Hi Chris
that would be good....!!!the whole mag devoted to my VIN 1621 and
getting her on the road.
Joking aside, i feel i have learned loads about how these cars were
put together and the workings of the PRV.
she looks a bit sorry now though with an interior in peices and axle
stands at the back/space saver vauxhall wheel at the front!.
Spare seats behind it in the garage as i have run out of room, as
well as pirelli 235's waiting to be fitted!!!!, and lower engine
cover removed for easier idle system tinkering!!.
front bumper temporarily held by 2 screwswhile i decide who best for
a repaint.
this could be a new one, how much can you cram in a small garage and
still work on the car!!
if anyone needs a pump rebuild there is an excellent place in
Wolverhampton, lifetime guarantee. There is also an injection
specialist near the Merry hill centre.
Regards
Steve
