Tech1 sport to be resurrected

[oakey]

Good work here adi! Look forward to seeing it finished

[QuickSilver]

You get salt on the roads over there!? That sucks!

Sounds like the value of a Tech1 is a bit higher over there, Tech2's fetch the premium here, other than m3's and all the other rarities that float around of course.

Looking forward to seeing more pics, I've definitely got a weak spot for Tech1's!

Shame you aren't bringing it to Gaydon

[adit]

cheers guys.
i was going to take it to Gaydon, but need to take: parts, the four-legged one, my bed, her bed, tent, food, beer (well, sparkling water actually) and a cool box for the BBQ for my hosts mandi and Clay, so the touring gets the vote

[skipunda]

Any more pics of the Tech 1 as it stands?

[adit]

Hi Chris

this is the Sport, literally as it stands:




must get it ready for the next 9 months of sh1t weather we are about to be subject to

Painterman injured his hand, so i'm waiting for him to be fighting fit again, to weld the couple of patches it needs in the driver's footwell. no panic though i guess, she's currently SORNed.

[Gortour]

Have you got the running right now Adi? What was the misfire in the end?

[adit]

just got another ECU for it Gor and Hey Presto! running beautifully now thank you

[Gortour]

Excellent. Glad to hear it. Hopefully see it again soon.

Just flicked through this thread adi, looking lovely mate - IMO the best e30 colour!

[adit]

i can't believe how time flies. not much to report on the old girl. she's been SORNed (can't afford to have them all OTR), as still waiting for a couple of patches to be welded by the painterman, but he's always working weekends, so....
she'll be off to good old reliable gaszman for us to do the welding ourselves with Dave's new toy.
hopefully will update in the near future

[Steve]
