My Baby Away For The Winter

[205BigTosh 0]

well its that time of year again a bit later than normal but the pug is going along to my dads to be stored away for the winter as the salts been washed away and its been mild for a few days here.

i managed 1800miles from the time i m.o.t and taxed it after the rebuild in june till now. new 2.0 litre 16v,new front slam panal fitted, twin fan for radiator,re-wired new loom from 406,all the parts underneath painted, wax oiled,undersealed etc.to much to list

 

cant believe the smile factor after 7 years off the road it gave me again listening to the 16v,s thundering down the back roads.

 

see ya in march /april ole buddy.

 

roll on 2012 and some country roads sorry for the poor quality pictures as taking on the mobile.

yeah i know welshpug, it has been sitting in my drive until my old man got round to clearing the garage out for me. it was covered up until i had a chance to move it along without salt on the road and the run up to xmas etc.

Thanks fella, mines went off the road october to, yeah the mild weather tempted me to take her for a spin yesterday, but i gave her a valet ready for the garage.

hello gaz thanks mate, yes i work at the council in southfield.

 

its all origonal paint apart from the bonnet as the laquar started peeling on its own so i got it done again as it was an eyesore to look at.

i plan to fully respray it next year as when you pull the seal back on the sunroof its really faded over the years.

 

when it got the 406 conversion it was saturn electrics that did the job for me, im no use with electrics to that standard.

as for brake horse i dont have a clue mate, that doesnt really bother me now tbh, i just wanted another 16v in it as the s16 was in it before and was around 170bhp before the oil pump shattered on me.

where is saturn electrics about, my mi isnt starting < no fuel firing through the injectors. needs fixed soon as mine is sitting in bits with no paint or bodykit on it now. would like it running before its full respray but ive not decided on colour yet, really do like the miami blue tho.

is your fuel pumping buzzing when you turn the ignition on, might be the pump or the pump relay, saturn electrics is in cardenden ind est.
