hey man thanks for the reply but its an old thread :D i fixed it quite a while ago 8) . a standard 32mm spanner did the job with the help of large flat edge screw driver locked in between the nuts to prevent spinning and a 1/4" drive socket with torx bit holder. i did it in about 1.5 hrs withou...

hi guys, anyone know if front strut return pipes are still available anywhere? or does anyone have one. was looking at the ole project car to chwck most is still in order and it appears one of mine is simply missing.

cheers rossco

hey man, if its just 2 pieces of pipe u need to join then a plastic push on pipe connector and cable ties would do the job. the return lines aren't high pressure. tbh what you have already done sounds just as good if not better.

vx??? bx? jumping at the back??? as in hard suspension???

good job matey! i like to see them being looked after, and especially being saved. i wish i had that much time to finnish my project off. keep up the good work

ah ok, thats not too far from london. we will be driving down to london from edinburgh anyway as its more fun than sitting in the airport for 3 hrs to then be on a plane for 1. ive always wanted to visit the south west as ive been down the south east so many times. :D anyway wait and see what hapens...

hey man, by the sounds of things you need to organise some storage/workspace first then worry about getting jobs done. by the way hss are really handy as you can hire welding equipment and generators from them fairly cheap and they probably have sandblasters too but dont quote me on that one. the wo...

hey robin, glad you've decided to save it again! i do think your rather nutz being willing to pay so much for work that really is easily done. think of it this way, after you've paid out loads of money the car, it will be sound again and for a good while but how long will it be until whats currently...

robin, there is a rather rare '89 phase 2 on ebay right now thats sitting at £585. there is a link in the for sale section that takes you to it on ebay. why not buy that one and put all the goodies you have on it? it is red though, but if you dont need to spend a fortune making it mechanically sound...

sensors?

hey robin, glad to hear your keeping it! tbh i dont think rust will spread if the car is kept in a dry place. but it would do no harm to get the work started and remove rusted sections. just make sure when you cut lumps out that you clean it and get it rust proofed v soon after cutting so rust doesn...

hey man, your car doesnt look bad at all! :D believe me mine is worse! welding is not the rocket science some people think it is, its a doddle really. i think maybe one option would be that you go out and buy a welder and started learning some new skills? would save you a fortune in the future! pers...

that does look tidy, and with that rego plate how can you resist?. just drive your current ride into a tree, then you need to buy a new car!

hi there, well, jesus, thats a real shame, i feel for ya! at least the majority of the car has survived! im glad your gonna fix her up again!
