Ed's Dead Diablo Ph3 GTi6

[Poodle]

Actually, i'll second that on the 12", bloody pita doing it with a 9" from experience.

Oh sorry Ed, I mean we'll build a coffin for it and carry it on our shoulders to the scrap man.

[Scott]

Better idea: Engine conversion for the NAD

[Ed Doe]

^^ :O YES!!!

[Grant]

I was going to suggest driving Fooby's 6 into it to move it, but being a phase 2 it'd come out worse than Ed's

Hahahaha!

Rep, oh hang on...
You coulda had rep there Scott....
Only got yourself to blame mate

[procta]

had a read thru the full thread, what a nightmere to see the car end the way it did! i couldnt believe that the bmw and cyclist done one!
hope your sorted out soon with a new shell, maybe worth looking at a cheep 3 door dturbo for its shell? you have the donor car for the full works.

Yeah I couldn't believe it either, but such is life.

Nah I'm not gonna get another model shell, as the insurance'll be more expensive with an engine change...

Ed buy the Ph1 it makes sense, all it needs is your coilovers:

Epic day today. Full of lol's, and pigeons!

Thanks curt for your hospitality. Good of you to have us.

This is how eds car started the day:



After about 20 minutes, it was running boooooooost!



And then with the engine out:




Had a good time, was good to see everyone, even I fooby did try and break my face! Haha

Looking forward to more shinanigans next time!

[Niall]

Epic day today. Was especially funny when Fooby had a fit at the sight of a dead pigeon ( even if it was 3 inches away from his face!!)

[Scott]

Great day lads, good seeing you all as usual!

The pigeon thing was hilarious! Fooby was being a grumpy fucker for the majority of the day (unfortunately I think it's his time of the month) and when found out it had been recorded he took my phone and deleted the video. Sadly it hadn't synced with dropbox in time so that part of the video is missing. However needless to say if we find dead animals in future those will be put in/around/on fooby to make another video.

[Grant]

Omg! I can't actually believe that video got deleted! That was too funny! Such a shame!

[Ed Doe]

Massive thanks to Scott Kim Matt Laura Curt Katie Fooby for coming down and generally being complete legends helping with the disassembly of the 6. Particular thanks to Niall & Grant though, who prettymuch did an engine removal before I even got back from dropping the car trailer back at work!!!

Really great work guys!


Most of the stuff is now stripped, so to the breakers thread if you want any parts it is!!!

[Grant]

Pleasure Ed, had a good crack doing it. Like I said, if you wan the help next time, just shout, more than happy to help.

[GTI 6]

Ed the diablo ph 3 is getting picked up later on today. Pm me your number or call me on 07737 09 7777 so i can tell you what the bodywork is like if your interested
in the complete car before i start breaking it for parts thanks raz

[vlj]

Ed, text/call me about the wing please! Ta

[Ed Doe]

Now i've had a chance to drag the photos I took off my phone, here they are!

Leaving the carpark round the back of my house for the last time
(Scott, you remember I was worrying about pikies; the bloke living in the end house came out and said they'd been round, trying to find out whose it belonged to... :S Glad I moved it!!


Where my dad & I abandoned it at Curt's to go run the trailer back to my work.


How we left it at the end of the day!














Sad times. I left Curt's feeling pretty disheartened. With the engine out you can see the damage properly, and its pretty gutting to accept its never gonna turn a wheel in anger again

[Fozzy]

It may be disheartening, but think of it this way the next one will be better

[Atterz]

Im truly gutted to see it like that . I dont want to say it, but how much would you want for the heatshield on the bulkhead?

[Scott]

Don't worry too much bud I've already been vulturing parts off it

I'm a little surprised Ed, but at least we know we weren't being paranoid in thinking it! At least it's back in the batxave now and is safe.

As said, onwards and upwards!

[Matt]

I bought it this morning

[darrenjlobb]

As said, onwards and upwards!

So, when is the XUD9 turning up then

[ginge191]

Wow... Painful sight that indeed....

Great work nonetheless, many hand make light work!

[Ed Doe]

Interesting new developments....
