Black Rallye Project - For sale soon

[Mitch]

Been on here a while now and never really posted much so thought i better get started!

Got myself a rallye on boxing day, was a bit of a spur of a moment thing, saw it on ebay thought that looks nice and rather cheap so messaged the guy and went and picked it up

82k on the clock, 5 owners, mot'd until aug 13, 4 brand new tyres, receipts for a cambelt at 63k back in 2010, and a bit of service history, for some reason a ph2 bumper was fitted, now changed to ph3!

When i got it home
   

The plan really is to make/keep it all original with there only being 100 of them, so the proper ph3 bumper goes on!
   

The bonnet was stone chipped a lot so i bought one off mate who is breaking a d turbo, user name 'joe205' still has many parts left and there all very cheap! I cant upload pics of the new bonnet because there too large?!

Some pics of it all cleaned up
   
   
   

Sadly its off the road at the moment due to me getting my d turbo back and it needs a few jobs doing which i can get on with whilst not using using it!

Engine mount needs welding, aux belt tensioner and idler pulley need changing (sounds supercharged) and the rear pads are out! i have all the parts just need a bit of nice weather!

Ill keep updating as the work goes on! Mitch.

Lovely looking car fella looks like its in the right hands to get the attention it deserves.

When you say the engine mount needs welding do you mean the LH upper one?

I've got to do mine aswell any tips on how you did yours?
Picture of how mine is at the moment

[Rich306]

Whoah!! :o That is shocking!!

Mine is nowhere near that bad...

What needs to be done is as follows: Cut out a C shaped hole around the rusted area and put another plate of metal in.

It is bad never noticed until I had the Engine out recently I assumed it was the actual mount not fully tight so tightened it and was still rocking but I will get round to doing it soon looks bad but hopefully ill be able to sort something.

I have a feeling the guy who had it before me when he changed to gearbox he lowered the engine with a jack it slipped and cracked the metal causing it to end up like it is.

Love this, I need to come round and see it already!

I'm pretty sure I've got some pics of when I did my xud, I'll have a look when I'm home, I got a big washer and placed it where the mount screws into to the body, I got a bolt and screwed it into the body so it holds the washer central, then weld around the outside of the washer and remove bolt when done, and then screw in the mount.. If its gone to the point where the captive nut has fell away from the body altogether I would do as above but weld a nut to the washer before hand (this will be the new place where the mount screws in) and then get it in a central position again, this prob makes sense what so ever, I'll try to find the pics later!

Done nothing at all with the rallye lately, shame really as its still mot'd and taxed, cant really afford to run two cars and the insurance isnt the best on the rallye with me being 19, gave it a clean the other day as it was looking sorry for itself, covered in dust cob webs etc, looks happier now

   

I need to change the rear pads and the aux belt guide pully too, will try to update as much as i can when i get around to doing it!

[Stephen]

Great picture Mitch. Got the whole car in :p
