jazz1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I know all to well about how it feels to lose the interest in a build, and like you i get far more enjoyment out of spending hours struggling just to undo one part, or trying to figure out how parts come off. Mine has been stood in the garage for 4 years in August, and before that was a healthy Bpu'd 6 speed that pulled and drove faultlessly all day long. Back in 2011 i planned on replacing every hose, gasket and part i could, and really wanted to max out my setup, so i spent hours and hours really enjoying the strip down, i ordered all new parts including a new Rad, exhaust, better decat's, pulleys, injectors, plugs etc, i was also in talks with Paul at Whifbitz about cams, new hybrid turbo's, FMIC's and anything else i could think of. But then for the last 3 years i just never find the time, or have the motivation to get out there and finish it off. I know to most it will look like its a few hours from being put back together, but having not been fired up in so long, i have no idea what problems will arise, as well as things like tyre's being scrap now and brakes probably seized up. I loved the looks the car got back then, and have really missed just being able to walk outside and drive it, wished id never messed with it now Back in 2011 http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo66/Suprad06/Car%20Pics/DSC04125Medium.jpg For the last 3+ years http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo66/Suprad06/S2_zpsd9ad19f4.jpg Funny you posted I was looking at your garage the other day admiring your car, I would give it to SRD you can't go wrong. Leaving your car parked like I did would mean internals seizing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm going to go with 1 last harrah. 87209-14800 87209-14810 87245-1B300 87248-14230 87248-14240 The above will totally refresh the heater matrix hoses/pipes. I'll also order a new heater matrix from demisterman. Worse case it'll cost me £100 or so quid and a few hours worth of work. If it works out, then brilliant. If not, it's getting broken. Last chance saloon. Well done bud. Keep the momentum up and get the Cnut finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of my main worry tbh, there could be a number of parts that are seized up. Im hoping it being garaged has protected it to some extent, but we shall see.

Jazz also has the unique vermin situation eating his car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
