Cant wait, really excited, just talked to the current owner and made the arrangements to go and pick her up. Going to be a bit of a pain but hopefully have enough guys to help get it out and onto the trailer. Wait until you see the pics of it now!

to be honest mate the pics are pretty good, its alot worse when you get up close. No matter, will get it home and start stripping, get some sleep, you kidding! no chance mate, high as a kite, feel like a wee kid before xmas

 

quality! lmao

i would buddy but by the sounds of it, theres a good chance i am going to need to buy a new block for it! when i snapped the chain it fkd the water pump, sprocket cover and clutch push rod. problem is they think that the bolt holes for teh water pump have been damaged too much.....

 

I cant believe you can be arsed fixing that.

Rose tinted spec mate?

 

I know mate, its going to be a right pain in the arse but most of its getting cut off anyway for the conversion so what the hell!

 

Well cutch just left my house massive smile on his face would think santa had just been lol

lots of pics gutted i never got onto getting it done but in good hands again and ill hopefully see it at the end of the year

 

My thoughts too chopper.

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice project good luck with it.............memories are the best arn't they!

 

Good luck with that fella.It looks like it needs a lot of tlc.

 

I could never be pissed messing about with that. I doubt I'd want any of my old cars back, let alone one that's fucked.

Best of luck and I hope you see it through.

 

if it can be salvaged , it will be !!


its only metal after all !"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Its not that bad with some time and cash thrown at it - jobs a good 'un, if I had the chance to get my old XR3i back which was in similar condition I'd sort it.

Looking forward to the progress mate, ignore the 'why not buy a minter to start with' shite

 

cant believe how its gone from looking amazing to a bare shell n probly back to amazing when your done with it...u shulda just kept it in the 1st place

good luck with the project mate....my new project is kinda similar to yours...

heres a sneek peek of my garage

 

Right its been a long day but heres the story.....

Gave the camera to the wee man so he could keep track! (6 yr old son)


Went to get the van, trailer and got called to come and collect the bike! Turned round and went and got my leathers....



Brought the bike home and had some fun on the way, trying not to blow it up again!!


Went and collected the van and trailer, guy at the van rental place took his fkn time and was a dick but we got there in the end.



Most of the stuff was ready in the car but still had to go and get the interior at calums house.


Had a look around before we pushed it out.



Pushed it out onto the street and onto the trailer.










Took the car back to calums house to pick up the seats, was very nervous about it bouncing about on the back of that old trailer!



My boy! Loved the tipper!


OUtside calums collecting the seats


Went for a munch cos we were starving.



Got it home



And tucked away.


and the bike!


Photographer was bored so went to play.....we joined in shortly after!


Wee man checked the seats out....




All in all a good day, well pleased, couldnt care less about the condition its in, its my first car and i have it back, its going to get fixed properly and i cant wait to get it onto the road, most likely to have a 400 bhp 4x4 cossy stuck into it since most of it needs to be cut apart anyway.... cant wait!

 

well done fella !!!


beef

 

nice one mate must be good getting some old memories back

 

should be a nice project mate with a good bit of history for ya too sod what people say about not being able to do it and its too far gone ive seen and fixed much worse myself like you say it is only metal afterall and whats a bit of welding thats how they were made anyway by welding bits of steel together lol!
ill be watching this one

 

You'll be glad its finally home then m8.

 

Totally over the moon, the wifes no too happy but i think she knows fine well that there wasnt going to be any other decision than bringing it home, its the car that i always wanted back and when i had it all those years ago i talked to someone down south, (think it was roger motorsport?) about putting the cossy in. Being 17-18 i didnt have the money to do it but now i might just be able to swing it....

was sitting in the seats last night making brum brum noises!!
