I think it was a 1.5, but might have been a 1.6. Was in late '92 or early '93 at a car show in Hampshire (was a student down there) and I was thinking about a new car as I had a job offer, tried the Del Sol back to back with a Nissan 100nx which was arguably a better handling car but fugly. In the end, I kept my Lancia HPE VX :cool3: What can I say, I'm old-school - and the ladies liked the Lancia :happy:

Ah... fair enough . Loads diff tho think you might have tried the SOHC not the DOHC .

Yeah Lancia is cool, but not sure if this generation ladies even know what they are nevermind a car manufracturer .

Big problems ... ~snapped the rear suspension bolts ... and need to open the boot which i am having problem to do so!!!!

Going to give it another try today, wish me luck!

Ming

you not got anything to heat them up with or let them soak over night with a bolt releaser or wd40 as last resort and get them out as the car has been standing for a while has it not so you may get a few snapped bolts we have a great shop round here has ever and any type of bolt available great wee store

You having trouble opening the Boot Ming??
You wanna hand tomorrow (Monday)??

Forgot to update this, got the electric boot opening and closing fine now.

and thanks to Rallycinq(David) for getting the snapped bolt out for me!

Thanks
Ming

Finally, that's all the suspensions components stripped and painted! I'll get some pics tomorrow!

So just need head light back in, all interior trims back on. Then should be good to go :0.

Thanks
Ming

Got nearly everything in this car sorted. All suspensions calipers cleaned and painted . And brake bleed.

New headlight fitted and all lights working. Have a snapped handbrake adjustment cable. So waiting for my replacement and my horn is not working will investigate tomorrow. Then is MOT time!!!!! Can't wait!

Really wanting this finish before the end of this month before i start my new project (New project will be a beast!)

Ming

Looking forward to seeing this on the road and also intrigued by what your next project may be :smile:
