I know of a set if you are still interested...

I know your car mate. It was a turbo 2 plated diff in an FD Casing. The diff was brand new with new bearings so plenty of life in it. hth

wont cause you any problems....hth

sorry to hear of your woes...i know of a set of non seq turbos. i removed them for a friend who went single, i can certainly vouch they were running ok when i drove it before being removed.  If there any good to you i can ask what he wants..AFAIK he wanted 150 for them....I also know of a single turbo t04z and manifold if you want to go down that route...

Take the plugs out and main fuse out.  Turn over until mist clears. Leave plugs out overnight.  With main fuse out turn the car over the next day to clear any settled fuel.  Put in new plugs and put fuse back in and fire it over.  The plugs are probably knackered now so definitely change them.  Also connect up a second battery via jump leads to give you some extra oomf  when turning over...worst case add a couple of drops of atf into the plug holes and turn over then put in plugs and try and start.  That will help build a bit more compression.  Dont rev it and let it idle. it will smoke alot...hth

yes thats sounds all good.   just recheck after a few drives and heat cycles but i cant see them being a problem..

I dont think you will have a problem.  Once they are tighten down you should not get any movement anyway.  Just use the correct fastners, torque and sequence.  You have fixed bells so are not designed to move like a floating setup.  The back ring is just a centering rings....They should centre correctly off the shoulder of the fastner regardless..hth

good news...looks like your getting close to getting it on the open roads...

yes mate, thats the standard one they fit on all new screens on the fd.  I have the right mirror for it.  Send me your email and ill send you pics. thanks

Car is looking great...nice effort..if you ever come to sell the light s let me know..

hi mate i should have a rear view to fit your screen. i assume yours has the metal clip on the screen? £30 delivered if you need it. thanks

any contact details? or have i missed them? thanks

ignore me....for some reason i could only see page 1 of your thread...now on page 5 lol...

change the .9 bar pressure cap on the ast as it sounds like it is faulty.....hth thanks

i suppose it all depends on how much work is required to put it back on the road.  If you are happy with the bodywork then its a matter of sorting the mechanical.  I'm assuming it needs a rebuild?  If thats the case budget between 2500-4000 depending on what needs replacing.  If you want to sell as is and buy one thats already done then it may be more economical...should you wish to sell up send me some pics as i know of someone looking for a project. thanks

Charlie sold the car but it is up for sale again on pistonheads (new Owner)
