1986 Baur....project...new pic`s p4

[Baz666]

Well guys i`v got got my next thing, you might of seen it in the for sale section really didn`t want it going to the scrapy so i brought it for next to no money.

as its a chromie i want it totally oem as all the chrome is good no rot or rust, body work is in fab condition for the age a little bit of surface rust but no major welding needs doing, the main thing that needs doing is the engine as the headgasket as gone so start trying to find an engine for it i`m not going to do any big engine swaps on it just try and find a good m10.







I`ll have more pictures late.

[Alex]

Well done Baz its great when one is saved

this is going to sound gay but M42 and a tech I kit with 15" bbs all dechromed

[Baz666]

No sorry Alex buddy but this one is stay OEM fella, to be honest i`v had enough of doing semi big engine jobs so this is staying as close to stardard, but i like the idea of a tech 1 kit and i already have 15" bbs to go on.

I need an interior for it, blue cloth sport seats if there is such a thing.

[Bakedbean100]

Nice car ;)
Ill keep an eye on this thread.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Just mint that up with some optionmeisterness and it will be gorgeous.

A lovely purchase imo. Wish i'd noticed it now.

[Baz666]

first thing i`m going to do when i pick the car up from yours Dean is give it a bloody good valet and mop that body work bring that white back to life.

Good decision to keep it stock.

Adi, there's a considerable "Age" difference between you and Baz, he's about 15yrs younger

[Baz666]

nowhere NEAR it Baz!!!
he has been building up to a little clip round the ear, yes

[Rav335uk]

No Baz he's not 50, what a thing to ask
He's 49



Adi, better put wheels on the zimmer

[Baz666]

Now now you 2

i`v now got the baur at mine so i`ll have better pictures soon.

[Baz666]

also has a really clean in good condition roof.




Right these are all the things that need doing.
Change front valance

see too the surface rust just above the side seals

both sides

change the drivers seat as the rest is fine.

on the under rear starting to go so will need a patch welded.

other side ok.

and the badge is a owns suffluk classic car club badge


Over all i`m really pleased with it especially the price payed for her, all so sorry Dean its not the headgasket thats gone, its a little metel pipe thingy that one of the water pipe conect to, it has a splite in it.

[Alex]

looks like a tidy one baz, deffintly has potential. get some polish on the rusty stains then sand the rusty bits back to clean metal if there not rotten and stick some zinc primer and paint on. i did a tiny little bubble on the IS like this in the door shut you cant even tell its been painted or anything.

[Blitz]

Nice Baur.

[ImysE30]

Looks in decent nick, just needs a little TLC

Got some fogs for that new valence

[Baz666]

Just had a visit from the boys that now do all my work, they said its not the headgasket it is just this pipe thing at the back of the engine also they are going to deal with the rust and patch the rear box section for me.

Got some fogs for that new valence

yes i`ll get some fogs for it but your dont have the brackets with them.

My touring should be back tomorrow so just going to concentrate on getting that finished for pod at the mo, but at the same time i need to get the mop out and cut into the white to bring it back to life so may do that first.

Ahhh, is that an easy fix then? Dont be sorry to me, wasn't my car . I didn't really pay it that much attention. Glad you're pleased with the old girl though. I look forward to seeing it get fixed up.

[adit]

it looks nice with a blue interior and the roof and tonneau. are you keeping the 4-spoke s/wheel and 4-spd gearknob Baz?

a couple more pics of my Daughter's one:





i have temporarily fitted a tech1 steering wheel and i did fit a leather (5 spd) gearknob on, but Hannah kept complaining that after i did that she couldn't get it into fifth gear!

shall we start a Baur thread?
