Yep you guessed it I lasted all of two months without a T5 parked at home... the D5 is still here too however for now at least.
Yesterday took a venture up to see a man about a car owned by a forum user that was owned by another forum user before.
Cameron's old 855 is now with me and will hopefully get the treatment it deserves.
What can I say... a car with plenty of history but in need of some TLC, the bodywork needs attention and since driving it back I have discovered a leak from the gearbox shaft seals which hopefully will be resolved with a fiver of new o-rings. Other than that the car drove beautifully back from morcambe on a 250 miles test trip home if you like and used £50 of juice.
So the plans?
Manual Conversion with M56L short ratio box and 850R Clutch is definately on the cards and some power modifications.
Here she is as I bought it...
After a day of tweaking, including fitting new rear pads, replacing the comulbas with Nebs, replacing all the tatty engine plastics, giving it a full service, replacing the overly noisy exhaust with a stock one and fitting an RIP kit she has certainly moved on... next gearbox leak was seals arrive.
Oh and it will be getting roof bars too as I dont like the estates without them.
Here she is:
This is to give you an idea of hopefully what it will look lke (roughly) when finished:
You see secretly the reason for buying was I could bare putting up at tent at York.... or was it arriving in a D5???
