Time for a bit of an update

[NeilSR]

Hey all, while since Ive posted but Ive been hanging around keeping up to date with things

Car is currently garage with no mot or tax, and busy trying to decide what to do with it this year

Current decision is to get some work done on it, get the interior stripped out and get it to the point where it can be used on track.  Get the seat fixed in properly (might get a new bride seat mount), get the door handle fixed and get all the ice out with the rest of the interior.

Then going to see what money I have and see if there are any other bits and pieces I can sort out, main thing is a front mount to keep things cool and a roll cage, and then maybe the front and rear wide arches, but main thing is to get some track time - drifting!  But if I cant any track time will be good enough! lol

Got a stock of wheels and tyres together, main thing I need to get sorted is getting the car to the track.

Whats the laws on towing now?  Passed my text in 1992 but not sure if I can or cant tow?

Also got me a haynes manual so I might actually have a play with a few things! lol

Anyway, nuff of me waffling on, time for a couple of pics, nothing that recent but I\'ll make sure I keep this thread up to date with the stuff I do in the next couple of weeks

Finally getting to the point of wantin g to do something with this car now!

Anyone had any problems with the door handle on the rex?  Mine when pulled doesnt pop the door anymore, but havent had the chance to get the door card off yet and see if somethings snapped or just come loose

Hey long time no posts!
You should be fine to tow if you passed in 92. I passed in 98 and I can tow 3500kg. Thats total weight including the towing vehicle. At least I think thats right. I would think you should be able to tow more as when you passed you could still drive a 7.5 tonne truck on your car licence. Have you still got your old paper licence or have you got one of these new photo ones? It\'ll tell you on the back of it thats all.

[NeilSR]

Cheers mate

Tried to find my licence last night but not sure where the wife has hiddden it, lol

Will make life a lot easier if I dont have to do a towing test etc

I passed on the 17th Jan 1997 missed the cut off by 17 days! What\'s most gutting is my test was supposed to be on the Christmas eve before but was cancelled due to fog. Anyway, like Tiddles I can only pull 750kg or something equally daft but if you passed before Jan 97 you are good to go.

Good looking FC anyway mate-keep us updated and try get some new pics up even if she is a bit dusty!

Yeah its broken! you need a new door handle, you might be able to fix it with wire but its a ghetto fix and probably wont last too long. I wouldnt bother just find a good door handle....come to think of it ive got both sides in red spare if you cant find anything:)

[NeilSR]

How much are u after for them mate?

[1990_fc3s_t2]

do you want both sides?

[NeilSR]

Probably just the drivers side mate, depends on cost really

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Not really sure on value, how about £20 posted?

[NeilSR]

£15 via paypal and u have a deal
