Thanks Robsey, top man !

That's good going with that sort of mileage, and those digi-dashes still look cool 30+ years on !

Hi all, im in the process of rebuilding the front struts on my turbo and am seeking some info on the front disc back plates. Does anyone know if they differ between models ? The only ones im able to find state they fit the smaller engine'd cars, not 2.0,turbo,v6 etc.

Any help is much appreciated !

Checked for any error codes dazzler? Also maybe lazy sticky pump/relay, blocked fuel filter, or fuel pressure regulator. might be worth checking in line pressure when trying to start. Duff coil pack? Lazy fuel pump? Its got a new walbro uprated pump and wiring, new fuel filter and a new relay so no...

Got one of these about 3 years ago, they are very good !

That is lovely, it looks very well looked after ! Looking forward to some more pictures

Post up some pictures if you can would like to see the car !

Pretty good bit of information there. I didn't realise tyres had a date on them !

Havent updated this for a while ! Ive still got it, and still tinkering with it ! Spec has changed a bit these days, C20LET, regal steel 1.9mm head gasket Hybrid K16 turbo EDS Phase 3 Front mounted intercooler with hard pipes Regal top hat Custom made Turbo back 3" stainless exhaust system with...

I'm not so sure I've ever seen one !

It's all about the finishing touches ! That's really nice that bet it's a real time warp to drive. Any little rust patches like that need wire brushing/ scraping back to good steel and treating with a rust converter, I use built hamber hydrate 80 (very good stuff) and then coating with a top coat to...

That's lovely, not many left in that condition/milage !

Looking good ads, plenty of gauges to look at in there ! (turbodazz by the way !)

Hi all, as above I'm in the process of getting the car back on the road after a bit of a hibernation and am encountering poor starting issues. I can always get it to start but it takes quite a while cranking over, and it seems to flood/stall, (if that makes any sense) clear, carry on cranking and th...

Some real weather extremes there ! we get the slightest flurry over here and the whole country comes to a stand-still !
NIce car too better than my first car that's for sure !

Just read through this thread again, lots of good work gone into a lovely car ! Looks like it's given you the run around on occasion, but then again don't they all !

That looks lovely, well worth some tlc. Cars kept in this condition will only appreciate in value, not as much as a ford but there we go !

How long is a piece of string ? Lots of dependant factors - how bad is the rust, is it limited to arches or will it need inners aswell ? (More than likely) and who you get to do it more importantly, if I remember correctly replacement arch repair panels were around 30-40 quid per side last time I bo...

Mint. I bet your well chuffed with that

Oh the joys ! Might need to drill the bugger out providing the snapped off easy out comes out. Just mark the drill bit off for depth in next hole along

Good work, ive just done all this to my turbo so I can sympathise ! Very satisfying bolting all the clean painted bits back together though. Keep it coming !

Dont they always need just a little bit more ! I stopped counting when what my turbo owed me went into 5 figures, ive had it years though.
Its all worth it though, theres much worse things in life to spend our money on !

Any recent pictures after this repair ? Im not on facebook so unable to see that last lot !

Hmm yea back-to-blacking the trim with anything you have to wipe or spray on invariably gets over glass and paintwork especially when doing door handles and the narrower rubber trims around windows.. Tyre foam is a must though it really sets a clean car off, I like the auto glym version - spray on a...

Welcome, looking forward to some pictures !
