It came from farnborough I think..... Its great to be back on here ;)

That would have been an owner later, it was Portsmouth then Chichester, then guessing farnborough.

I recognise the car off the forum but i can't remember who used to own it. Try looking through the projects section, see if it's in there.

Seats look in very good order, where did you find them? I've been looking for some beige front leathers for ages to replace my worn drivers side...
Post 776563 by Wheelspinwardrobe on 2015-06-22 20:22:22
Got them from a breaker I brought ;)

UPDATE:
2 Hours after having her on the road it would appear I have now got a possible bent conrod. Went so so well and then started a really bad ticking noise :(
Engines already out being fully rebuilt (no pics as of yet)

Well she has a HKS boost controller yet to be turned on.... other than that new wheels and tyres at some point.... want to be careful of the auto box tbh....

Looks brilliant, I never saw the original bent conrod post... any idea what caused it? Big pity but then you've certainly done a great job on bringing it back!

I got told that to bend a standard conrod it would be caused by high torque (over 350 ft/lb) I actually bent 2 lol..... I didnt post any conrod pics I dont think ....

I was informed by the previous owner that this particular 855 had RICA tuning…. ;) He told me to call RT Mechanics which I promptly did…….. They confirmed that in fact it had been RICA tuned. I got it for an absolute bargain ….. Happy Dayz ;)
