sounds a lil bit familiar only a tiny bit

 

[karlj]

In my head I'm going to build her up as a track car, like I've always planned...... In reality.... No idea lol

 

[karlj]

It would have to get aquatinted with earth and it would need a bit more poke (couldn't go back to driving a 1.0)

[r-reg-sr]

[r-reg-sr]

any how that bronzic k11 would smash the scene up with the right rims only.

 

[karlj]

Right now things can finally get moving..... I have a garage 2 minute walk away

 

[karlj]

 

[Squizza]

Garage sorted?!?!?

 

[karlj]

Sorted Friday, dragged her sorry ass there yesterday evening

 

[SirChris]

What you got to do to her mate?

 

[SirChris]

Nice little lock up there tbh as well. What you gunna do push right to the back and get her up high on axle stands?

 

[karlj]

What you got to do to her mate?

Still need to sort the seal so going to do that at some point

Exactly that ish (need the space at the back for storage)

 

[johnbr6]

I really want a bronze one

Hope things sort out with Charlie mate

 

[karlj]

Looks like it's bust, since putting her in the garage I've not been there to do anything so if I can be bothered in the near future I'm going to be stripping all the important parts and selling up, cars not getting broken though as its too good for that

[karlj]

No link, I've not got anything for sale.

When I get round to it only the car will be for sale I'll be transferring a lot of the parts to my sisters car if she wants them

 

[SirChris]

[karlj]

Don't know yet still need to put it back together and fix the seal, which probably won't be until after new year

 

[karlj]

Not really an update for the car but finally done this

Still not sure if I like them

 

[pollyp]

[karlj]

[pollyp]

[karlj]

[karlj]

Got round to removing the exhaust system, what a mission that was after 2 years of use it had semi welded itself sealed.

Gave me a chance to really look at how bad the oil had leaked and its everywhere. Seriously not sure what to do

 

[natemicra!]

They were serviced before they were put on, pins were greased with copper grease, pistons were removed cleaned and new seals put on

Everything was as it should have been

Any pics of the engine bay

 

[karlj]

No never saw the point

 

[karlj]

Well after a lot of umming, ahhing and doing everyone's head in I've finally decided this is the end. Charlie isn't going to be finished, fixed or anything, I'm going to break her and scrap whatever's left.

I'd like to thank everyone that's shown an interest and helped me over the years (all 4 of them) its been fun and educational lol.

 

[r-reg-sr]
