A610 in the Rat's nest

...cos it's the nest belonging to RATS, hence RATS' nest...

Just put fuel into it and start it up.

This is a petrol head site, not a GCSE English site.

Anyhow, I have more than 5 'O' levels,
in todays money that is 37 GCSEs.

Yeah but have you seen the price of fuel? Last time I drove my car it was 85p or something.

Lee, it's looking good, thanks for your hard work so far (and Mark)

If we start requiring correct grammar we'll have to delete most if not all of the forum.

Should be all back together by end of play Tuesday .Wheels are being started today .I need to check the rad ,flush it through on the car to make sure we have good flow .Whip the bat off again as I forgot to charge it up whilst the tray was being done

nearly there..!
and looking good

That is looking very tidy nice too see you are getting familiar with the 610 lump as is nice to know there is somewhere to take it when one of mine goes wrong!! Are there many area's for improvement on the 3.0L ??

Bit's and bobs slowing things down a bit ...drill out all the rear seat retaining bolts etc as they are fecked .Someone has had a go at them previously and chewed a few up .Rivet a few brackets back on ,clean up and paint a few bits that make the rest look tatty .....

Reverse flushed rad and that looks like it flows OK .Front is all back together with refurbed gear and new shocks .Replaced gear-linkage balls and pressed in new bush on rod
Just lots of little things but ready to drop car onto subframe first thing then fill ,bleed and fire

She lives !!!!

Beer o-clock innit

Pain in the asp job ,yep but covers have to come off anyway .No wheels as yet MrD and the interior needs putting back and the sills painting and need to give it a proper shakedown before any big trips .I don't want to turn up on the back of a recovery truck but suppose I wouldn't be the only one

Recovery truck, it's the natural home of an alpine.....!hoping you make it to WSR.

It's the stylish way to travel!
