She lives, after many banging and swearing sessions and lot of anger management and guidence from Mr Dell she fired on all six, once we had removed and unseized the carburettor choke mechanism and she sounds sweet. This has now given me some enthusiasm to get the bumpers and the window and the locks and the brakes finished ............with the possible threat of getting her road legal :shock:

Steve where did you hide my hammer mate I promise I wont modify it now :lol:

she runs ........have you seen a non football fan celebrate by running around an underground car park with both hands in the air waving and zigg zagging for about 5 minutes :lol:

NUTTER a Happy one

Congrats Si!
Good to know there's another one soon to be on the road. Makes a pleasant change from seeing more and more being broken up for parts.
Good luck with the rest of it!

I have 2 running now as the GTA Lemans replica is running as well but is at the painters at the moment, but will take a fare amount of finishing to get it all up to the standard I want, hopefully this car will be MINT

Dont laugh Martin once I have got these two back on the road, I probably going to take the 21 off the road as she needs some attention now, I cant really fault her, after the initial problems and many hours spent but now she needs some attention with regard to the bodywork, I would like to tidy her up, I have brand new bumper head lights repainted doors bonnet etc it would not take much, She has though in all honesty, been a star of a car for the last two years she has started and run on the button no matter what I've thrown at her ....and that includes armco :shock:

I am seriously thinking about Wales mate the grey matter is ticking :wink:

I now have two calipers and pads fitted and a operable handbrake!!

I now need to bleed the brakes in order to get a brake pedal.

She is gradually getting there. Just need to rewire the new aftermarket fan and I can start putting cosmetic bits back on her

I cant wait to get her dome now as I have insurance arranged for all three cars F/Comp for about £80 more than I was paying to insure the 306 Derv machine :shock:

3rd party F/T :shock:

si21 V6 Burble .......music to my ears ......cant wait

I am sure I can do the starting up vid, its a shame Steve did not have a video on the day it actually fired up LOL I :lol:

I ran around the underground car park for about five minutes in relief and celebration.

Cant wait to get her started, need to bleed the brakes to get a peddle. Insurance should be sorted by the end of this month so if I can get her roadworthy by then ....I'm going to try :wink:

si21 Well you never know do you .....I just remembered headlight glasses

by **si21** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 2:31 pm

I still do not have a brake peddle yet the last bleed nipple snapped off on the drivers side front caliper

The thermostat switch in the rad is the wrong type so now I need one of those; seemed little point filling her with fluids..........it must have been one of those days as Lewis found out you think your winning and something at the last minute screws you up!!

si21 not down or beaten yet :wink:

Well done Simon :wink:

It's funny are we both attached to....... how can I say it I guess not so cool cars, you with your 21 and me with the Dinis. I guess we will take them to the grave. :wink:

Hope it makes sense......

And Its not a penalty, no she will actually go and stop under her own steam now

. There is still plenty of things to do though, I dont have a oil pressure reading, I think its just a crap conection to the sensor from what I could see, the handbrake cable clip needs re-riveting to the body work, the throttle linkage needs some adjustment. I am actually starting to see the light.......at the end of the tunnel.

I think I can if I can get the car road worthy by the end of this month I would be over the moon .......A proper Birthday pressie to myself

si21 I am just praying that everything for once just once goes to plan in my favour :lol:
