Went to have a look at her. Lonely on garage. Re-connected battery started her up. First time. Bloody fantastic but then brake warning lights came on. Handbrake and brake. Unknown! brakes have been off all winter parked on trainers, probably needs a run. A few more weeks of hibernation as a cold spell forecast. Seen a a lot more salt wagons recently.

[G-Bear]

I wouldn't have thought it, but those roof rack bars look great. Where are they from? An E46?

[scjimbo]

Took mine out for a run, cleaned it and put it back on its garage.

[Flute]

Checked out the electrics and then fired her up after a service. Still off road but ran very well on tickover. Cannot wait to start restoring her and I'm sure she is a keeper. I will post the photos as I go on this great journey.

The other day, did this Mondeo ARB link upgrade:



I also have tie rod ends to go on (WD40 applied in anticipation) as well as new arm bushes... it's going up to maggspower for that sometime...

Today, adjusted my boot so it doesn't rattle as much (I hope). Cleared out the nearside boot well of about 10 cm of water Spotted a couple of pages ago here the problem could be my aerial, which I removed and taped over. Might investigate how good a job this tape is doing....

Oh, and even though technically It's up for sale and the previous owner wants to buy it back (with my work), booking myself for a track day in Llandow I just can't let go....

[magpie]

what year mondeo are the drop-links for and are they a straight swap over ?

[milescook]

Bottom of the page Mick

Yep, as you can see the bracket is no longer required. I just supplied my own couple of nuts and washers. Pretty straightforward swap.

Not sure how much improvement it is over standard fresh E30 links as mine were knackered. But it feels fine and dandy anyway.

good stuff Miles

where did you get them ?

[G-Bear]

where did you get them ?

Part number here for lemforder..

http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Bushes

Get them cheapest from Car Parts For Less. about £35-40 for the two if I remember correctly.

@ milescook performance wise they're not an upgrade. Just built better than the E30 design therefore hopefully shall last longer.

[G-Bear]

Because I like you Mick..

[magpie]

thanks lads ,ordered and sorted

[scott180gtb]

Sold my sport today.

JBU has gone to a good home and I'm sure she will be looked after.

Time for something with some serious grunt.

[bigwinn]

Green Touring passed its MOT after some remedial works!

Another year without the Chinese making a toaster out of it

[ImysE30]

Fitted some smoked headlights

[oomz1975]

Bought a 19mm swan neck spanner,

Went shopping...

[davidt]

[LondonTom]

Bought it some presents:

[pac1982]

Fitted some E34 foglights to my E30

[jimbom30cab]

Great wheels Dave, looking forward to seeing them

[HenryM3]

Finally, finally, finally found my battery drain, I think??

[ross_jsy]

Hooked some lights up in my garage and installed a radio so now I have no excuse for neglecting the turd. I really need to finish it, it's been 3+ years now!

Fitted DanThe's fan wiring loom and added a plug and socket to it and the fan side (look at the 3 years of much on the chassis!):



Had to use a 4 pin connector as it's all the auto electricians had and I wasn't going to buy a full plug kit. The joys of living on an island

Also fitted a replacement indicator stalk as I broke the original test fitting the rear half of the cage. Bought the stalk (off Trev I think) about 2 years ago. Really need to get my act together with this turd!

[milescook]

Brimmed the tank, fixed my offside indicator (turns out a wire in the cab has been disconnected for at least a year), loaded it with tools and tyres and heading off to Llandow tomorrow....

[Funnybear]

Bought it some presents:

Any chance your car is black too? Any chance of some piccies. Looking for something to replace my knackered old alpina rep 17's. (I know, I know. School of chav. They where there already.)

[Flute]

Bought my neon blue car in November, think we've had two good days at the weekends on work on her. Last week was one of those days, worked on the roof replacing a seriously bent roof lift/lower bar and swivel.
Roll on spring ;)

These aren't getting fitted until next week.
