hey guys, as much as i dont want to, i am putting my sri up for sale.
i have owned the car since 20/06/2010, when i brought it it was in quite a bad state, i spent couple of months doing it up slowly, and then give it a full respray ( except bonnet bay and inside the shell). it was a non runner when i got it, so minor mechanical works was needed to get her running. unfortunately it didnt come with any interior so it hasnt got the original sri seats etc.
MOT - 21/07/13
NO TAX
76,068 miles on clock ( only done 14,122 miles in the last 7 years - mot's to prove)
2005 - 61946
2006 - 64788
2007 - 65921
2008 - 67856
2009 - no mot or certificate, maybe off the road??
2010 - 68647 (first mot with me)
2011 - didnt put it on the road
2012 - 74214
work that i have done since owning it:
-2x new rear outer arches, cut rusty lip off inners and welded to outers which i have trimmed return edge down and bent up so no 90 degree angle.
-refabricated inner front wheel arch splash gaurds.
-refabricated f/o/s valance lip for wing to bolt to.
-patches on sill (in hindsight wish i had replaced the sills completly)
-1x patch on rear spring seat
-1x patch on o/s chassis rail
-1x patch behind fuel filler neck
-patches behind rear shock (in the dipped part)
-resprayed in nov 2010
-put in interior - not sri, flair or similar
Standard Engine :
it has had a top end rebuild (after trying to fit a race cam and bent alot of valves, oops)
obvious parts used:
-new head gasket
-new head bolts
-new valves ( except 2 or 3)
-tappets stripped, cleaned, new oil and rebuilt
-new timing belt
-new water pump
-new rocker cover gasket
Moddifications :
-lowered on springs only on front, and springs and kyb shocks on back
-k&n cone filter
-decat pipe
-peco back box
I am not going to tell you "its mint mate, you'll have trouble finding a better one" because its not, there are a few bits of rust coming out on it and a few dents and scrapes, but its clean for a nova as far as im concerned.
the usual areas that go on these are ok but might need some attension in due course, the battery tray is showing signs of surface rust, the rear towing eye area is ok, the inside the boot/ top of chassis legs are good. top struts are good.
there are few bad points with the car :
-rear seats dont have the catches to lock them in the upright position
-some rust coming through
-engine sometimes misses but will then clear and also sometimes doesn't start first time
-there are no sri stickers or half vinals on it as i prefered the look as it is.
-the paint work has never been flat and polished after i sprayed it and there are two little runs on the o/s rear quarter.
- few other little bits but nothing major.
there are pics of when i first had it and build pics on my facebook ( glen langridge ).
here are a few pics of her as she sits now,
