Just gauging interest at the moment


2.1 Pinto running 45 dellortos, back to a type 9 5 speed gearbox as I killed the Quaife one. Rear axle has cost in excess of £1000 with a 4.44 ratio and a Trans X LSD.

Black Compomotive MO's, Austin Princess 4 Pots on the front, Sierra rear discs on the back. Interior is stripped out with 4 point harnesses and the standard fishnet seats retrimmed in black leather, Saftey Devices Roll cage, 3 litre Capri fuel tank mounted upright in the boot with a high pressure electric fuel pump.

Does about 110mph flat out, 0-60 in 6.2 seconds


Looking for around the 6k mark



As it currently stands

I ll get some more pics up as soon as possible.
Car is currently at my parents so the next time I go back, I ll sort some more pics out

 

 

Car is still dirty from the past weekend but you get the idea.
Im not too sure on the welding front, obviously it has had some and I ll get some pics next time its up on the ramp. I have lots of photos of when it was restored as well

 

My mrs said if i brought it home id have to move out!!!!!!

 

So whats been done to the rear end then.

 

Its had a Heavily braced rear axle fitted, its still on leaf springs but has a 4.44 ratio instead of the 3.54 one and a Trans X LSD. It has Quaife hubs and half shafts fitted along with the rear discs from a Sierra.

 

what needs to be done to ditch the leaf's?

 

This was going to be the next job on the car, I did start to look into it but off the top of my head am unsure.

 

very different from when i was goin to buy it

 

Indeed it is

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Pete dont do it

 

It has to go to fund the new car Rossco.


Granada has to go as well or the missus wont let me get the new one

 

has it been re shelled they did'nt do nordic blue on a P plate.

 

Its Riviera Blue, it was origionally red

 

apoliges m8

 

No probs, it was a question asked by someone when I bought it and I think the answewr was " There was loads of red ones and not many this colour".

I was origionally going to paint it black but the colour really grows on you and it gets attention where ever it goes to be honest

 

Shame

 

I sold this car to Pete jus over 18 months ago, the spec list was huge then, even then it had reciepts for nearly what he's asking for the car now, and I know he's spent a fair whack on it himself. The guy I got it off did a 5 year resto job on it himself, painted the bare shell on a spit etc. Superb car, was kicking myself a bit for selling it, but it was too new for me, prefer 60s stuff.

 

Oh yeah and I still have the pics of the resto job in the receipts folder

 

someones gonna be well happy, should be just right with that engine and diff, good luck with the sale.

Sorry mate, only just saw this. I had plans this weekend so couldnt make ND

 

Car is now on ebay

 

is it???

 

 

Dude only went for £3600 so the reserve wasn't met

Might be time to re-consider!!! pahaps start a new thread on here with fresh pics or fresh info or just the same just a fresh thread..

 

Was watching it on EBay... no offence but maybe the wrong price?

I am still interested if you can do anything on the price give me a PM when you're back off holiday.. I have bidded on a few and watched a few and to be honest on Ebay they tend to sell if the prices are right- but in no sense of the word are they ever Cheap.

As I say no offence Gooey.. pm me if you can do anything.

Jake

 

I was the high bidder on Ebay and bid 4k but reserve not met
Let me know what you can do with the price as am seriously interested

Reserve was £5000 whats everybody think its worth then???

 

Im back now, like Matt said, what do you think its worth

Nice one mate.....Lovely car..

Hope it went to a good home...
