My 850R Project (Ongoing, LOL)

[M-R-P]

Looking very nice mate. Don't you have tarmac where you come from? Just mud and fields in the pics. Perhaps you should yave gone for some XC wheels instead

The Triton's look great on there mate

I've always had multi spokes to the 850, they suit the shape of the car, I've neverr liked pegs, too shapeless it looks like they where designed by Matchbox!

looking at your wheels you cannot possibly have the correct opinion lol (just kidding lol)

[Volvostorm]

You haven't seen my new set though!

(Yes, they are a multi spoke)

Might get a set of pegs for the track though, indeed rims to beat up!

Cheeky git that's a decade away for me lol

[martybelfastt5]

[spesh]

Rust free bonnet now fitted, free of charge.
Shame they took the other car off the trailor with the forklift, I'd have had a spare set of doors and boot too

Next on the list of immediate jobs:

Black out the grille
New high power coil and decent leads
Plugs... OE or after market?
Fix/replace the leaky frontpipe

Update: Intermittent misfire 'seems' to have stopped after changing the injectors (to blues)
When the old ones came out, the bottom 0 ring plastic retaining part fell apart on two injectors and there was a slight discolouration around the nozzles of two as well.
Took it for a test drive and it's loads smoother on the uptake, although the revs are hanging a touch again. Can hear a slight hiss around the throttle cable area on tickover which could be the suspect. Tickover is also steady now, where as before it was a little lumpy.
Overall = Happy

Cars looking really nice now bud!

[iancho]

Really nice looking motor you have.... and the wheels do actually suit the car

[AndysR]

No rubbing

Perfect! What a stunning look you've created with those wheels in that colour on that car in that colour! Wouldn't change that at all..

Not much has happened lately apart from another freebie airfilter and deleted headlight wipers. Unknown filter make and a little scuffed around the edges, but looked good enough inside. Took out the plate on the cold air feed behind the grill, to provide a bit more flow to it and all seems well. Not much louder but I'll ditch the recirc as soon as I get hold of another blanking plate. This engine won't be in for much longer now anyway (hopefully ) Lots of new goodies coming

All being well, these bits will be up for grabs...
R Engine, 200k, might get someone out the poo. (Free)
Gearbox M59 with shafts
Catback Stainless OBX with cat replacement pipe
16T
RICA 304 (Manual I think)
Blues

Okay, update time...

For sale ad more than likely going up later.
Pics all here so I'll list the good and bad in the ad.
Basically I'm not going to butcher it with the new parts, so they will be going on another car.
And I'm not taking any parts off this so it'll go as is

[M-R-P]

Been sucked-in by the comfort and refinement of the P2 now Darren?

[V70 Graham]

Another one that will make a good project.

[cherry1809]

Lol, the V70 hasn't swayed me from an 850. Next ones a saloon though
