So the idea was to get a doer upper that maybe needed some engine work that way i had an excuse to have a play with a rotary engine, After a bit of searching i dropped lucky after a mate spotted one parked in a drive and another mate while out on the road carded the house where it was parked and missing 3 or 4 on the bay of E Jim (the chap who owned it) sent a message to my mate in reply to the card, so we drove over one night and i bought the one pictured below,
It turned out to have had some work done in the past but had stood for a number of years Jim informed me that the engine had had a rebuild and had covered very few miles since and it does sound sweet (so no messing with the engine) i am now on the hunt for spares plus all four callipers are binding so new one's seal kits or is there an upgrade folk use, on to the spark plugs i ordered a new set but when i removed the old ones the bottom plug was a champion N-180B and the and the top one the same as i ordered BR8ET, is there a reason for the different plugs or just simply two different makes,, anyhow a few pics of how she is before i start.
The rest can be seen here https://flic.kr/s/aHskypRSSz, a fair bit of work but steady as she goes and it'll all come out in the wash
That Escort looks good too
Always sad to see how well these little cars hide their true rot. What looks like a little rust run turns into half the floor cut out
