...and how would you know what that smells like?

There's a perverse enjoyment to be had from picking up what was an expensive motor for peanuts, only to find that most things still work

Nice one Rich!

The bits that need sorting soonest are the wood screws... The nearside mirror is screwed on (in the wrong place) with slotted woodscrews and the interior pax door handle has a nice big pozidrive effort too.

I mean at leat use tigerseal and glue it on instead!

Liking your work.... I have found myself searching the web for 924s... and 944....

Would need to sell my nova first.

924 is the way forward, not exactly a refined power plant but there is a link up kit for a Rover V8.....

Is the main reason for avoiding the 944 the pukka pork lump = pricey spares as opposed to a VW van mill?

second hand head for a 924 is £20

IIRC Chevy LS1s can be fitted too

so how is the pink interior suiting you?

Loving it! It's a anti theft measure as no one will nick it, so my insurance is cheaper, but the chance of it being set fire too is greater so it balances out....

Anyway it's RED!

I'll take some photos soon.

Pinky-red?

Rich H · Post by **Rich H** » Thu May 03, 2007 2:24 pm

Reddy pink.

g/f is adamant that it's pink though, but I don't care!
