So Saturday I joined another Peugeot group on Facebook, ended up seeing a add for a gti6 for sale with no tax or test in Derby £450. After speaking to the lad I was told he bought it a year ago fitted a new radiator and never got anywhere else with it, but he knew it needed in tank fuel pump needed live running to it.
I was going to look Sunday after work, but he called me to say it isn't starting he thinks starter motor has seized which isn't much of a problem as I have a gti6 full of spares.
So I handed £350 and a mate to bring it on home on his truck I started work on it today.
Changed the starter motor, battery and connecting live to fuel pump it eventually started. It's revving up to 3k revs atm but when we took the intake manifold of we didn't have a gasket to replace so just used a bit of sealant to get it running, so it could be letting air in.
History of the car, old man use to own it left his wife and it was sat on her garden. Lad I bought it of bought it to fix up but decided he has too many cars and not enough time.
It's diablo red with 80k miles on clocks, body work isn't amazing but there's no lacquer peel.
The cars been sat for at least 5-6 years so there's going to be a lot of stuff to change.
Plans are...
Fit intake manifold.
Change leaky rear caliper.
Take for mot so I can make sure it's not going to cost me too much.
Sort mot fails out.
Change cam belt, tensioners and water pump.
Full service as it's been a while.
New front bumper.
New tyres.
Underseal under the car and in the arches.
Dam good clean as she's mouldy!
Only have one picture at the moment will get more tomorrow.
