Wipe it over with Diesel, that'll sort the Red out.

Warm up the bumpers with a hair dryer.. works like back to black.

Nice find!

the engine was probably fine, it was the sh*troen battery that was the problem. thats not flame red tho, is it? looks this satin red. what spec its the 1.6 engine then? and what did happen to the derv project?

Ashthat battery s **** hot and it was free lol and the engine was running on two if that, it was fecked. and no its not flame red and i dont know the official name for it either. the 1.6 aint that special ive had done a few tweeks but nothing major. and the derv ive decided the shell must be twisted or something so stripping it and scrapping it :)

oh and i got this nova off freecycle, basically if someone has got something they dont want they put it on there for free :)

yes that selection of tools is basically what i used to remove and refit me engines lol

novashed - it wasn't me but my mate but close enough, unfortunetly it ended up in the scrap yard in the sky cos it wasn't worth sorting all the rot for my mate. tis a shame as it was a very nice colour
