My Tungy J14GTT.. past few months and present..

[dangerous dave]

Story goes i was looking for a 5 for a mate, me and carcrash went to Bods and i found a scabby looking 5 with with no mot/tax, lights, body kit, wings or bumpers but a pretty solid shell.. most bits were there but needed bolting on, so i did it all and had it dropped off on my driveway

looked like this at first


then i gave it a touch up with rattle cans


then a OE grill


then some morettes as my OE's were picked up on the mot for poor beam.. new OE are coming shortly..


then i got some Azev's goodyear eagle f1s all round


it looks like poop but has Mot and tax, runs like a dream and when driving is awesome..

[dangerous dave]

been stocking up a few things ready to go into the car just been holding off for good weather.. today me and Jamie8 on here pulled the engine out and dropped the subframe ready for the small list of jobs i have planned







as you can see i miss the bucket with the gearbox oil and wrecked the driveway again jetted it no so long ago

[Kenobi]

Great going mate. Looking good.

Good luck with it.

Looks like a decent base to start from dave, we need more pics of it on the azev's!

i kept it pink for a few weeks as i really liked the colour then i painted it with the last few squirts out a can of tungy so it was pink/tungy fade.. body is utter tripe, washed with a wire brush by the last-last owner..

long time before it see's any wheels as i have lots to do and i make easy jobs draggggggggggggggg..

some little bits of welding to do, polybush the subframe, new trackrods, ball joints, calipers all round, hand brake cables, brake lines and flexi lines, new oe headlights, new indicators, funky fresh engine and t28, bolt the cage down, change the dial faces, new or replacement wings, new bumper.. still need a full hose set, buckets and a few other bits..

the car itself will be very sorted, but the body and paint aren't gonna be great unless it hits the paint booth..

yep, by the time i got it the bodyworks turned to 5h1t, ask any poor fecker thats looked at it i was thinking of leaving it standard and chucking it in for paint but i went the other way as i had parts ready to bolt on.. if i didn't buy it i think it would have been on a very slippery slope to the scrap yard as not many people want to pay out and paint a car..

was worth the freebies i had out of your garage

[dangerous dave]

weathers poor not that i was gonna do anything, first jobs cleaning the subframe and poly bushing it and i haven't got any poly bushes to fit didn't think this through..

so i fitted my new dial faces, they look great, still needles to go on but almost done.. taken all day as i painted the faded needles with some red paint out the toolbox, matched up ok
speedos a new face with painted needle (tasty) waters old face old needle and (looks poop)

[jamie_8]

oh I see, I go round yours yesterday thinking I'd get MY dials done and get a hand with the door pins, and end up taking your engine out while you take photos, spill gearbox oil everywhere and ponce about like Lois Spence, and then you sort your dials out without telling me

and to think I left some ice lollies in your freezer as well

im messing, i didnt touch ya lollies..

all done and took a pic.. the fuel needle looks like its fallen out its ar5e, might have fluffed refitting that one.. i'll run your car up jamie, take a pic then see if my needles match yours.. easy to pop them off again and move them..

[dangerous dave]

not done much of anything to the car, mainly because i want the subframe blasted and powdercoated before i fit it again.. which just leaves the brakes to do which i haven't ordered any new copper pipe, i did have some but chris excell stole it..

im sorry to be another one going this route but unless i chuck a few grand at it im not going to the painters.. its rattle can time the paint really is poor, i wouldn't do it if i there was another option, i did try find new tungy wings, doors, boot, bumpers etc, but that still leaves me with a new windscreen surround that was painted in primer before i have it a piky coat of rattle can tungy..

so this its where its going..






got a stash on new bits ready to go on, valeo light are on, new indicators, bushes etc are all here.. just need to pull my finger out, but its stuck really deep

[dangerous dave]

theres always some rust so grinding everywhere i can to stop it..

[car.crash]

Looks rotten. Scrap it.

i had 10,000 on the old site, im forever writings posts and deleting them now, same sh1t different day.. FAQ's are doing me in after however many years i've been here, i now know why bill j's such a wanger

[dangerous dave]

well, the cars been pretty much a shell for the last few weeks but not things are going on rather than coming off.. new copper brake lines at the front have been done with new goodridge hoses, the tanks been off to replace the fuel line and main brake lines, no rust or rot anywhere.. rear lines and goodridge hoses were also fitted and the tanks back on..

still not had the subframe sand blasted but that should get done after a few phone calls.. once thats blasted, welded, painted, poly bushed i can get the rest of the brakes bolted on, konis back on, wheels back on..

and

drop the lump in

the matt black ideas not the best i had but i'll be spending 2k before i even look at paint for the car.. it'll do for now..

[dangerous dave]

[dangerous dave]

subframes seem welded, wishbones are off having the bushes pressed in by a mate so i might just have it rolling this side of xmas.. very busy working so no time to work on the 5 but its being funded without a worry of the costs so can't complain..

i only hold the ladder for matt so he doesn't get hurt cuz if he's off i'll have to do some real work i wish i did just make tea all day and hold ladders, i had to chase down the icecream van yesterday... phew, like i say...busy busy busy

do try and make out your flat out working like a dog, you spend most your time racing golf carts or mowers about and setting the dog on rats.

[dangerous dave]

cut some rot out of it a few weeks back when i decided it was about time i did something

[dangerous dave]

gonne have to pull that reserve tank off as i didn't block that up till the welding was started today.. bet theres loads of sh1t floating about in there..

carcrash was over today, welded the rear mounts, sills and have started on the front 2 and more importantly the last 2 areas.. another day and the cars solid

then its time to put it all together again

[James5]

James, I've got access to a welder if you fancy having a go at it

[dangerous dave]

welding it ups the easy bit. cutting it out and getting your patches how you want thems the hard bit.. i trimmed 2 of mine for perfect fitment, ones was a 50p sized hole so we welded a 50p piece over it, then the front sill was sorted from my old pattern sills lay'd over with a 1inch cover.. to big a patch to feck about with as it would warp..

[dangerous dave]

Wow, 3 years nearly and I've done nothing... Lower screens in now, thanks to 2 lovely members coming over and sorting it out..

[Gttnutter]

That looks lovely x
