    Managed to coax enough life into her after putting the new thermostat in to move her from the drive to the back garden.

    Having owned an x308 that's quite impressive really (the tiny part), was always fun going somewhere new and not knowing how far you'd be hanging out the back of a parking space!

    Repairing/Restoring my damaged Ford Capri 2.8i

    Always a massive boost when you get to the point of starting them after long periods of problems. Had no end of trouble with the MFI with the 280i kinda wish I'd taken the same route as you and dumped the Cologne v6 and found a nice 2.9 Cosworth lump! Look forward to seeing more progress...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Yeah it's a project car. Before i got it the thing had been sat for 3 years and was then sat for another year and a half before i had the time or space to do anything with it.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Fitted a new cold start valve to the TVR and changed a load of washers out on the metering head, then preceded to try my hardest to upset most of the local population :D More to do tomorrow as the warm up regulator needs to be taken apart to see just how buggered it is. Aren't projects fun? :)

    Opinions on this motor please?

    If she's worried about not treating them well why not just get an older fiesta for half your budget and save yourself some money?

    What have you done to your car today?

    Painted some more of the chassis, a couple more weeks and I'll be able to get round to the fun stuff instead of getting covered in rust and paint

    Finished sanding down and painting the outriggers, quite an improvement on how they were.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Finally got round to removing the rest of the fuel system so I could continue sanding down the chassis. All of the fuel system had perished, the accumulator being the worst victim.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Finally got the TVR up off the ground so I can start rubbing the chassis down ready for a fresh coat of protective paint/wax/stuff. May even have it running by christmas at this rate lol
