emptied the fuel tank, the contents looks more like ATF than petrol. I might buy some rust remover and slosh it around and see what happens, maybe..
Pulled one of the front wheels off. Clearly someone has been into the wheel bearing and replaced or regreased or done… something.
Also, the oil is brand new, filter is brand new, hub has been wire wheeled…
The work looks…. Look, I’ve dealt with cars that people have “tried” to resurrect and there’s tool marks everywhere, fasteners are galled etc, this all looks professional. Even the filter is a proper Z89 rather than a Z9.
A professional has done this.
I wonder if Mr Harmer knows anything about it, the car came from around the vicinity of where his shop was.
I’m wondering if the brake lines and main fuel pump are missing because they were brand new, never paid for and hence made their way onto other cars?
Even the wheel bolts were fastened to the correct torque, not just ugga-dugga’d.
