Brilliant effort Dave. Great to see it paid off in the end. :y
-
Thanks mate.
Hey, just seeing your location… the first serious trip out from home was to Long Melford. So I can’t have been a million miles from you!!
:)
-
Not very far at all. About 20 minutes.
-
A tidy looking example worth saving. And it was a great thread covering the diagnosis and subsequent top end rebuild
-
Oh, that's nicely done :y
Any particular paint to get such a nice finish on the intake plenum?
-
A great looking example, worth all the effort to get it looking like that & getting so rare now a definite keeper 👍
-
It was E-Tech engine enamel in red. (AEE05-R).
Several light coats after a thorough degrease & clean. Reckons it’s good for 250degC, but I hope the plenum never gets near that !!!
-
Thanks for the kind words Rangie.
Now I feel compelled to keep up the maintenance!!

The two cars I have only ever regretted selling were my MK2 Zephyr & my 2.6 Omega so definitely hang on to that one..👍
-
Looks a tidy, well looked after example and a credit to you. :y It was definitely worth spending the money on it to keep a comfortable car, with a known history, on the road. :y

Now I feel compelled to keep up the maintenance!!
And now you know your way around the V6 engine :y
