Goldie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 There's another immaculate one for £8k on pistonheads with 40k miles on the clock, give it 5 years and I'm sure it'll be up around that price too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yeah that's something which is concerning me, I'm currently in the market to buy (a struggle as it is) however when I finally find and buy is it going to be that much of a nightmare when things go wrong/need replacing.

It getting very hard to find a clean un messed with example. I pain 900 for mine didn't realise how rough it actually was I brought it with bottom end knock for a project and every aspect of the car has been messed with bolts rounded off extra. Currently struggling finding some of the bolts and fixing clips as they are discontinued and you can't get the fuel and brake lines that run under the car you have to make them.

Goldie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I seen that, and it doesn't look to be in terrible shape either, colour scheme isn't my thing but that's just personal preference. I lucked out the other week on this one, somebody beat me to it. Do you have a build page? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
td04 turbo Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) That looks smart na I never started one the things in bits still. I've built a collection of parts over years and had stuff powder coated. Needed to get the rear axel and fuel tank back on and make some new lines for it. Once that's sorted I can focus on the engine bay. My 5e block is still in bits only half built. The bottom end has wosner pistons and pec rods but heads currently sat on the nackered 4e block with bottom end failure and needs taking off and refurbing. Cars been sat there now for about 6 years but I recently been trying to do bits to get the shell rolling again but it's not in the best location to do work on it. As it sits its just a stripped shell now on stands. Edited September 29, 2020 by td04 turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Becoming a issue isn't it it's working out cheaper for me to have something fabricated who would of thought bolts would be discounted, what type? Edited September 29, 2020 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
td04 turbo Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Yea certain parts are becoming a real issue I did manage to get new bearings for gearbox took a while though. Rear caliper bolts ect some are available others are not still waiting on my enquiries to be answered from negan and import duty is insane. I purchased a new filler neck for fuel tank wasn't a bad price then with import it worked out about 80 and its only a small part. May have to try and match some of the sizes if I can as I have a lot of bolts that have been rounded off. You can't even get original brake or fuel lines now have to fabricate your own. And most of the plastic clips ect you can't get unless you get original ones 3d printed. Edited September 29, 2020 by td04 turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Negun never got back to me, I nearly bought a non runner, are the NA brake lines the same ?

Plus not many scrap ep91 around this end. Edited September 29, 2020 by td04 turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
