Have you just bought your TF or had it for a while and just found the forum ?

Forgive me if I've already sent you this but with so many new members lately, that I've lost track of who's who in the zoo!

Had it for a while, got it for transportation costs to mine. Could do with a little project. So slowly breathing life into it.

Best of all you've saved another one, which is what we all want to see !
I hope you'll post about your experiences as you work through it. Do you know what you are going to tackle first ?

Engine first, guess that's the crucial one, need it to start up, and then the rest will follow.
Made a few changes, new Stater Motor (old one had broken/rusted terminals), Coils, HT leads + newish battery, also drained the old fuel.
So I'll see if it starts up when I put some fuel in.
Any other you suppose I should be on the lookout for/check as well?
Thanks!!

Do you know if the car stopped being used because of an engine fault ? If so it's worth doing the sniffer test for exhaust gasses in the coolant so you can prove / disprove head gasket failure (as the absense of mayonaise in the oil isnt definitive disproof on K series engine) .. The test kits are quite cheap on Ebay and they come with enough of the test fluid to run several tests.
