i'll do a little my 3dr story once its running

 

2 cossies thats just greedy. nice motor i think i seen that 3dr somewhere.
where abouts are you in hampshire.

 

nice

 

im near portsmouth. yer i started the engine today coudlnt run it too long as i havent finished building my heatshield.

Runs a little noisy tapping, but lifters need to pressurise still.
Nearly there now though,, then its saving up for a respray. and rebuilding the front rs500splitter as its mashed. Id like to get some cxn's but think I need to play bingo or the lottery .

Heres a few pictures

This was my mates old 3 door might have some pics somewhere when he had it .very nice car he had all the engine bay redone etc

 

Looking good fela

 

thats a rare rover cover to see down you way mate

 

So many people from my area have mixed views on the cover. I confess I was going to change it to a standard blue, but actually changed my mind and now Its staying as is I like it. Started the engine again today and the tappets are now spot on,,
Just need to put my kit back on, get it through mot and tax it,,, then run it in and hope all is good for the summer..

 

Are you scottish? If not i'm surprised it's there!

If i got a cossie with a st george's flag on it i'd have swapped it before i left the old owners house

 

lol no im Half irish :P

 

very nice looks proper clean any plans for it?

 

It was running about 320 bhp with the t3, and was setup by msd, It didnt need any more power it was very driveable. I rebuilt and upgraded the t3, fitted a 360 bearing so it should hold the 23 psi spike now

I do miss the t34 pull in the saph, but nope no plans just that I wanna drive it for the summer and then save for a respray.

 

Was that ron walkers old 3dr ?

 

duno but it was kennys old one

 

Very nice fella
