Doc Orange Peel Barchetta project

No its not, he has fitted one of these with a dwarf in the boot to operate!!

KC popped in on his way past mine tonight for an hour so I talked his ears off chatting about all things Barchetta. hehehe sorry m8 hehhe

I think he has been bitten by the BHP bug well and truly.

well, for brute BHP and acceleration, there are always these devices:

Cool! where do i get one of these then.

the quartermaster on the nearest military airport should be able to help you out

on my local airport we use engine like this for melting snow on avio runway. very usefully.

Its an exciting day! I get to have a good look round a turbo Barchetta. Lots of pics coming soon.

If Kiry is driving take a spare pair of pants!!

I got to drive a turbo B for 40 mins today and all I can say is get saving you money people its the mod that you just have to have. Feels like just what the Barchetta needed to bring it alive.

: thumb::d evil:

I look forward to having a go!!

Doc I hope that you and Kiry were not that smitten that you checked all the finer points as well......

So does it have a new owner?

The B is not bad on its own without the turbo mod, the hood was good and no rust found, rubber all looked in good shape and its got a loads of paperwork. At 66k its all round what you would expect from a B. The only thing I found was it needs an engine clean, some 17" alloys to help the handling and the ARB upgrade kit. The drivers door has been painted so that needs to be blown in again as well as a small crack in the rear bumper. I am not a fan of that colour but in silver (or red LRB) it would be great but thats just me.

With a bit of love/cash and spanner time you could turn it into something real special.

Love to see that power in my B with all the handling mods I have as I think it would make a great little package.

The filter has seen better days!!

The filter is black from new but yes I agree LRB it needs replacing. Its got to be the same size as it sits just under the bonnet.

First thing would be a good FULL service.

Still no sign of my fuel boost valve yet so sent him an email. Just picked up a replacement trailing arm bush kit. A bit expensive at £36 but I want to get the car back on the road next month so cant hold out for a less expensive one to come along. Fingers crossed I should have my replacement ABS swing arm and ABS sensors soon.
