Absolute bargain. Well done. I'm sure you'll have fun tinkering with that on the weekends (as I do) but that's what they're for.

Mine just failed the MOT on a brake pipe and track rod end bush, down at the local Fiat Specialist. Not bad for a 15 year old car! Nearly failed the emmisions though but she has been standing for a few months. Needs a good blow out now, down the M4 :-) with a bottle of Redex in first!

A new member i think,joe had a queries for an na and this was ideal. I know their spending some cash on extras so will be in good safe hands.

The verdict is in....

compression test.

170 psi
100 psi
165 psi
170 psi
170 psi

One cylinder has low compression unfortunately so maybe a cracked piston or ring as it is smoking through the oil cap and dipstick heavily still.

So all in all this looks like a breaker.. My red coupe needs some parts so looks like this one will donor my coupe with parts and hopefully others and pay for itself.

It does still run and will probably make its last appearance at culborough as a running coupe.

As said as it is if really is too far gone with its bodywork issues etc.

Reuben you've got a workshop, what about repairing it?

It's not that hard and you know I'll happily help you to keep another Coupe on the road.
