Get a sad story cobbled together and get car SOS involved


my life’s a sad story they should be contacting me ffs 🙄

anyway i have been doing some “man” maths and i think on a budget i can restore this for around £8500 doing all the labour myself

i wish i hadda kept a note off what i have spent on the bedford and the viva

but to put in to contrast Retro power quoted me £15000 to do the van around ten years ago same job now would be £60000 😳

Very cool car. If you can get parts gathered up that saves you a pile of fab work then for sure it's worth saving

🤷‍♂️quite large injectors

he was flat out with the multi meter

he actually got it turning over with no dash lights so fair play to him for not setting fire to it 😂

and he discovered that the ecu had a stupid immobiliser and a fried resistor
