Shouldn't this be in another thread?



This really makes my teeth itch. Who would not consider spacing the gauges properly?
Even the vent is disgusted!

Three threads in one picture. Any advance?
First thing I noticed was that the two switches to the left of the dials aren't level. Disgusting picture all round quite frankly.

I wonder how big it is?, surely it must be tiny on a beetle floorpan

buy it, use the pan for a buggy or something, stick the 'Lambo' body in the garden covered in leaves and moss, to fool 'barn find' hunters

Lose the wing and less gangsta 'rimz' and that would look pretty good compared to many, many escort contemporaries I remember from max power of the day.

There's nothing wrong with a Gartrac-esque wide body escort (even if it is wrong wheel drive), until you start adding the max power st like the lights, spoiler, wheels etc

a sticker and black wheels which might well be factory? I can only assume it's a horror because of a single typo!

Well if you believe the seller:

"the car was being modified with a Euro style, but rat look seemed to naturally form instead" laugh

Some of the modifications are interesting and I wonder how they stand with the insurer, such as:

- Spax lowering springs all round (rear springs have 1 coil cut off)
- X1/9 Bertone 13" allloys with 1980's tyres on (interesting handling compared to the abarth ones)

Then there are some of the problems - It sounds like a fking death trap laugh

"the car has a few faults, theres a whine around 60mph, I think its diff, the gearbox is a bit clunky (was perfect but took it to a bell end who didn't tighten the cup properlly and it lost all its oil) the cars just had its head gasket replaced, this is the second time I've done it in about a year, the head gasket that was used was a cheap one, this one maynot be much better (both times the gaket has blown between 1&2 cyliders, no water oil mixing) since the second gasket change it feels held back, I think the timing's out a bit but not 100%. there is no ARB on the car, I broke the studs when I did the suspension arms, not cant find the plates".

Seems a bit odd he can rebuild the engine but not be able to check the timing?
