Haha, well fair play to the chap he gave me the keys and everything before i even had the money! And the next day he was going back to poland, he was a polish archery instructer!

Lol bargain .

 

[RuiG]

That's what I call a great business

 

[dannygp]

Bargain, profit even if you scrapped it lol

 

[RS-1989]

Yup, ive only spent about £50-£75 on it so far, should be getting a test on it soon, after ive finnished the work. Biggest thing now is the hole about an inch and a half in the boot. What kinda fix will it need? Just a plate over it or properly fixing it? as it is quite near the seatbelts...well saying that the rear boot lid is near the seatbelts lol

 

[RuiG]

I think a pic of the hole would help figuring out the best way to fix it.

Lovely little car for £50

Got a pic of the hole today, sorry about the poor pic, camera was abit slow, so whats the best way to fix it you recon? bit closer to the seatbelt mounts than i rememberd as well

And finaly finished replacing the head gasket and put the mud flaps

grind all the rust off and either weld a plate in the hole or resin it, make sure all the rust is off otherwise its pointless really

good little buy for £50 well done

how many inches is it away from the seat belt bolts? and as long as theres no holes its no problem, you can super glue a piece of cardboard over the hole and slap some filler over it and spray it and it would pass MOT.

Not shure to be honest sorry, but in the pic you can see the rear seat brakects, im not shure how far that is from the seat belt bolts. There is a hole there to, ive just taped over it to stop more water getting to it. So just get some filler and itll be fine?

yes will be fine, i wouldnt make it too obvious lol but mot testers can only check theres no holes, they cant start taking paint off and checking its metal etc lol

if you havent got radio keys...stick your hand up the dashboard from passenger side footwell and just push it out thats what i have todo as i didnt get keys with it

 

[RS-1989]

didnt get keys with it either so ill try that tomorow thanks. Need something instead of the standerd and need to find out why only the rear speakers work for some reason. And it dosent have an ariel so i cant even listen to the radio!!

 

[RS-1989]

Well...better update this!

After i changed the Head Gasket i came unpon a lot of problems.

First of all couldnt get the car to run properly, mis firing and backfiring through the throttle body. The problem, the bottom pully was not on the right way as i didnt know it only went on one way, so got that sorted!

Next thing, once it started it started emptying its water all over the garage! This took me absalutely ages to find, it was leaking in to places, first from the thermostat housing, need some red hermatite or something it was called to go round the paper gasket. Second place it was leaking was entrierly my fault, i handt tightend the botton two bolts for the throttle body, wwwps. Id hand tightend them and forgot about them.:bang:

So today found that out, tightend them and hey presto its not leaking any more!...well except from the thermostat!

Some putcharses ive done recently are another set of wheels, with Yoko tyres! Cheers Grant!

Anyway, it wont be on the road untill christams now as im going to Uni un Swansea and the cinq will be at home in the garage!
