WOW Top Offer from Brom!!!!! What exactly is needed?? and before any you gimps gets wise,do she need a new engine or parts???
Oh and andyescos, you are wrong, one of our own here (won't say names, but has no eyesbrows)..hadhis car catch fire and loads offered to help! and I bet he's uglier than you!

 

If the head is not fully screwed, I'll offer to have it refaced for you, all you have to do is get it to Wokingham or the BUll at Arbourfield on PF night.

 

Just readin the thread but cant find what has happened to marias car?Did it blow up?how bad is it?

 

top fookin offer Brom!

I know some1 who has a spare crank & rods & block thinkin about it! just need pistons which marco's m8 has!

 

Its a fookin long drive but il set it up and check the the fuelling etc once its run in for ya.. theres my contribution

 

This just gets better and better.

Looks like Clive's heart op is getting more and more like Kirsty's appeal

Lets get Beckam to donate some cash to maria................ I can set up a call centre

 

maria has gotta see this

 

did maria suffer from the pin19 problem ??

or what happened to the engine ???

 

as has been said, would love to help someone out, but where do you draw the line?

i had to have a complete set of new valves, new head gasket, head skim etc recently. i've got to change my block sometime cos it's got a crack in it. nobody is helping me out.

when you buy these cars, it's in for a penny, in for a pound.

sorry maria, nothing against you. hope you get it sorted soon. and well done to those who are charitable / wealthy enough to help you out the community spirit on here is a wonderful thing

 

Set up a paypal account Maria

 

I am keeping an eye on this thread and Maria is fully up to date, she is unfortunately at work and cannot see it herself, but i am updating her regularly, she has asked me to pass on her thanks for all your kindness and will be in touch later

Debs

 

thanks debs!

 

are you serious?
(oh and ive managed to hi jack a pooter at work! lol )

in all honesty, is this really true? is this really happening to me?? When Paul from north yorks rang me and told me what you guys had been offering, i burst into tears!!!!

thankyou so so so much! i really dont know what to say apart from thank you from the bottom of my heart, you guys are tops! ( oh and im still crying! )

 

I would like to pay for a complete GROUP A gasket set , so Brom i will be intouch
as it looks like you will be building this engine so i will sort the gaskets out to suit you mate
cheers Paul

 

Get that account set up, the cash will fly in, buy the bits needed and get the boys to fit it as offered. She'll be back on the road in no time atall

Its good to see people pulling together on here rather than the usual arguments

 

Paul top man!

 

What a bloke


Now, About this full recaro trim and 90 spec bumper and spoiler....................

 

Paul

 

The strange thing is we al love each other really
1000+daily visitors to any one place will never see eye to eye under any circumstance, so i think we do ok

 

Thankyou so much paul!

Thankyou so much everyone!!

i really cannot believe this is happening to me!

ive gotta go back and do some work, but ill try nd check again, what has been said!

again, thankyou so much!

 

I think we surely do mate

We stick togheter like a real bunch of friends, loads of people always giving advice and always there to help each other out.
This bbs definatly feels like home

I am glad i got to meet some of you @ TOTB

I do feel fooked cause i live not anywhere near as i would like to help people more

 

will get price on the rods block & crank @ lunch time!

will do me best for a good price!

Thing is though do u need em maria!? did sheady just say it needed a bottom end refresh!? in which case am sure the tuners on here could source bearings, rings, gaskets etc cheap enough & then brom can get to work!

 

Maria's a lucky lass for a change...thanks all!...this is the first time ive heard her any happier since it all went tits up

well done you guys

 

Well I hope things get sorted quickly and you get on the road asap.

Welldone guys.

Oh and Morning Posh bord!

 

You know what i meant!

 

Morning Sunny!.and you think i'm posh! ....wait til Maz hears that one!

 

I think we need to wait a bit until Brom has the engine out of the car & dismantled. Then Brom can give us a lowdown on whats needed for the rebuild........

At that stage we can all hunt round/call in favours/donate parts etc that are required........

Does that make sense?

 

will someone buy me a new diff?

 

I've got one Mike, it whines a bit but it's yours if ya pick it up. Just taking up room in me garage

 

P.S: This is for you Mike after an attempt to lower the tone of this fine post was foiled...

 

Doug
I think your right ,,,, as i dont think the engine will need that much , with a bit of luck it might only req new rings etc and putting back together with all new gaskets etc and she will be fine ,, lets keep our fingers crossed

 

*chuckle chuckle*

 

my diff whines more than Ima does... cheers for the offer tho DiscoD LOL

LOL Stu, me, trying to lower the tone? never! I was merely asking as everyone seems so charitable

 

its best if who ever knows whats gone wrong scc or who ever rings me at work and tell me exactly whats gone wrong
or pms me
on the building side i will not cut corners and it would have to be new pistons and rebore if needed am afraid i dont like fitting 2nd hand pistons do disrespect to marco
if am doing it i will do it right

 

I think mark @ mad has a good idea whats wrong wiht it along with rob!

I would assume rods crank etc would b ok to use again brom!? how much r a new set of pistons then!?

 

Brom

My guess is that it will only require a rebore and a set of pistons at worst case,
If its all apart it would be a good idea to chuck in a new set of bearings too, it had a new oil pump when the sump was off (Over Ł200 )

Rob

 

Tried to ring ya Brom, No Answer

 

My advice Maria - would get a couple of different people to look at it. Guage what the responses are, see what you decide from there chook

 

if sum1 pms me the finis number for an oil pump, i may have a new 1 which u can have for nowt

 

thankya again peeps!!

i shall have a ntter with brom, and see where we take it from here!

Thankyou all gain sooooooooooo much!!!



( and sunny - do you REALLY think debbie is posh??? God thats soooooooooo funny! lol )
