. Only bought it because it had a towbar fitted and I needed a tow mule sharpish, but I've quite got attached to it now. I'll sort some pics out, give us 5 mins!

Liking the Nightfire Red 800. Love that colour. Mines done even less mileage than that has!

Its been nowhere!

It reads 58880!

 

But to be honest, it does have its bad points, like rusty wheelarch syndrome. Probably not too bad to sort if done now before it gets worse.

Bugger, not improving? No worry, a shite sandwich will see you right as rain. Here's my fleet of shit, currently in transition:

1966 Amazon, bowled but not out, currently SORN.

Here it is resting purposefully. Parts cache slowly building.

1990 Volvo 480 ES, viciously sold to sporty-shite but still sulking at the unit.

1985 Peugeot 305 S5 Estate. Potentially brilliant but stymied by the most hateful carburettor in the entire universe.

It also exists at night.

ooerr Tux - I've been flirting with the idea of a nice early 827 luxovitesse with the BEIGE VELOUR SEATS OMG AWSUM for a while now but its really wierd - in the last 2-3 months 800's especially earlier ones have started to shoot up in plrice!

 

Back to hospital tomorrow - will know if I'll be back in for the next 2 weeks then

 

well fed up - but the quality of some of the chod on the site at the moment is fugging legendary!

The ax is fitted with a saxo vts mill, it looks like a giffer's shopping trolley but will happily show most modern hot hatches a clean set of flaps!

^ Now that sounds interesting, any engine bay shots?.

 

Sure have, I'm afraid its a bit ebaytastic under there, the cam covers are purely the least leaky set I could find as citroen don't sell the seals separately.

 

I'm hoping to tone it all right down eventually, but at the moment it's at work because the inner cambelt cover warped and started rubbing on the cam sprocket... no does want!

 

The fat bastard in this shot is yours truly:
