Early April - Project Coupe for spares or repair
This is the nightfire red coupe I purchased in November in order to restore and preserve my 827 as much as I can.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12678
It has MOT until about 25th April so could be driven away
I will add some pictures after the weekend as I will have finished swapping the panels that I am keeping etc.
The good bits relate to wheels/tyres, brakes, engine, gearbox, doors, windows (all work), and the beige interior.
The sills seem pretty solid.
The major bad bit is the wings (which are the old rotten BRG spares I previously had) which also lack the plastic trim.
Other considerations are the now unmatched bumper colour (although the bumpers themselves are in good condition - Woodcote green!).
The swapped bonnet is in good condition but needs a proper respray to colour match.
The seatbelts are non airbag so the SRS light comes on. I have swapped for the grey interior. There is also an intermittent fault on one of the ABS sensors - I have had this before and in current state does not impact on the MOT.
The temperature gauge does not register although there is no hint of overheating.
this could be driven away in a couple of weeks if it is of benefit.
If not it will probably be broken as I already have received an offer for the engine & gearbox.
Let me know if this is of any interest - I would not be looking for a massive cash adjustment....

No problem - I am hoping I will get to swap them out for the old 827 coathangers which should make life a bit easier all roundmidnite wrote:I'm still on for the anti roll bars ian. also i need a lower screen finisher, and the metal plenum plate cover by the servo if they are rust free(long shot) i know.

i can't find any pics ian, but if you look under the bonnet where the wiper arms bolt to the car the plastic covers which fit underneath the wipers, on the drivers side above the servo, is a metal plate under the black plastic cover, 9 out of ten its rotted, but if its hole free id have it.
