A RANT!!!!!

[STEVOID]

Just a quick rant really....picked up my anglia from a so called enthusiast last week, payed top money for what i was told was a completely rebuilt car......apparently with a race spec burton engine, only to get home and it not to run again.....i thought it was just the starter motor but as we've stripped the engine back it looks like stevie wonder did the rebuild.....

i now need to replace the head,cam, and rebuild the bottom end as well , it is now going to be sweet as i am going to skint myself as i am now investing in burton products that really are burton products...it just saddens me a little ,when the modded car seen is quite a close knit community yet people think it's fine to bodge together and then deny tht anything was ever wrong....so to you the man in birmingham who sold me my car, don't worry the car will eventually be on the road and be a proper fast anglebox, not only that it will be properly built !!!!!!

boys and girls sorry to rant but it gives me the raging hump to be robbed by someone who claims to love the scene...

cheers ...

Really sorry to hear that story Steve I hope it was no-one from our site Did you look at the car and test drive it before you bought it or did you just buy on spec?

 

What are your future plans for the car then? Tell us a little more about what you plan to do and put a pic up when you reach the required 10 posts - start a thread in the Projects & Resto's area of the board so that we can see your progress

It's going to be running a 1660 crossflow with a fast road cam and a stage 2 burton head, with single 48 carb, a burton vernier , at the moment has disc's but think i'm going to need more stopping power so looking to change them.....onto the body, it is a green colour with a white roof and currently sitting on 6x13 rs alloys but money and time permitting that's gonna change.....

looking to make it a bit of a sleeper so looking out for some lotus steels....

but with all these things its bound to change as what i thought when buying this car was that it needed nothing doing ,just change a few little details but there youy go,if it was simple it would be dull so i will keep everyone updatd and post some pics soon
