Hi, got myself this 2 weeks ago and it was in need of a little TLC.....
First things first was full service as it has no history, then was missing badly!! So new coil packs sorted that issue, then it was running on 2 due to the timing slipping

so timing belt kit acquired only to find that the bottom cam pully had a chunk out of the inside!!!! Couldn't find a new one so a trip to the scrappy was had and it took me almost 3 hours to get one off as it was stuck, but they charged me £3 for it so that was a score. Running sweet now though and couldn't be happier, I will get a few more pics up tomorrow after a much needed clean!!

Looks good, especially in its native habitat (on ramps in a garage :P).
Seriously though, good looking motor and its really satisfying doing the work yourself. Im sure youll love it once the niggles are sorted.

cheers mate, its all sorted now and I do love it!! just waiting for a bit of good weather to get it clean and enjoy it!

Good job you know how to do all the work, sounded a bit of a pain to get the cam pulley off.

Still, got it for a good price, lucky they let you just take a bit off.

yeah the motor was blown in the scrap car anyway so didn't make any difference to them, just lucky for me I guess.

Glad it's sorted ...

Cossie in the background looks a bit sorry for itself .... Shame

It has a new shell just arrived and will be back on the track this season, may even put a few pics up when its done.

Good to see someone putting a bit of time and effort into these cars, with all the problems could easily have been scrapped or broken, and what is that parked next to the cossie? Hillman?

steven.winder · 07-02-12, 12:03 PM
