Thread: Dug out one of our S1s

well it is in there some whare We have had some big rain here over the last few years and these old boat anchors seem to sink in time.


Had to do some pruneing to get the Ford out


It had sunk a bit over the years. It fired up but just smoked the tyres. Had to get the 2 Door out to shift it.


Even it almost dug its self in


Hate to say it but even though the S1 fired up it had sunk as well. I wasn't going to risk driving it out so pulled it free 1st. Then drove it out.

Few more pics








We are having some discussion here now on this things future. Obviously it is not viable to to a full restoration. So do we keep it as is. Just tidy it up paint, mech etc. OR Put Range Rover under pinings in it and keep the body as S1 You know I like the Rangies I think it would be a crime though. For now we will get it sorted as is.

You are only two and a half hours from here I better hide it again The country looks well here for how cold it is now. We seem to be picking up odd falls of rain. Tony

We have here a Dodge Master cylinder and a VH 44 inline boaster. Master cylinder has dried out and a bit seized so will see how bad it is before rekit. I suspect slave cylinders will be the same. Also needs a new front flexible hose and rear steel pipe. Have not looked any further yet Tony

After seeing the piles of rusting scrap some people have restored into gleaming showroom condition vehicles this weekend at the Eastern Creek Classic I wouldn't be too swift to come to that conclusion...
