Default Adams 98 TI (Cheap winter skidder)

Soooo... didnt fancy running my Zetec S Fiesta through winter with fancy wheels, plus the mileage is creeping up rapidly so decided on Saturday I wanted a cheap toy, next day I viewed an E36 Compact 318ti. 91K on the clock and had it on the ramp and doesn't need any work for the MOT, bargain! AND no rust!! Everything works!

No proper pictures yet, but you get the idea.










Bled the clutch and brakes, they're both 10x better now especially the clutch!
Got a load of service bits to fit tomorrow but done the plugs tonight to save time tomorrow. Runs much smoother now as was a bit lumpy before! One of the plugs had a crack in too!







Car literally has nothing wrong with it! All bushes are ok at the moment, only thing starting to go is a front shock but suspension will be swapped shortly.

Also rerouted the HT leads as they were all messy and I know its a small detail, but I notice it when you lift the bonnet.

The next update was that the car passed the MOT smoothly, woohoo! Then having issues with taxing it as the law now states a car has to be insured, ballache.


Also fitted a new auxiliary belt as the last one was shot and didn't fancy risking a breakdown! Was a blooming tight squeeze without removing the fan but managed it in the end!







Got tax sorted in the end luckily.

Woke up yesterday and got some motivation to do some work... started the day with this...






Then saw a Mtech bumper pop up on facebook for peanuts so grabbed that, needs a clean/polish and a quick bit of paint on the lower half (photos dont show it very well) but for the money I paid, give a **** haha.





And of course, a quick sticker for more power, init.



Enjoy. More updates to come soon.
