Had this garage for the last 15yrs and about 6yrs ago i took all my tools / Welder ect home with the intention of giving it up and selling off what i could.

NEVER DONE IT and while in conversation with the owner a couple of weeks ago he tells me that he is selling up so would like it cleared if i get a chance.

Went down last weekend and bust the locks open and all i can say is £uck me, what a mess

Roofs been leaking, Pig shed next door been flooding and theres about a ton of £uckin spiders webs over everything.

Heres what greeted me


A couple of S2 Turbo blocks / head / 4x4 cossie Clutch and an RS1600i Piper cam



A box with more turbo bits



Std 4x4 cossie Exhaust / Turbo Cly head / metering unit ECT ECT and under that pile there was also a complete turbo / Manifold



A trolly load of Gearboxes and X-Flow Engines 1.6 & 1.3



1600i Cyl head with the solid lifters



Facelift Cossie alloy and an 8x17 Hock R



Complete XR3i engine, this was out a low mileage car but that was 15 yrs ago LOL



And loads of MK1 XR2 Cyl heads and stuff



Most of this has gone to scrap as a guy from work came round and paid the pricely sum of a pint for it all plus a hell of alot more.

Hopefully he will get some spares out of it as he's just bought himself a S1 Turbo so alot of the head stuff should be ok.

 

Proper old skool nostaglia there mate! Should have refurbed the lot!

 

hehe,

 

what.................... i want it all.... some people need to go to their space more often

 

16i head was worth a bob or two

 

jeezo, how could you forget about that lot? seriously! lol hockenheim is worth a bit is it not?

 

LOL, never really forgot about it just never went back

You should see the stuff i have stored at home

 

most of that stuff is better than the shit you see for sale at the jumble sections of RSOC ND and Ford Fair

 

i can just imagine the smell in there
not the pig poo tho

proper old school smell

 

So it wasn't full of cars worth millions then
I love routing through old stuff. Even more if it's your old stuff that you hadn't looked through for ages. Like when you get summoned to yuor parents house to sort out your old bedroom and spend 3 hours looking through something cool you've gfound instead of sorting it

More importantly tho
ANY PICS !!!!

Dont have any pics of his S1 but i know its a D plate and i also know that he has just cleaned one of the heads up in the washer at work and it came up like new

The dust seems to have protected it against any dampness

Nice to know that some of it at least will live on

 

Can you get the info please.

 

i'll buy the hock!!!

 

rs shawn

He is registered on here as Kev new

Fire him a PM as im sure he will give you all the details you could want He has been posting alot in Smitsturbo's S1 resto thread

bud-weis

LOL, had quite a few PM's about that alloy when i think of how many i had lying around 10 yrs ago

 

We've already spoken before then in that case.
Cheers for the info.
