Well having got shut of the purple turtle and hunting for another wagon of the B3 variety Id been keepin an eye on this one for a wile and with it bein only a few miles away and the sale fallin through at the wkend I emailed the owner Tom! and had a chat, to cut a long story short I went to view/buy this morning and for £250 inc. the coilovers who wouldnt.
Now Tom had told me it was a none runner but with the simptums he described I was farely sure I could get it running and if I couldnt id drag the bleeder home
So got there this morning had a good poke about and was very happy with what I found it was turning over nicely just wouldnt fire. I handed over the dosh and did the deal
Tom was happy for me to leave the car there a couple of hour wile I when on a parts run to GSF where I collected a few things inc. a new coil pack, plugs, ht's, thermostate and seal and A FUEL PUMP RELAY ;) and just for good measure i nipped to the stealers and collected a OEM disi cap. With my arm full of goodies I hot footed it back to my new baby!!
As I couldnt hear the fuel pump priming the relay was first to change and guess what it fired up first time!!!! sorry Tom. As Id already bought all the other service Items I fitted those before setting off on the short journey home.
And here he is as I got him
and after an our of peeling and picking and a quick wash
