restoration project nearly finished more pics added

[Jhonno]

170bhp for an early lump..

Has it been serviced and had the clearances done?

i've done the usual oil plugs leads dizzy cap will hopefully get an mot on her next week and i'll start tinkering when i can get her out on the road..........

[Nay]

I actually prefer the Tech 1 to the Tech 2

and me!

Though I am responsible for killing one

Same here. Love both but the Tech1 is nicer.

I would take one on, but in Jersey, once in a blue moon you might see a Tech 2 for sale, let alone a tech 1. If you want one over here your best bet is to randomly find someone who owns one.

i've got to admit that i do like the tech 1 & i really do wish i hadn't sold mine (the boot floor had gone & i just couldn't afford to get it repaired at the time

but if you can get it done & back on the road then i say do it as there aint that many out on the road nowadays (worse luck)

you got beaten by a french rot box?? did you leave the handbrake on? either that or it's really down on power but like i said before get it fixed & back on the road & show some of these chavs in their corsa/clio/saxo/civics what it's all about

i sold a 270bhp nova to do this project so i have done my embarassing the big boys thing i just want a sunday toy with this sideways is the objective, lol the nova would run a quarter in 12.1, i think this one is gonna end up being a drifter................

[spbt1]

Well she is just about finished just thought i'd upload some progress pics.

[spbt1]

only thing i'm having a problem with is, the abs light has come on and also the engine check light (will they be related) and if so what are the obvious checks. i've put new mintex discs and pads on all round but wouldn't have thought this would have made a difference.

Help is very much appreciated

FFS same question eveytime! Does the abs light go out when you start the car then come back on or does it stay on as you start the car?

[spbt1]

stays on when i start it

[jonesye30]

let me know how u get on with them inners, iv just got all mine done now, and shes nearly ready for the road, just gotta sort a vacuum problem out suckin to much air!! mines unfortunatly not an original tech1 but do have full kit, rims, and interior so at a glace wont look to far out of place

[spbt1]

just noticed looking at the pics that my reg plate is not to far from gaszman's plate D366 YDO and D322 YDP must have been registered quite close together, wonder if they were from the same dealer.
