ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!1

all cars are girls, they cost you a fortune, they can get you mad enough to punch a wall and they only look good when they have got there slap on (polish) lol

a better title for this fred for me is (what haven't you done to her lately).

i was unsure about whether to have it as a He/She. the tipo is quite a manly car but as jonboy says all cars are girls. it'd seem the tipo is just a rather butch one though lol!

hello to everyone from Ireland
just joined up
ive recently dragged my old 94 Tipo out of the field at the back of my mothers house for my 16 year old son.(first car). its been in the family since 96. Pumped up the 4 tyres, put in a battery, first tip and away she goes.She is 1.4ie 139k.I gave it a full service including timing kit, pads, shoes, cylinders, and brake hoses all round.What i would like to know is, am i missing out on anything specific to the Tipo that should be checked out.PS its been idle 4 years.

I have done absolutely nothing except tak the cover off it and give her a good polish just before my mate drove my car for me to gaydon

did a small paint touch up in places last night with left over paint from my wing mirrror.
today i've fitted the new heater tap and no more leak got some coolant hose to connect up in the engine bay but forgot the jubilee clips so can't connect it up just yet. fitted the shiny new white mirror, which was a bit of a job! i would of thought the connectors would of been in the door not by the fuse box!

all i've got to do now is to connect up the heater in the engine bay, trace the leak in the boot which is still proving elusive, then cross my fingers for the MoT! tax it on the 1st of october and enjoy hopefully

im stock in the middle of turning into the show car... so if yous interested, heres link...

last bill £840. Todays track day - need new t-pull cable and sheared a fuel fitting but may not replace. New slicks are awesome.

Looks like a great tipo in progress there shame i can't read it though, and can't find any online translators for slovakian(?) like the gold parts though!

as long as it's worth it i meant to point out to you the other day someone has your video on youtube, but i noticed when i found it again you already had come across it!

i watching your progress for long time now.. read also about you in motorsport news i think...
really like your car and i know that keep it on track is really expensive /i have 2years of experience with building MK2 escorts for rally/
but really hard to beat fun on track if everything work properly... good luck to you...

Besbie thanks, maybe i will post some progress in this forum later on, if work go faster...

just bought her a brand new front bumber off ebay for £6.49 BARGAIN the guy bought it 8 years ago but never fitted it.

Saw that, was going to mention it on here as it's nearish to me and wondered if someone might of been interested. but that is definitely a bargain! well done!

gave the interior a good clean, vacuumed the carpets and dusted the dashboard, the interior is nice now just waiting on delivery of my cleaning stuff to give the outside a great clean. and next wednesday i can take it out for a good drive when i tax it still haven't solved the leak in the boot though i'm wondering if the water is coming in through the rear light perhaps.

ohh also the dash bit by the window is sticky probably from sitting in the sun for 15 years lol. any idea how to solve that?
