Trailer trash Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi all, I bought this vti off my mate,he was the last owner for 10 years so i know the car,full service history,red key,2 black keys,red master key fob,2 black key fobs and ir key fob.manuals ect. It had a fuel leak from the tank so he took it off the road and that was it for a year until he agreed to sell. £200 in my favour Its a 98 model in baikal green with 131000 on the clock. I plan to get it back to its former glory with some mods along the way.im doing it on a small budget so alot of things will be re fabricted to save costs. This is how it was when i got it home needs most of the attention to the bodywork.needs a few little bits and pieces for the mot,first off,fix the fuel leak. He's already done a few little mods including, full leather,jazz washer jets,smoked side repeaters,painted the cam cover,recon rear calipers painted red,a crap induction kit and a crap stainless back box. Bonnet is trash,laquer has gone white. Headlight washer missing but have 1 to hand,fogs beyond repair but have some to hand. This arch isnt too bad but needs doing the other side has been repaired but needs re working. I know the intake is laughable but that will be binned asap!

Trailer trash Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Tank out! found the leak,corroded feed pipe. As a quick fix, I'll repair with a high pressure rubber fuel hose until I come across a decent fuel pump at the breakers and by the looks of it a decent fuel tank which i know are hard to come by,in the mean time i will clean and paint this one for now. I also made some new tank strap securing bolts/hangers, the originals couldn't be used again they were scrap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer trash Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Update. Tank cleaned up and painted , new fuel hose fitted. Put it back on the car,my homemade tank strap hangers/securing bolts worked perfect and no petrol leaking!!!! Result well happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer trash Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Made a couple of headlight washer jet retaining clips at work today,the originals were pretty corroded so had to be done and they fit spot on, saved myself a few quid and got paid for the pleasure  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
