PostPosted: Sat Aug 04, 2007 8:45 pm 
Just wanted to show her off

Nice and tidy little 1850 with 1 months MOT needs small amount of engine work and a small amount of welding

Apsolute bargain @ £200 eh :P:P

that looks like a gem!!

:D

200 notes... good man, you robbed him, the shell's probably worth £500+ without the engine, transmission and interior.

whats up with the engine?

plenty of good advice on here...

:wink:

He said he droped some bolt init while working on her but he's not started it since so i got to do some heart surgery and find that.
she's had a new engine at some point only done 38000, he droped the bolt when the head gasket went so he says.

put another engine in if i have 2

You've got yourself quite a bargain by the sounds of things, do the few jobs that need doing and you've got yourself a very good 1850.

Nice one

VYO 372M :D

You got a good prospect there,should make a nice car,about the radio dont hold your breath, if you thinks its worth money, , you will go blue :?
most people who want the period look get fm converted ones with Ipod connection, 8)
I collect portable radios,dansets,murphys,bush,philips,cossor,many others and I started selling them off as one day they will have no signals to pick up,digital quality is so 8)

the best audio equipment I have bought are a pair of massive lowther speakers,these came from the bargain basement of richer sounds at london bridge station(winter of 79),It was them for £90,or a orange spacemans helmet tv for £85.00 I have been offered over 2k for them, :?
Jod you have some quality tastes 8)

Bin the radio then!.

Spent all day ripping bits off her and removing the sump,
gasket had welded itself on bigtime.

found a bit more rust and the front lights are hanging on need the panels that hold the lights in place, and maybe new sill's

but iv had a great day :)

are body panels [Sill's] avaliable through the club?
or do i just look for them at rimmer's?
