Hi everyone,
Stumbled across this forum and thought maybe i would share my project, purchased a 1983 fb 15 years ago and now I have retired i reckon it’s time to get started on it lol, I dry stored it 15 yrs ago and did a bit of work on it such as buying a donor car and fitting full interior and most exterior panels, I have a plethora of spares such as two engines in bits and an Elford turbo engine in the car that needs a rebuild now. I have bumpers and gearboxes spare if anyone is in need?? Even a set of ultra rare early series 1 square bumpers. I have every intention of starting the resurrection this year so thought I might share the process with likeminded folks.
Cheers, Steve.

Hey, welcome along
We all love reading about a project on here, looking forward to seeing how it goes

cheers,
Ian

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum

I will be very interested to share your project journey on here, as will many others I suspect.

Also good to know you have a stash of spares should anyone find themselves in need

Whereabouts are you located?

You can't beat a good project...

Hello, I am in Essex near the Dartford crossing, and I will of course try to help out if anyone else is in need.

Good morning Steve and welcome to the forum, I'm in Upminster so just up the road from you.
Good luck
Dibs

Well lots of fun and memories from the 80s while stripping the engine, last time I started it 12yrs ago it filled the street with smoke so I knew it was in need of a set of o-rings at the very least, as it turns out that was all it needed, I stripped and measured/ cleaned everything and reassembled with new o-rings (acquired from eBay for £100 , listed as for 86-2000 engine but took a chance as I seem to remember them being the same, only one that didn’t fit was the OMP one, could be due to my turbo OMP having 4 ports).
Anyway it’s now running on the test rig in the workshop, as you will see if I can attach a short video, and pleased to say that it doesn’t smoke .
