Well unfortunately it Died on Tuesday on the way back from work. It threw it's Cam belt and Snapped the Cam Shaft, bent valves and all manner of nasty expensive surprises...
RIP

So went car shopping with Dan and mrsWRCsixtythree and got this this morning...:cheers::-D

Richie, I'm disappointed, you've gone from a french classic to a Dagenham dustbin!

Hope the new heels were a bargain and last a long time.

PS when was the cambelt last changed on the Pug?

Well in that case... ;)

It's a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 truck. This truck is outfitted with 4x4, Rancho suspension with a 4" lift, and BF Goodrich 'All Terrain' T/A tires on 16" Eagle Alloy rims. It has a 5.3 V8 engine with a dual exhaust. Complete with power windows and locks, automatic push button transfer case, keyless entry, roll-top box cover, and the LS chrome package. I've added the chrome step bars, box rails, wheel chalk for SVen, projector headlights with Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, chrome indicator bulbs, and the aftermarket billet grill. It did have window tint on the side windows but I received a few too many tickets... :mad:

Pug Wheel Refurb Pt1.

Well the car was loaded up with tyres, wheels and christmas presents and dragged its back end back to Holland:

http://inlinethumb35.webshots.com/44322/2770875510084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2770875510084392296GNjqPP)

I then got started on the track wheels, they weren't too bad but had numerous scrapes and scratches which had been roughly touched up:

http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/10021/2127603350084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2127603350084392296XqHdeZ)

http://inlinethumb27.webshots.com/44378/2149429930084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2149429930084392296zbJUoZ)

http://inlinethumb17.webshots.com/40336/2989929500084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2989929500084392296eYSXGO)

So with flapper wheels and wire brushes attached to my new drill I set about removing the paint and grime:

http://inlinethumb14.webshots.com/42957/2684283160084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2684283160084392296zfuyzG)

This was followed by a bit pf grit paper and some wet and dry (240) and some walloping out of the valves, they were soon ready for a rinse and a degrease with brake cleaner.

http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/41509/2293185770084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2293185770084392296swpvdL)

And then on with the 1st layer of filler primer this evening, done in the garage with a vague cardboard spray booth and the radiator on full. I opened the door to the kitchen and turned on the extractor fan to drag out the fumes. I'm not sure how effective that was as I'm still a little light heated.

http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/43561/2871828630084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2871828630084392296DEElIH)

http://inlinethumb46.webshots.com/44589/2835306520084392296S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2835306520084392296fXzHXC)

Once these have dried it will be a case of flatting back with some 1200 wet and dry before going for another coat of primer. Sorry there's no rocket science or anything amazing, it's probably a bit run of the mill for most of you out there.

[punyXpress]

Keep at it, Tim!
Just a thought, but the first 'yellow' picture, LH wheel @ 11 o'clock looks like a ding - or are my eyes deceiving me?

[Tim in Belgium]

Yep it has a slight ding, but only on the outside of the rim, the rest is pretty much true.

[Mgaffz]

I would have whacked out that ding with a big hammer and a block of wood just to avoid losing any air through it :D

New toy, until it goes to Austria to its new owner.

365 bhp Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V, with Ralliart ECU, uprated fuel pump, HVK dump valve and all that nonsense.

It's fun in the snow.

[Skip]

My favourite shape Evo - I had a II a few years back - great cars :)

[Mej]

..........

[Skip]

Dam, I love Evos i have always wanted an Evo 9 the FQ400. But the new GTR is a serious car for the money.
Had a passenger ride in an FQ400 - very fast when the boost is up but quite lame while you are waiting! Top Gears test of it was showing an extreme example by leaving it in 6th gear but the lag is dreadful!

[Mej]

[Lozzo]

My favourite shape Evo - I had a II a few years back - great cars :)

I took an L plate Evo II to Austria between Xmas and New Year, awful abused example of the breed that one was. It got us there... just. We used 2 litres of oil on the 1000 mile drive and the clutch was slipping every time you accelerated.

Yup plenty of those out there - mine was a nice clean example though that had been looked after in Japan and during my ownership - the guy I sold it to 4 years ago still has it!

Thought I'd throw my new beastie into the mix. Sold the EVO VII FQ300 as it just wasn't getting used and we needed a bigger car to handle the dogs and all the stuff we lug around at weekends. So .....

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q52/rigor_photos/picture.jpg

Was looking at the Nissan and Toyota equivalents, but the Mitsubishi dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse on this nearly new (60 miles on the clock) L200 :)

I bought a little runaround to tide me over between Evos. Not a bad motor for 300 quid and two of my nephews are now fighting over who's buying it off me when I get something else.

It's a 1.25 Zetec, nippy enough and dirt cheap to insure and run after having a 2.7 TD Maverick. How's that going, by the way?

Before anyone asks, yes it did come with a free pair of scissors and hair straighteners...!

full leather, parking sensors, it had a in car dvd player / sat nav thing. i loved the drive of the car. just needed to upgrade

I got the DVD/Sat-nav in car, no sensors though...
