DeepDish Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Top job Paul, look better in the pics now than it did do. Where is the garage you took the photos? I recognise it.
Yeomans22 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 thanks all, Mike that is portway car garage on the old alcester road south. (if you ever go there don't buy a car off them) car is now back off the road, after the starter motor stopped and was pouring smoke out of it.
DeepDish Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 I reckon iv been there mate tbh. Is that near to yours? And why dont buy a car, are they gash? I have my mk1 so no need for another car haha. OSF FTW!!!
Yeomans22 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Posted June 13, 2009 thanks, the start motor has gone so i now need another one. took me ages to find this one. Mike. they have 2 bmws in there atm and my dad wants one so we had a look round, 1st one £7500 2005 3 series touring, its done 156k the fornt end is rusting from the ammount of stone chips all over it, the brake dust has corroded all the wheels, 2nd one 2002 3 series saloon, £3500, my dad said this is really nice, i said to him i bet its been crashed, and after all of 30 seconds i had proved to him it had, 1 front head light stone chipped and the other one new, bonnet not 1 stone chip on it, yet 1 headlight was toast, and the i could get a finger under it one side and could hardley get a key under it the other side. i toko my everyday normal zetec s fiesta and he offered me £1250 for it, its only done 31k and has full ford history, its worth around 3k. he has nice cars but there all seem to be in really bad condition.
DeepDish Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Oh dear, what a cock! You ent sold your zs yet have you?
Richierich Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 looking good, like the gold/green combo, shame about your starter motor, i got a one from my local Ford dealers a couple of years ago, always worth a try
Yeomans22 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 thanks, i need to get the engine tuned up so will be booking it in soon for that, then it will be at the next osf meet.
Yeomans22 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Posted July 9, 2009 i left the car in the garage for 2 weeks, and now the engine is running better than ever so took a few more pics. and the engine/bay finished Paul.
Yeomans22 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 over 6 months since i posted any pics of her, its now got proper sport spot lights, bumper overriders and an ashley 4 branch and exhaust. the car is currently coverd in boxes tools and all sorts for random crap in the garage, i did quit my job last september, so all my plans are off for the car which is a shame, but if i have to leave it in the garage for a couple of years then i will. i'm selling sme stuff on ebay hopeing to get enought money together for a respray but nothing certain yet. comments welcome Thanks Paul.
banarama Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 nice/ wheel colour really suits the green
retrorigg Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 never seen interior that colour, love it , is that standard interior colour
Yeomans22 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 never seen interior that colour, love it , is that standard interior colour i'm, lead to believe you could of ordered it in green, but it originally has a beige interior, Mick The Cabbies m8, imported a beige mk2 from sweeden with 11000 miles on the clock to make a rally car, but that had the green on the inside, it was exact reverse of my car, i also bought the 1600 engine and rear belts off the sweedish car. The green in question is Laurel green, i know of 4 other laurel green 2doors, 1 was on ebay last week, 1 owener mint, was at £4100 but was removed and he told me he sold it privatly to a enthusiast but would say how much for. Youngy if you going for the sport look with that red mk2 you have bought, i've got some overriders for sale and might be able to sort you some proper spot lights too. the current spec is 1600 engine ashley exhaust 4.1 diff 4 speed goes well too thanks Paul.
In The Pit Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Green interiors were available on MKII's but only around 1976/1977 and they are the rarest colour along with orange (yes they did orange too).

Yeomans22 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Posted February 28, 2010 pulled it out the garage today, 1st time since start of february. Paul.
In The Pit Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 Going back to your interior (noticing the black rear shelf) did you rescue the green rear shelf and footwell panels from the imported car?
