VTISmichael Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 well spoke to him now, i actually owe him some money on it but we have agreed it needs those parts sorting out so hes lowered what i owe him, its not a big amount but enough to sort the new starter motor, new sump and a new filter so hopefully if i can discover which are the right parts i need ill order them and we get going again. Going to pull the carb off and clean it as its got bit of foam in there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhoath83 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Never give up as she a rare gem n will only go up in value n as for the gearbox mount i think you can get custom ones for the t5 as that used to be a common conversion if u can find one. I cant wait too c more of this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thing that worries me is when you mentioned the exposed flywheel, sure that's not right at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 yeah krzys i know what u mean, im pretty sure thats meant to have a plate there or theres going to be all sort of crap going in there!? anyway when i get it going im turning it round and lifting the engine out to do the sump and i will get a plate or make one if i have too! So far im keeping it, tbh i cant sell her as she is wouldnt be right. If i remember ill do a vid of tina when shes running lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thing that worries me is when you mentioned the exposed flywheel, sure that's not right at all.... x2, surely you could end up with cr4p in the gearbox and allsorts. Look forward to a vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 x2, surely you could end up with cr4p in the gearbox and allsorts. Look forward to a vid.I would say that's probably what's causing the problems with the shifter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 this a pic of the bodge linkage, the 2 pipes from this lever go to the oil catch can, i dont know if this is fine or its something that has been done just to get it working ? Also ordering bits from Real Steel, really cool website and cuts out the shipping cost i would pay from the US. Its a bad place for my wallet lol!!!
