gen1 Plans gone to pott!!!

[alban1973]

Due to the fact that I fitted an early small port 12a to my elford I have been on the look out for a scrap gen 1 late model to aquire a decent correct tall port engine, then I can use the rest of the scrap car for some bits. bla bla etc..  I found a c reg on ebay last week, bought it for £104.00,  great, worth a risk at that, it had been broken into and the steering lock was bust, no tax or mot, emailed the people and they said they had lost interest in it. went to collect it first thing this morning at Loughborough, didnt really look at it while i spoke to the owners daughter and paid over my money. Loaded it onto the trailer and thought ,doesnt look bad.  got it home, looked a bit more, had a poke around, washed it, looked at it again, polished it, there\'s nothing wrong with the bloody thing, The only item I can see for the MOT is a rear drop link has come adrift, about a 15 minute job.  never been welded, and is very solid. lots of new bits... interiors abit worn....... whats that all about ?  there goes all my plans for an engine swap then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I booked it in for an MOT on Friday,
What elso am I supposed to do.  albans home for the elderly rx7\'s

You could sell it to me (lol). Its a really good find. If this is a better car are you going to keep the gold one too ?? Did look quite good on ebay, I think the broken into and some broken bits put people off.

Well first off I will mot it, then I will tax it at the end of the month, I will get some use out of it as I have not used a 12a n/a before, it will also give me a chance to clock some miles up in it so I can compare to the Elford, also see what the steering is like as it is a ser3, there is no more play than with the earlier car, most of the system looks fairly new..

[shaunwil]

Well enjoy it buddy :Thumbs-up . If you come to one of the mascarat meet any chance you can take me out for a ride in it to see what they run like.

Wow, thats a steal, nice one. Would be interested to hear how you think it drives compared to the Elford. I\'ve still got a complete Elford turbo unit gathering dust at home. I reckon you should put a triple rotor in it with all that money you\'ve saved :yes

[mpk490p]

Nice one, if you need any bits for it give me a shout
