[ghall2004]

The "20 year old w@nky rust bucket rover" turned 20 years old on saturday

Personally being a big rover fan and coupe lover, this is a semi big deal



Some of its looks in years gone by

[vinny19791]

Youve done more in 4 months than I've done in 4 years


Well bar the forged engine and vpb

[ghall2004]

i have done my lifetimes worth of "forged"

And cant see it happening any time soon!

Me and performance dont mix, i barely pulled the works off to date !

TEAM T25 Y000000000000000000000!

It's a great looking car Greg! I'd be so proud of that if I were you!

I think 11-12psi non modulated, and a nice exhaust and filter on a healthy motor is the future engine wise for T16 turbo cars now! When they do go up in value, people will want close to std car's or ones with very nice tasteful mods and that keep the character of the original car to drive.

Look at how well regarded near standard/very mildly modded S1 and S2 Escort RST's are now!

Oh and Happy Birthday to your Flame Red stunner too!

[ghall2004]

Thanks steve

Yeah totally

Seeing more and more this factory spec theme coming to the fold

[Slacko]

Great car Greg, hate the wheel colour TBH, looked better silver. Wish I could find one as nice.

[34DAN]

This picture of the engine is just so awesome.

I wish mine looked this clean.

Greg, how do you do it? Very, very cool.

[ghall2004]

wheel colour is marmite affair, some one social media suggested they were dirty.... oh dear, obviously dont know me

these are brand new parts come this time next year after 8 months of scotch winter will be rubbish

not having kids or dependencies means i have a lot of time tbh

something that maybe needs to change

[34DAN]

not having kids or dependencies means i have a lot of time, something that maybe needs to change

Greg, I'd happily swap my wife and step-kids for your Coupe!

[ghall2004]

Behave

[Stevo135+]

The only thing that you might need to change, is to start locking up that lovely coupe in a dry garage come winter, and actually buy a W@nky rust bucket to rock through winter in!

T25 and mbc plus exhaust and air filter is how I roll too, for a daily it's inexpensive and reliable, still is not exactly a slouch !

Coupe looks great Greg.

[ghall2004]

Thanks steve and din

Garage i wish

Cant see me having the ability to host a queen any time soon

[dazz220t]
