BaileyMex Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Drain old fuel from tank - Check Fit new fuel line - Check Fuel leak fixed - Check finish off carpeting the boot - Check steam clean engine bay - Check Panel wipe engine bay - Check Front seats fitted back in correct slots - Check Fitted new carpet trim covers (Cheers Vista) - Check Hoover and clean all dust from interior- Check Key - Ignition - fuel pump on - cough cough splutter, Baaaarrrrppp Baaaarrrrppp Was getting dark by this time so could not resist a blast for a few mins FOOK ME I'd forgotten how fooking quick it was Watch up Crawley I'm off tomorrow and plan to irresponsibly waste as much super unleaded as I can It's funny that when you own the same car for a long time you kind of take it for granted, knowing what the market is like for buying Old Skool's at the moment I've come to realise I'm a lucky chap to have an OSF let alone a MK1 If I wanted to buy and build one now I simply couldn't afford to do it , respect to all those who still find a way to buy an OSF and keep in on the road
Admin Vista Posted June 7, 2012 Admin Report Posted June 7, 2012 Good news Colin How long have you owned it?
BaileyMex Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Posted June 7, 2012 Ummm 8 years, I know there are others that have had theirs longer, but considering getting married, buying a house, having two kids and being the only bread winner I think I've done well to hang onto it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rookie Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Really chuffed for yer baileymex !! Went to my mk1 other day , been stood a couple of months mind. Key in ,fuel pump on,key turning, turning, turning, not a splutter or a cough, battery weaker and weaker till no more. Took battery off ,recharged,put back on next day,turn, turn,even put jump leads on , turn turn, still no splutter or cough. Then realised fuel pump hadn't turned on,and can't get it to. Looks like that's knackered now.One thing after another. Came out of garage before it got trolley jack over it's roof. Glad somebody's having some luck !!
