BB3

Post by vanzep » Sat Feb 16, 2019 4:25 pm

Just got time to quick couple of pics of the new arrival.
Its a BB3 - needs work to pass MOT but it is a runner - most work is brakes & cv/steering rack boots.
Seller said it was black but it turns out to be phantom grey :)
Its a ukdm 1996 manual 2ws F20A
First registered 31/12/1996 so would have been one of the last off the production line and has done 115,000miles from new

My first Lude was the same colour, bodywork looks to be in decent knick - arches ok?

Thanks norks - the bodywork looks not bad and panel gaps are good - it has a rusty sunroof so a little bit of moisture has got in to the arches from the inside and have just started to rust a bit. I have a replacement sunroof panel ready to fit and some dynax s50 for the inner arches so that should sort things out. :)

BB3 welding done

Post by vanzep » Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:49 pm

Im gutted but still pressing ahead to finish all the mechanical work.
The spend on the car has risen sharply after the complete brake overhaul which required 2 new rear caliper and pads.
Not sure where to go with now :?

Post by vanzep » Sat Apr 27, 2019 6:18 pm

Thats the brakes, steering and driveshafts all finished up - this should complete all the mechanical work - test drive is up next so fingers crossed :)
Big thanks to Merlin for helping get this lude across the line. :)
