hi anyone know how my old series one is getting on? c820 lvk
also anyone know of any nice series 1s for sale at the mo?
got cash waiting and i live in kent

 

if you looked here at the top of this section:
https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...-database.html

you would have tracked the pic down and can pm RS_Shawn incase he knows anything more of it.

 

Nice S1's are a bit of a rarity these days, as I bet you already know - so be prepared to spend some money if you want anything half decent.

 

yeah i noticed some can be a bit pricey,although i dont mind paying out for a nice example, had a result when i bought mine although that was about six year ago, regretted selling it ever since, see one parked up a few weeks ago now its my mission to find myself another one, anyone know of any worth checking out ??

 

Hi would anybody have any history on c820 LVK

 

I owned c820 lvk for roughly six months, it was a complete headache the whole time I owned it!! I replaced starter motor, rear main seal (twice) gearbox and two clutches! I regretted selling it though, do you own it now?

 

get yourself onto seriesoneturbo.co.uk

 

When i went to look at it (and bought it on ebay) upon turning up to collect it the car was rotten as fuck, this was about 4/5 years ago. The respray was terrible, sills were shot, it wanted cutting up and weighing in tbh! Bloke agreed it was fucked and refunded me.

You buying it then? lol

Yes I've had it a short while just started to strip it a few weeks ago with the intention of having it resprayed. The body work seems really good only 3 small areas that need welding besides that its mint. I noticed the starter motor was new when I removed the lights, unfortunately the rad is missing seems at some point it housed a huge radiator. Did you have much history with it. Ive checked with VOSA apparently it failed its last MOT mentioning loads of rust however theres nothing on it. I assume It was all done at a later date. I have receipts confirming it had a full respray. Did you replace it with a new gearbox. I have pictures which I can send, the seats have slight wear but dash is near mint

 

I never took it home, me and two other ford enthusiasts ripped it to pieces and found so much wrong with it! If you take the interior and carper out you will see how fuck it is unless it was repaired properly, which I doubt.

 

The body work seems fine & to be honest it hasn't had much welding on it, where did you go for the car?? There's only 3 small patches that could do with a weld the body works fine. It had a few off road bikes dragged over it which has caused damage to the roof & bonnet

 

The lad I've bought it off has had the car since 2007 he bought it from Kent if I remember rightly. The car at the moment is a bare shell I can send you pictures to show what welding it needs. My only confusion is the MOT states the same as what you say however I was rather surprised with its condition considering what I paid for it.

 

Car was in essex at the time, you've not really listened to me tho. Have you taken the carpet etc out to look at the floor from the inside?

 

Just seen your other post there. Would be interesting to see pictures, maybe it was fixed up correctly after all. However, 2007 sounds right, i went to see it in november 2007 i think it was

 

I've removed all the interior seats carpet dash do you have an email address

 

Post pictures up here for eveyone to see! Use photobucket.com or something

 

I'll try to upload some pictures

 

I sold the car around ten years ago to a guy from Canterbury , he worked with a friend of mine who said the guy had spent mega money on it having it restored! It was a very good shell when I sold it, just had rust on the bottom of the doors and a small bit on the rear valance. I'd lost my patience (and budget) with replacing boxes and clutches and always having a pool of oil outside my house. I spent most of my time on a recovery truck! As I said though the body was solid, it also had a mint dash unfortunately it had tweeters screwed into it though, it like to see some pics of it if you have it?

 

Here's a picture from when I owned the car.

 

It went down hill massively after you had it bigbear! Dash was cracked to fuck too! Lol

 

Here's a few more. It's a shame she's gone down hill, if I'd kept it for another month I'd still have it now as I started a different job and would have been able to rebuild her engine etc.

 

Looks the business, I'm having difficulty adding the pictures I've used both my iPad & iPhone. Any suggestions on how it can be done, I'm having the engine rebuilt at the moment trying to find a decent body shop who won't charge the universe & do a good job

 

Open up a photobucket account and put your pictures on to there and then you click on image link copy and paste it on to here and that will bring the picture up mate and I am restoring a series 1 now there a night mare lol

 

I've tried everything these apple gadgets are absolute sh*t im going to try & use the Motorola tablet fingers crossed. Did you get the car respray end as I have a receipt confirming a full respray

 

On the iPad/iPhone mate you just download the photobucket app, log in, upload pictures from your iPad/iPhone then click on which image you want to upload to here then copy and paste the IMG code onto here.

Here are some pictures of the car, thanks for explaining how to upload them

What were the alloy wheels that you had on the car

 

if you can't see where the floor has been repaired it won't be the original shell!

 

The chasis number hasn't been tampered with there is a small weld on driver side footwell besides that nothing. I'm going to top the car on its sides maybe ill find more clues.

 

Have you had a look at the pictures Ive put up

 

Have you taken the body kit off? Any welding done near the vin plate

 

What's the sunroof like, any rust

 

Looks fucked! Lol

 

No rust around the sunroof nothing around the gutters even the valance is ok tyre well ok. The 3 weld spots I've put up look worse than they are, I've seen much worse there's one on eBay for Ł2k with a few days remaining & its a complete mess.

 

Not removed the body kit yet as was undecided wether or not to patch it all up or go all out & give a complete overhaul. VIN hasn't been tampered with

 

Now take the head lining off and say there's no rust

 

Lol you need to fix the rust which WILL be under the kit

 

Now that I've decided I'm going to go all out ill be removing the head lining/body kit fingers crossed.

 

Best way
