This isa labour of love I guess, how long do you think it will take to get it at least to the startup phase? That oil filter is mach harder to get to than you think, when in the car and the engine has just been run... I am enjoying this, as I seeing lots of stuff I have not see in my ownership of my cars. To be honest I hope never to get to this level of disassembly... Keep up the good work...
I guess 5 years, maybe longer, but other cars seem to get in the way. My aim was to find the smallest fun car, with the most powerful engine... A BMW 135i coupe with 400 bhp just made me scared, still have it. The Fiat Coupe at 220 hp, was a sweet spot... I love small, nimble and fast. When the summer comes here, I will be taking the Plus back on the road, but honestly the 135i would eat it, but would not feel quite as special... Having 12 very different cars is quite a treat...
@kevinjekyll1521 that's awesome mate! I had a little 106 Gti back in the day, only 130bhp but it was the most fun I'd ever had. What other cars are you running, I thought I had my hands full with 6🤣
The cars that are tucked away in my garage are a Mercedes SLK r171 55AMG, and a BMW Z4M both 2007 era... my last purchase was an Alfa Mito QV manual, only 170hp, but I find it much more fun to drive than the Fiat 500 Abarth I had. And the VW estate W8, well that is such a cool car that no one seems to appreciate, like my gen 1 Cayenne Turbo... do I need to say more... haha.
🔥🔥🔥
Timing belt change cost so boom when drive too long same- incorrect chip tuning even if strong engine and rust there are not many these left

Yes they're awkward when everything is back together, hoping to have it back on the road for sometime in August 😳, how long have you had a Coupe?
