How many left?

Trouble is , is that im not going to let it go cheap after all the work i done to it but i want the money to buy a decent daily drive.
Did do bearings a couple of years ago but dont think i done it right - thought it was the gearbox making the noise but it goes when you steer left which poss means bearings and its getting worst now.
was going to have a go at doing the spraying myself, rob and i think you said about a company who can match paint in spray cans??

Try just nipping up the bearing a bit....might sort it very cheaply

thats an idea - off on holiday again after this set so will have a go at that

There are a few companies that will do paint in rattle cans:

http://www.jawel.co.uk/

You will need the colour code though and even then its is not always possible to get a perfect match without the supplier getting a sample. Might be worth visiting a local paint factors with the fuel filler flap and see if they can match it properly.

just found the email from the previus owner who resprayed


"it is a ferrari colour, the colour code is 102 giallo medena. it was painted using ICI 2k paint, ref number WL13 which is a straight colour but we converted it to a base coat and lacquer"

Make sense tho the last bit makes no sense
Going to check Halfords!!

Basically he is saying it was a 2K paint, but he has lacquered over it. This gives an extra "dimension" to the gloss. Don't even think about using 2K products yourself as they require specialist breathing equipment on account of the hardener containing isocyantes which is, as the name suggests, loosely based on cyanide! Best bet would be to get it mixed as cellulose (this is usually what Hellfrauds use for their custom mix paint) and then use a 1K acrylic lacquer on top, which is available off the shelf.

Hmm it says there are 33 944 turbos s's left but it peaks at 72 when other stats say 200 were imported to the uk.... Unless the difference are 944 turbos with the S spec 1989/1990+ i think the s package was standard... Oh well not even sure if mine is still classed as a turbo s hehe more a collection of some of the best bits from the masters in Germany...

The DVLA do admit that the stats only reflect what is written on the log book ... I suspect that some turbo S are simply included in the turbo list.
