Hi all. Im starting my project on the 6 and just thought id ask for advice on parts on the car that might be worth removing and selling as the project will probly be a year long. I dont want to get the car back on the road once completed and find out that parts have siezed/ perished/ corroded etc. i plan to replace a lot of parts anyway but any info will be muchly appreciated Smile

Freshen it up, billy shocks, fresh rear mounts and decent discs and pads. Then hire a welder and we can trick out the old girl. Wink

As long as the parts aren't stressed at all they should be fine. So I'd have the car on axle stands front and rear to stop the tyres getting flat spots etc.

Or as one member on here likes to do that works for him is shuffle it back a forth a few feet every now and then Whistle

As for uprating stuff?, how much you looking at spending Danny?
Paula and Nick have some wheels with slicks on for not a lot of cash.

Tyres and brakes would be the main things to worry about deteriorating/seizing etc, but if it is only a year should not be too bad. Depends what state they are in now though, and if the car is going to sit outside all that time.

Is that the old swiftyboi Cherry P1? If so it looked really nice and deserves to be saved.

I believe it is mate Smile

she's a minter. I bought it off Pete26 as he needed to sell. I love the retro style and rare factor.
Thanks for the advice. I was mostly concerned about the brakes tbh. May get a new seal kit in that case Smile

Brakes will be fine, pump them once or twice every couple of months to keep the pistons moving and seals free.

Mine has been standing for over two years and the only thing I did was take out the plugs before turning it over to take the pressure off the engine while the oil got around everything. As said above, the tyres will get flattened if you leave them on. One key thing.

DO NOT LEAVE THE HANDBRAKE ON!

My 205 had to be dragged to free when I did it on that

Ahh yes. That too. Im considering selling the clones with tyres on anyway as they will be replaced anyway. Also if the car is sat on axle stands, it might deter the gypo's from towing it off my drive!!! Laugh my ass off

I assure you it won't, since I've had the car on my drive I think I had about ten gypo's want to take it over an 18 month period before I stripped it and since it's been stripped I've had about ten ask in the past 3 months.
