Series 3 V6 - SHE IS ALL MINE!!!!!!!! :-)
« on: April 30, 2006, 19:44:14 »
Well here it is, my lastest Landy. A Ford V6 series 3............................  

She has a few problems, not least that the engine doesn't run, i had to shunt Her onto the drive with My 90 but the old Wreck aint as bad as some and will hopefully be on the road in a couple of months.

List of possible names so far are :-

S.O.S - Sack Of Spuds, My Dads contribution
Em - Expensive Mistake
Skip - She aint pretty
80p - Part of the numberplate and probably all She is worth, My Mums suggestion.

Any more ideas gratefully accepted (For names that is, not local scrappers  )

Well yesterday we had a look at getting it to run right and we thought it was dead, BUT!!!!!  It adjusted up lovely and runs very well, i would never have thought a crappy old Ford motor could sound that sweet 8)

I am a happy bunny!

yeah, those V6s with a decent exhaust sound good,
and with an overdrive and rangerover diffs, you can see the wrong side of 100mph!!!!!
stopping is interesting.

The biggest problem we have on the forum is from members adjusting / *ing out words in order to get around the word filter...

If you feel you have to adjust words in order to post them all you are doing is increasing the workload for the moderators.

Back on track here is a really really poor quality sound file for the very very sad like Me who care what a V6 sounds like.  I have no idea why it has gone all high pitched just because it is on the net but there ya go.......... :?

The piccy is a good one, she is ugly as hell at the mo, the plan is to get her roadworthy as cheap as possible and use it for a little laning and as a second car when the ninety is broken.  The plan was to use it as a play site motor but i would miss the coils too much i think.

Cheers Dan :)

Cheers for the info but no point changing the engine Colin i'm told the 2.3 puts out 110bhp which is too much for a series anyway, it is running as sweet as a nut so i'll leave her be for now and see how she goes.  I have next to no money tied up in her now and am on a very small budget....... 8)

If she is as numb as a boat horse i'll maybe have a rethink :)

Bit more progress, we drove her out of the drive and back, all seems ok, the brakes stick but so what.....  Also painted the t/cab ready to fit and my mate made me some shiny footwells.

Fixed washers, bolted passenger floor in and fitted passenger seat, did oil and filter.  Replaced water pump, adjusted doors so they stay shut and the old lass drove to the bottom of the street and back, needs shifter sorting as can only get 2 and D not 1st, damn she is low geared..........  8)  :D
