Belter of a road on an evening when you can see what's coming (headlights) The short stretch over Baildon moor past the golf course through the S bends is a fun section too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 EBay is your friend on that one Dan, they're at the age were they aren't worth repairing after buying damaged so scrap yards will probably take a sencible offer. There's one in Essex for £1790 - 262504687821 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 In the same token I'm looking for a complete Ep3 Type R. Can be a write off so long as the engine is good and the money is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I paid £1300 for my del sol, drove it for 2-3 years, broke it, made back about £8-900 selling stuff on ebay and i still have the engine sat in my garage. So if you do get a crashed car you'd likely make a bunch back on the other parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 It's been a while since I have had time to do anything to my Porsche, I decided today I should crack on with sorting the sills as the stone chip was peeling, faded and some rust was appearing on the lip underneath where it has been bent from people using the wrong jacking point. I've not gone to too much effort with stripping it back, a quick wire wheel, sanding and rust treatment is all that's needed as I will be using stone chip again then body coloured paint on top, this should make the sides of the car look a little deeper and the car should look lower too as the body appears to be closer to the floor (that's how it looks to me when I have seen others do it). I wanted to avoid going back to the metal where possible as this can mean the galvanised surface is removed, obviously where there was surface rust I had no choice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Turns out my valves weren't bent, but there are 3 different marks on the cam pulley, and some sadist had decided to tipex mark the wrong one... I now have a fresh head gasket at least 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 That happened to me, fortunately my engine is non interference but it did stump me for bloody ages! And my flywheel was put on in the wrong position so ignition timing was a total nightmare, it's all sorted now after the clutch had to be swapped.

CurtisRider Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Eurgh, I didn't realise that rattle can stone chip had a smooth finish, I've tried speckling the paint out by only depressing the button a little way which has kind of worked. I don't have a compressor here so I'll just whack a few coats of alpine white on and call it a day until I'm back on the farm. The whole car needs a respray anyway so at least for now it looks tidier and the rust is at bay! Had so many weird looks from neighbours, they don't understand why i'm wrapping my car in gift paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I shoved on a tin of Alpine white and it doesn't look amazing but a massive improvement over what was there before! I'll get proper side on photos once I can clean the car. I'm going to paint the lip part black once this has hardened and then it can stay like this until next summer when I should be in a position to paint the whole thing I'm thinking stay with white on top but the lower half will be prosthetic limb beige. I haven't done much prep on the wings as they both need welding so the paint in that area will be stripped off again soon anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
