Worlds longest Resto, my C2 2.7 19/3/18 Vent guage action

[tristan325]

So still not done yet? Shall I pop out and come back in another couple of years?

I thought i'd update this, after a hard slog from this Christmas to feb i finally got this into running condition. So it moves under its own steam. Still needs MOT, niggles sorting and the minor matter of running the engine in and getting it close to 100% i'd say its 90% now but this last 10% is going to be possibly the hardest part! It ran out of MOT in 2007 so only 10 years to do it!

[brettski]

Nice one Si looking forward to seeing it finished!

[csl]

Wow lovely. Moved on a bit since its WLN days!
Red leather FTW

[gareth]

Can't rush this stuff...

[Speedtouch]

Nice. Will you be fitting Alpina stripes/badges/decals?

[pukar]

which exhaust do you have on it si? i need to get mine sorted....the rear parts are NLA though now

[Splondike]

Good to see it out and about Si

[Simon13]

exhaust is a Racing dynamics 6 branch with scorpion centre and back boxes. I've got a brand new Alpina rear back box which i shall fit in due course.

Its awfully council my exhaust but sounds epic

[Simon13]

E30 is responding well the treatment, a massive 32 miles on new engine!

Brakes were shocking and i've changed the master cylinder and adjusted the linkage bar, bleed them up for the 3rd time and now it stops to something how it should. But discs and pads need more milege to bed in

Sorting niggles, like cruise control working today, adjusted up the handbrake. Have a small PAS leak and coolant one i'm trying to trace but its all part and parcel of it. It seems to drive better every time i use it, starting to feel like a car and one thats ready for an MOT!

[DanThe]

Hoo-ray

[Cook318IS]

Awesome!

[Speedtouch]

Wot, no centre caps?

[Simon13]

relax they're in the garage, the wheels are off all the time and i can't be bothered with caps!

[gaszman]

well done simon great to see

[Simon13]

Today is a momentous day, MOT on her!!









Front spoiler off to get her on the ramp, so last MOT ran out in 8th august 2006 till today so just over 11 years without a ticket and 3000 miles difference

Major milestone! Still lots and lots to do but it all seems so easy now its at this stage

[glenn]

a milestone indeed.
enjoy it.....you deserve it.

[Gert_8]

Did it pass?

[Speedtouch]

Congratulations! Quite an epic resto, though I suspect maybe not quite the world's longest...

[Simon13]

Did it pass?

no it failed on rust

[steve_k]

Did it pass?

no it failed on rust

hopefully not to much?

[Simon13]

both sills inner and outer, rear arches, floor pans and seat belt points. I'm thinking P40 for now

[DanThe]

How is your photobucket still working?

[steve_k]

if it gets it back on the road for a while then why not??

[Simon13]

You know when you post saying MOT PASSED at the top of this very page then get clever cocks like Gert asking if its failed! Theres no rot in my E30 jesus, the only holes in the shell are for the windows

Dan, i've paid for a few years for extra storage and photobucket seem to have kept all my pictures hosted

Sorry mate, I missed that, but doesn't stop you being your usual obnoxious coont self?

[Speedtouch]

Hey, he's from Surrey, don't you know, give the guy a break!

Instead, hark at the Alpina E30 goodness with the rare (one year only?) bullseye non-Smiley headlamps.

[Gert_8]

115 pages, over a decade, the last thing people will want to note is the thread title, muppet.

[Simon13]

Can't you read before typing then? I'm not in the mood tbh having you spam / try the wind up on this thread, hows that?

Plenty read this thread look at the numbers viewed, i'm such a coont!

Yeah, you're a real working class hero. Take your head out of your arse you arrogant cunt

[Simon13]

you just can't beat a snobby bricklayer two words often used together, now begone pleb with your vulgar swearing!

[Kos]

so it passed then

[Jesus325iTouring]

Well done Simon

"Clever cocks?"...

I make a mistake of not reading the thread title and your mangina starts bleeding.

So,instead of pointing out my error, you continue to spam your own thread and accuse me of doing that.

I know you have no sense of humour, but that's your best joke yet!

PS. One slips into the vernacular when I need to because I can communicate at all levels, from Boardroom to Bricky.

[Stefan on probation]

Gert, go and "knock one off" in the chairmans bathroom, you seem to have frustrations that you need to let go.
