I wanted that car so bad but its location was making it too expensive for me to come get. Love it mate!

[Max M4X WW]

[Dave G fsi]

yes mate I sold my RS2K 4X4 to a RS car collector up north and I fancied a bit of fun hence buying this, so I have started to get to work finishing off this frst as the exterior was done as was the internal engine bits but the engine bay as well as some other small issues need sorting to make this a into a very good car

Looks nice, is the plate yours?

it is my plate just not registered to this car as was purely for photos,

[FRSJON]

im liking that

[robp-tt]

I like that, was tempted to buy it when nick had it for sale

[gavrs1800]

Awesome I would of had this if I could have shifted my focus st quick enough

[1-PD]

this car had a long list of gremlins and things to do, so far I have colour coded mirrors and door handles and just fitted them, and also fitted a focus antenna and fixed the alarm, then sorted out some wiring and fitted the under bonnet vent covers from auto specialists , and tonight im picking up some more urgent bits from the Middlesex meet ,

the only thing Im now looking for is a Drivers door card

[Dave G fsi]

Good progress mate

[Dave5300]

looks great mate, happy driving

[1-PD]

been cleaning up the engine bay the last day or two getting rid of all the grime, took the OE ford breather off today and it was solid with mayo, so fitted the bailey one on and had a play with a Dv I was given by a mate from Surrey Group, just need to sort my idle out as its high do a oil change and fit my vibra technic gearbox mounts once it warms up a tad

[Dave G fsi]

Looking good

[JPXR2I:16v]

Join the club

At least you are managing to sell some atm

[1-PD]

well tiny update, when I test drove the car I noticed within seconds loud heavy clonking between the gears which felt like a mount, told the owner who told me he did not notice it, so I bought some vibra technics ones and as it was dry but ruddy cold yesterday I set about changing them, just started to drop the gearbox cradle when look what fell out





did not notice it he said , my ass I say

[Dave G fsi]

That looks slightly fooked!

[1-PD]

That looks slightly fooked!

your not wrong, took it for a good hard test drive earlier well 15 minutes ago and the mounts have done the trick, also had a play with the interior lighting etc and the lockwood dials and boost gauge look the part at night now too

[Dave G fsi]

Glad the problem is sorted, and the interior lightling is looking really good

[1-PD]

most people that know me know I buy cars to drive and not sit a garage looking pretty so took this a little time ago while out driving

[RS EDDIE]

Beware mate!!!!





Hahaha!!!

[1-PD]

I used to driving cars in bad weather, that one you posted was proper stuck

[RS EDDIE]

Yea was mate, i only went out to get a few winter pics, a few years ago.

Tried to go into a field to get a few and after a few mins I had my own rolling road session!!!

Propper bogged in!!!!

[Harris]

Nice to see the old girl is being looked after

[1-PD]

Nice to see the old girl is being looked after

spent best part of £400 on it so far and it still needs cam and lifters doing due to poor maintainance

[rsturbonutter]

How can you say poor maintenance

[Harris]

I can assure you that while I had that car the maintenance was spot on. It still had the original cam in it when I had it and never had any issues. I sold it 2 years ago so can't comment on what went on afterwards. That car never burnt a drop of oil or used a drop of water in my ownership. It was serviced every 3k or 6 months so I was a bit shocked when I saw it had a head overhaul, although its common knowledge that cvh cams are notorious for wearing lobes. Id say that for a standard cam with no history of ever being changed and lasting 21 years is bloody good. Can't see poor maintenance being the cause of that. Although as I said I can't comment on the last 2 years.

At least its now with someone that will continue with its upkeep.

I know you looked after it as I even found a thread with you getting stuck in to it, in its recent past lets say the oil was proper filthy and fouled/black with blocked and broken breather which was solid thick with mayo, had the wrong plugs fitted in it and as you know its important to keep the oil fresh and filters clear which is no doubt what has ruined the cam and followers, gearbox mount totally snapped central locking broke as well as 2 foglights and a rear window wiper toggle switch was a surprise, the body is fine as is the suspension and brakes but I would say whoever had it in the recent past did sod all to it other than drive it and neglect its mechanical maintainance, so £400 in parts later all thats left to do now is a cam and followers and have it set up properly which will no doubt be another £400 so this car will stand in £3500 and be the car I had hoped for, rather than a car full of bugs which the previous owner nick told me NOTHING of which was nice of him = NOT ,

How can you say poor maintenance

never judge a book by its cover


Note, car is now sold to a good mate and he is on here too as Ford-Stu

[gavrs1800]

Love this car. Wish I was quicker to buy it
