Right the 500 is booked in for sept for ground-up rebuild. Was toying with the idea of selling it as is !! Did have an offer of £20k but was way to low for a moonstone, but in the next breath it made my mind up to go for the rebuild and put her back to original looks rims,engine bay etc







I still have the original wheels in a1 condition but there are a few things i need to locate !
The dash has a few cracks but i have found a mint one just gotta wait for the guy to break his 3dr
Most of the bits i require are under the engine bay, hoses, airbox, stickers, header tank, h/shield etc.
Also the re-surc pipe and before we have the comments of B&Q racing copper pipe lol i do have a nice polished one for it now just gotta work the bend out so it can be fitted when its rebuilt
I know these bits are gonna be hard to find but not impossible ! So if any of you have the bits i might need let me know cash is waiting



quick run down of the car
Full engine rebuild by reyland (martin) inc all ports enlarged when the head was fully rebuilt.
Mapped by reyland 525bhp
hydraulic clutch conversion with ap paddle clutch (much easier to drive)
gearbox and diff supplied and fitted by bernie at CTS (original caseings on both used)
brakes brembos on the front 4x4 vented on rear
fully polybushed
coilovers
mongoose exhaust heat wrapped (helps with the huge flames out the back)
interior still as i got it
SECS monitor and pillar mounted boost gauge











Also if anyone knows or has any info on this cars tuning, owners etc again please let me know

thanks Pop's

 

old thread has been removed but there was some good info that i should have made a note of can we get things put up thanks

 

Who come old thread was removed.Lovely car.

 

The only issue you will have is the stantard wheels an 500+ as standard brakes aren't gonna be up to the job

 

is it getting a bare shell strip down,then built up again.

 

Good Luck Pop's , the pic on my database is the car in standard guise , best look for any 500 imo .

 

sure is just hope there's nothing too scarey lol

 

when saw that pic i knew i wanted the car to look that way again!! and it will

 

will be fitting uprated disc's and pads maybe tarox 40 grooved and matched pads front and rear

 

Very nice , always had a soft spot for moonstone 500's

 

very nice.

good luck in finding the parts though.

 

to be fair you can put discs and pads made of criptonite

500 plus poneys will make very short hard work for them

thought about standard looks with some sexy centre locks so you can retain the big brakes

saftey and all that

 

Kryptonite affects people like me, so can't fit them! lol who needs breaks anyway . . .
"Brakes are for GAYS"!!!!!

 

took the 500 out yesterday give it a good clear out ! god it felt good even better when i waved bye bye to a porsche !! wonder what the driver of the porsche was thinkin when a 25 year old sierra showed him the way lol gutted i think lol
goes in for MOT tomorrow fingers crossed, last one before rebuild

 

got pics of this car from 5-6 years ago when i saw it down cornwall....see it regular up a38 etc

 

How's the project going mate?
