1 hell of a huge exhaust! lol lucky i got a replacement to go on when i get a chance.
i duno, might finish it, might sell as it is.
Looks like an Iraqi 'super gun' (older members will know what I'm talking about!) It also looks like a fecking drainpipe :yuck:
whats not to like? Having said that there is a little cause for concern, the two ebay adverts were wildly overpriced, not much background to the car either, can only presume the pistonheads ad was better and lower. Hows the gearbox? And whats under the bonnet? That intake looks intriguing....good luck

it is actually a scorpion full system for the uno.

well the piston heads advert was pretty naff too, probably why it didnt sell before hand but its quite a good little uno, had it on the ramp yesterday, done cambelt, service etc cos it was well over due by the looks of it, i paid half the price of his original ebay advert price! lol
the gearbox doesnt like 3rd, i think that is quite normal though isnt it?
just standard engine, which has a misfiring problem now :bang:
check the timing then as you just changed the cambelt.
I quite like the car though, but why have you bought another car, theres no need, you have a problem beau think you should go see somebody!!

it is spot on, and i drove for about 30 miles until the problem happened.
i dont know why either lol, but this one was too good to not buy
oh dear, strada gearbox, third gear synchros, well known to fail, hence the move to the tipo box on phase two. watch your launches, she will lunch the the box. might want to start grubbing around for a spare box, plenty of bottom changers do come up
checked the ignition sytem through, cap and rotor are very suspect, and will fail if you breath on them too hard, never like the Ht leads you find on them either.
hows the turrets? and do you have a towbar?
pix of engine bay please!
half original advert?! that was about 1850 if memory serves, thats a bit of a marginal call whats the interior like? black with 5 stripe accents? manky(ish)

Just noticed that it's a sunroof model! Does the sunroof still tilt and slide? Any rust around it?
I suspect as well that it may have come with a sunroof as standard, but later on they were optional extras. The original 70S and SX models I'm sure were the same.
By the way Beau, what's the date of registration? You might have one of the earliest turbos around! Hopefully you'll get it mostly back to standard, especially the bumpers and grill. Check out Jai's Tippex Turbo to see how much better they look with black bumpers. Colour coded everything makes a Uno look like a white brick

it is registered 26/11/1985
interior is pretty immaculate, it needs a good wash and hoover but barely any wear to it.
i cant get engine pics yet cos you need 2 people to open the bonnet.
and its not rust free im affraid, but it is clean for its year, will get the welder on it soon. (it is mot passable but still not brilliant)

nice looking UT! could do with a cleaning on the inside though
Red motif interior is :yum: :yum: :yum: :yum:
Interesting to note that it has wind up windows instead of central locking. Wonder what's going on there?
And needs black bumpers for that retro 80's look
