And battery tray if you have one

May be interested in the carburettor if it's the same as the one for my 85 s3? Also the clutch master cylinder

What's the shipping costs like to uk? Could be interested in some bits. Just a rough guide if you have sent something before, I'm in the north west if it helps, cheers

Found the elusive fuel line looks like some one change the fuel filter as the plate isn\'t secured back on and the return line has been removed all the way back to the tank so looks like I\'m going to have to buy some hard mile and get bending. Has anyone upgraded their lines with anything
Cheers

New length of fuel line and check valve arrived today and weather looks good. Gonna try skip outta work handy to see if I can find this return line under the car somewhere and carry out bailing the engine out as still seems quite flooded.
The front window needs addressing as bit of rust up the pillars but really don\'t wanna take it off with just a car cover for protection

:mad:Well hurricane Herbert has landed in my garden no sooner had I taken the cover off the heavens opens and the bonnet started blowing in the wind so now the cars in my hands she ain\'t seeing a spot of rain til the rust is sorted, been waiting for my planning permission for my garage for what seems like forever may just start digging footings and hope it comes soon, gonna have a brew and flick through the manual and online for bits and ideas.

Right I\'ve had another early dart from work so up she goes and lets look for these pipes, thanks for the pics ill have them with me under there.
Hoping new fuel lines arrive tomorrow and will defo get the wife to sort pics out promise.

Well she has the best of me tonight still wetter than my bathroom floor on bath night,
The return should go to the other fuel pipe but it doesn\'t seem to have one lol, I\'ve ordered some shiny fuel lines and check valve gonna get the front up on jacks tomorrow and see if I can find this return line and carry on drying her out. Hoping to change the thread title to "listen to her purr" but we will just have to wait and see how the week pans out.
Wheeler dealers on so brew and chill:Thumbs-up

Still working on drying her out ill go at it til the battery dies then charge it up for tomorrows fun night, was hoping to keep it totally stock but finding parts are hard to come by so think I\'m going to replace the fuel lines with something a little more colourful and a nice shiny check valve.
So online shopping in bed tonight I can already hear the wife\'s head shaking from outside

Just been and put the plugs back in checked for spark before I did and I have a nice strong spark even though I can see a little short sometimes, turned the engine over but nothing doing pulled one plug back out and it\'s soaked in petrol and I haven\'t even re connected the fuel pump, I\'ve not had a flooded engine before so how many cranks should I be doing with all the plugs out I can still see vapour coming out when I crank but scared of running her dry if that\'s a concern I\'m not to sure. Someone suggested a little oil in the carb if remember a while back?

Kids in bed off back to see if we can get a bit of noise for the neighbours:Grrr

So I\'ve finished work early to have a little play with the car, I\'ve noticed I have no fuel check valve on the return pipe and the return pipe doesn\'t go anywhere just had a bolt shoved up it arse. I can\'t even see where the pipe connects in the engine bay to return back to tank. So engine flooded or almost drowned should I say so plugs are out giving it a few cranks gonna burn off the plugs and try again with the return pipe just into a container until I can see where it goes.
Fingers crossed for a start tonight and wife is gonna sort pics of car :2eek not her

Lol £119 with no no claims as I\'m using them on my fd. Talk about bargin

Nice on for that price there\'s no reason not to have a little daily driver. Checked the engine bay out before I tried to start it seems like I\'m missing a handful of relays up bu the dizzy, give it a little turn with the key sounds free and quite smooth but can\'t confirm a runner til I get these relays on and my manual arrives, about 95% of the electrics seem to be working including the cool digital clock:Thumbs-up
Were can I get my hands on some relays as missing about four out of the five there alone
Cheers
