[Honeymonster]

Looks like a nice little Blue Sei. So what's this for spill the beans.

 

[centoproject]

It will stay stock just a run about 52,000 miles not bad bodywork 300 quid not bad for a 300mile road trip lol

 

[Honeymonster]

So why didn't you drive it back??

I like the colour, sounds like a bargain.

 

[centoproject]

No mot or tax lol plus gear selector cable is snapped its ok I will go around it and do a full inspection but yeh looks quite a good deal to me needs new rubber around but still have 8 sets in garage

 

[blu73]

8 sets?!?!?! got any decent 185/50r14s you want to part with??

 

[centoproject]

I will have a look tomorrow pal

 

[blu73]

cheers, i only noticed the other day how close you are to me, and more so @Eklipse3k, who lives just down the road from you who i visit quite regularly.. I/we might have to pop over and see your project at some point either way..

 

[centoproject]

Yeh welcome maybe when a bit more progress has been done lol but more than welcome though

 

[blu73]

yeah, when there's more to look at than an empty green box

 

[centoproject]

excuse me it has an engine in the boot haha so fired up the sei runs mint only problem flashing engine symbol so i whipped code scanner out had a look accidently wiped it but it's still flashes ?

 

[Honeymonster]

I wondered when the granny would start whinging...



As for the fault light if there's no code maybe pull the battery for a bit and try again. If you run it for a bit it with a bit of luck it will repost the code.

 

[centoproject]

I will give that a go tonight still got a bit of prep yet but not time soon and as for the green.cinq progress will resume once I buy the vag tools lol

[centoproject]

Right one question implications of cutting and altering front cross member ? Like the t jet boys ?
Mot ?

 

[Honeymonster]

Only one question..... is your chain saw sharp enough.

On a more serious note I don't know, youll have to ask someone who needs an MOT. :devil:

I thought your engine was going in the back .

What you doing, putting a few more seats up front to make up for the missing back ones??

 

[centoproject]

yeh the plan is for it to go in the back just thinking about front instead for easynes to get back on the road while i wait for the new college to open for some nice welds but just pondering ideas with a front engine but this one is to dam tall :/

CP, leave the front panel where it belongs. Even if you can't get any welding done you can measure up and dry fit everything, maybe even tack it together. Really would be a shame to cut out the front panel from such a clean little car, especially if it's only for a temporary installation.

 

[centoproject]

saying that the engine in the back would result in cutting and yeh its to nice to cut up if there was a cheap tjet i would do that but there are none
