Default Time for another engine



Think i just want to copy Dave Cos 4x4

Just got the car back from the painters & the bottom end is knocking its plums off. Its only done 7k. I new the head was fooked, as i was going to put another head on it, but its now a double wammy tonight

At least the car looks mint on its fresh paint

Oh well watch this space for a mint cossie, fresh paint & new engine for sale.

So it is the engine.


Gutted for you.

Waste of time selling it when its done though,be like a new car when the engine is fixed and it will be a lot easier to do than mine!!

Oh, and cheaper.

If you need a hand.

Rob do a god job then.

Fook me did he do a good job

Rear arch cut away, and sorted, both sides had a full paint, front bumper, just got to take the front end off to get the bits painted, grill & morettes etc. Oh and a full buff & polish. It looks like brand new. & last but not least the engine bay had a lick of paint (cough bufty )

I only bought the car to sell...so its time to sell & let someone have a bargain when its done. But dont worry i aint breaking it.

Roll on the house & the house & diesel

Anyway cossies wouldn`t be anywhere near as much fun if you didn`t have to live under the bonnet....

My 406 diesel is piss boringly reliable......sometimes i lift the bonnet and stand lookin at it hopin something will fook up so i can get the spanners out...

Don`t think ill have the same thing with my cossie though...
