Guest happydaze Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi, Just a brief bit about me, from sunny old essex been a mechanic for far too long. Had lots of cabs over ther years. but this one is something else. The car is a H plate rs turbo converted, konis all round and lowering kit, size 10 front mount intercooler painted in st orange, matching half leather interior and dash. Someone has spent a small fortune on this. Sad to say, Its not so good when i found it, Paid all the money for it spent ages getting it running right (197bhp at the wheels) anyone know previous owner as i would to find out whats been done. ill put some pics up at the weekend. Thanks for reading Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happydaze Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 sorry about the pics the light was shocking. The scuttle panel damage I suspect that the bonnet has popped open at some time or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 thought it may be that one, it was on eBay about 6 months ago, i offered the seller 1200 but think he sold it for 15 & if I remember rightly he took it in pc, bonnet has flown up on it. (I remember all orange cabs lol) sorry don't know its history tho lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happydaze Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 oh christ yeah, gearbox fooked, front mount full of oil and water, no plate over the nearside vent, interior door cards hanging off 70% of electrics not working glove box held in with sticky tape, engine loom wiring shot, bleed valve wide open as the bolt had been removed, so you can imagine how well the roof works, interior also covered in oil, and the boot was full of mouldy coco pops. but hey its orange, its battered but its a turbo bastard with no roof that hunts down modern cars and eats them for brekkie i love it, i will fix it and enjoy it even more.
