SLO-030 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 for real? only sharp edges are the bumper brackets that are being used to hold the indicator/parker lights. other than that it should be all ok. Got the bonnet and 1/4 swapped over. Tri-colour Rolla "saftey yellow" + primer grey + Mustard gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mate defected for a boot sticking up at the back and a windscreen cracked outside the vision area, the P plate attracted them like flys to shit.

SLO-030 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yea, sad how police seem to pick on P platers. Yes i know some of them drive like dickheads. Hopefully most of it should be fixed by next weekend or the one after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tume Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I find it funny because I have never actually been pulled over by the cops even in my corolla. Which everyone I know jokes that I would. Nothing wrong with a multi coloured rolla Ryan, makes it look different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLO-030 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Car is NOT running at all :cool: I think it may be plugs and Luc thinks it might be a piston ring (worst case scenario) Looks like a day off of work to get the rest of the new 4k bolted together and hopefully drop it in N/A f@$k, Not my lucky weekend.

altezzaclub Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Broken ring won't stop it running, at least not until it shatters into tiny bits, jams in the piston and causes a hole down the side! It will make a definate little clicking knock as the piston won't be held tight and will slap. More like head gasket... or something quite serious.. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Luc thinks it might be a push rod or two that have jumped the rocker like what happend to him.
