he really IS going to kill me for posting these so please enjoy lol

the courtenEy sport stickers are now gone to be fair but hes gotta rip the engine out and put it back in and it needs a new gearbox too lol

[Spudly]

Lmfao @ the misspelt courtenay sport stickers lol

Whats going on with the random black bit in one of the photos and not in the other?

[claire6069]

lol those pics are off old mateys ebay ad, every single photo was different lol

[Mike]

Different lol err very different lol

[claire6069]

lol told you all you would giggle pmsl

[Lewis.]

is that the one that RC from mig built? i'm sure it is, blue bonnet hinges and the way the induction pipe goes looks very similar

[claire6069]

yeah it is and i do hope it wasnt bodged together like it is now when he did it originally

[Spudly]

Anyone got a link to the build on mig, i are wanna nosey!

[claire6069]

lol i have a link to the one on mk3 and err, keep the thing that you'll read thats obvious quiet :thumb: cheers dude
!

[Lewis.]

ronnie did a good job originally. (bar the chopped springs lol) its a pretty good project, considering it was meant to be just a runcheap around.

claire: what do we have to keep quiet? :wtf: you've got me wondering now :roll: lol

[claire6069]

lol perhaps i should edit that bit out lol

[Spudly]

lol perhaps i should edit that bit out lol



Edit what bit out, the link has disappeared :p

[bmw156]

RC is cool, he lives close to me, although i have never visited lol.

he is always working on his car and his GSI is very nice!

[ste porter]

i wouldnt say a lump of angle iron welded to the subrame and bolted to the earth bolt on the side of the gear box is realy what you would call a suficiant engine mount would you? especialy when i coged it last nite it broke a chunk of the gear box and sat the engine on the subframe

hence why it needs a new gear box as the casing is nackered and i cant put a proper mount back on as all 3 holes are buggered and elongated out to the size of a 2 pence piece so i have got to get hold of another f20 casing

leccy windows are wired upto the head unit ignition live

cosa rear springs which realy cant deal with the weight any and all the wiring is shocking

all in all its a mess but give me a little time and i will get it sorted

[claire6069]

Edit what bit out, the link has disappeared :p

lol cheers Spud! enjoy your read?! hes a delight of an engineer isn't he?! lol

[Spudly]

Bloody hell two and a half hours it took me to read all of that, i did think that mount looked pikey as fook but im no fabby or welder so i have no basis to comment on that one though, had to lol at fitting a cav window reg and then wondering why it didnt go right down haha, still wouldnt mind coming for a spy round it, looks like its fell into poor hands after RC selling it though:cry:

[Lee]

I am so showing Mr Watts that awesome sticker lol

[Spudly]

I am so showing Mr Watts that awesome sticker lol


Lmfao, wouldve loved to have seen it about as that wouldve been ten times funnier lol

[ste porter]

sticker was the first thing to go
morrets are beeing stamped on asap
then new bumpers and binning the wheels

on top of that the engine will come out and be refitted properly aswell as completly rewiring it followed by puttig a tow bar back on and that will do

[Spudly]

Haha good skills Ste, i need to come for a nosey at this methinks, might see if i can get Rob interested in an inpromptu roadtrip before PV lol

I'm sure you'll get it into shape Ste. It's got potential & its only a hack afterall isnt it?

[ste porter]

hack.............well more of a tent for pvs than anything lol

but yeah its a work horse and tow vehical but at the min its more of a pull me chav wagon

[Spudly]

It always makes me laugh when you see cars with 'MOTORSPORT' written across the sunstrips, iirc the font used is Fords so theyre all advertising 'Ford Motorsport' hmmm lol

[craig green]

DONER VAN
