thought i'd post up my project i'm doing see what people think,
well i brought the car the start of feb and thought id had the deal of a life time was taken out for a spin in it by the chap who was buying it off, ran like a dream, didnt miss a beat.
anyway got it home found a few things that needed doing to it but nothing major.
then a week after was cruising down the motorway at 90 and heard an massive bang and smoke pouring out the exhaust got recovered home striped the engine down
and discovered that i blown a nice hole in the side of a piston, then discovered the chap who i brought it off had used 3 different pistons in the block for some reason.
so sourced another bottom end off a chap in tamworth, took a few weeks rebuild it due to the weather, blowning a CV joint and snapping the clutch cable
when got it back on the road did the running in stage and was running sweet again but then discovered the bloke had done a home rebuild on the turbo and the bearings blew on the turbo
so now ive decided cut my loses and do a full rebuild from chassis up and get the car how i want it and know everything has been done to how i would like.
well here few pics i shall keep you up dated as the project continues
