Agent75 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 POSITIVES nice straight apparently rust free body with original paint amazing chrome trim etc amazing condition seats and very good interior rebuilt gearbox electronic ignition engine bay looks good and clearly well looked after all the paperwork and documents NEGATIVES failed left rear hydrolastic displacer clutch seized - suspect hydraulics not clutch engine hasn’t started but turns over nicely - suspect old fuel/failed fuel pump may need a door hinge pin or two My biggest concern atm is sorting the hydrolastic but the rest is just a bit of pfaffing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I actually really like this. Something about the luxury wood trim on a tiny base design tickles my fancy... And another NEGATIVE is that it will be a punishing Barry-magnet... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am astounded by the condition and quality of the leather seats. Faultless. I’ve got them out for a clean up and need to get some fancy leather treatment on to them. The carpets are pretty decent too. I gave them a shampoo last week but have been a busy boy since. Will upload photos for people who appreciate the finer things in life 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo999 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 If it was Craig P that you got the grease gun pump off then it is actually my one that I lent him recently. Let me know when you are finished as I would like it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know when you are finished as I would like it back. I think I just learnt a valuable lesson about the wide reaching tentacles of the internet! You are right, it must be yours. I hope I haven’t got my man Craig in too much trouble - in his defence I was annoyingly persistent about borrowing the magical machine. You can be assured it is in good hands and will leave mine in the same condition I received it. I’ll make the suspension a priority so I can get it back to you.
