Fifth and final recommendation for a Dave Vizard book, read the Pinto one and decide to drop a real motor in..!

I spy a Ford Zephyr and a VW wagon, I'll take the Chrysler Inperial, rest of it send to china..

Came across a interesting coupe last night, 90's Leopard coupe in two tone. rather tidy, V6 Turbo, nice lines even.

Deregistered sadly and sitting outdoors, only saw it in the dark but quite taken with it. Despite sloshbox.

I've been told it's gotta go, make an offer before the wreckers come for it.

Before I get all stupid I thought i'd ask, anyone know what a good one is worth? Are they desireable? If I was to put it through compliance and use it for a bit will I come out even or profit? Or is another folly best avoided and let it rot..

Looks like this.

Flathead still in or nah, I'd say fair for a rolling shell and it looks in great nick

haha, may allow Crowns on a provisional basis. No Stanceworks/flappers/1uz's style.

There is a certain triumph GT-6 that's just begging for you to come back and finish..

Also no jap sedans allowed in workshop sorry.

Currently in the market for a new Mechanic here at my workshop in Newtown,

I specialise in British cars, European and Vintage cars and bikes. I need someone confident with a Whitworth spanner and experience with european vehicles and not going to groan when a Range Rover or Alfa pulls up.

Hours and pay rates negotiable, interesting variety of vehicles and a warm well lit central workshop make it a sweet place to be.

Licence, own tools and transport go without saying..

Willing to consider any level of skills, enthusiasm counts a lot in this job.

Contractor work available, at a higher rate.

Even if you know someone suitable or interested let me know- it's getting hella busy here at the moment..

Cheers,

James

The ghost of Alfa Romeo owners past are ripping them off as you drive, you shall never defeat them. Just give in and fit a set of pirelli P6's

headrests back please, remove dumb red stripe from bumpers- and it's far too shiny. I recommend hitting it with 1000 grit, followed by a few litres of battleship grey.

Go

hehe BJ.......

another place to try for a quote is the asian guys in Wigan street, by Havana. Never used them but my dodgy warrant guy next door swears by them, cheapest hiace type vehicle rust repairs and dent pulling in town

Please, please sell me the Sportique, is the other a VBB? I need a new frame for my 177 Polini wheelie motor.

this guy, Damian Trybula. has heaps of Volvo wagons and stuff like Super Snipes and BMC stuff, despite this he isn't a weirdo but a GC and in the trade.

Make contact and he'll send you the good shit.

SOOOOOO MUUUUUCH EXCITE, I WANT THAT PORSCHE

there has to be a reason it's parked outside, mechanical failures will far exceed the cars value. Either way, what a project!

Even keen to know about the Crown, sucker for punishment/had a few they were awful/adictively chintz

I have nothing to add except cool bike and Phillips made mopeds also, definitely german.

double dare you to try get it off the clock..

any Triumph big saloon..

a yellow kombi up their alley??

Horopito motors had three Sierra 4x4's up there for sale last time I was there, two are quite saveable, but one is just the kind of car you looking for.

About half of the items in that engine bay should meet the scrap bin, otherwise sweet machine! Love the upholstery..

Giz Jaguar please

Just gunna put it out there..

Would be different at least

Just had a look, Fully spec'd Amarok double cab 4motion is cheaper/the same price as a Ranger doublecab 4wd, more options too.

Interested to hear peoples experience with the ranger, looks good. Is there still a waiting list for new ones?

Also, quite enjoyed the Holden Colorado a friend lent me a while back, don't know much about it apart from it drove a million times better than the old rodeo..

you can close this thread now, there is only ever one choice.

It may be a time travelling datsun ute...

it doesn't need any of them, the headlight goes, the engine goes the brakes work.

Beleave it or not I turned down an offer of $2000 in the weekend.

Good, it's worth more than that. Regardless of colour, the most important thing is it's all there! If I was you I would be looking for offers around $3.5k

Please get the workshop manual, the steering column is a bit fiddly but if you chop it you may as well throw the bikes in the bin.

Cotter pins are fiddly, but once you get the technique down they are easy. new ones are available and a great system if it hasn't been bashed about.
