I got the V6 from where it has been stored for the last year.............to start it was very green lol

Started clean the rust on the floors only made two more holes but the boot floor/inner wings are are not good so will be removing the rear wings over the weekend and put photos up.

Was hoping to have it mot'd on Monday but that's not going to happen now

The rear subframe needs new bushes aswell so will take a bit long

This is what it look like 3 years ago with a seized engine after oil cooler pipe went on the lsst owner. I fitted another engine and used it for 2 years

The rear wings are rusty but have good set of used ones
The bumpers and boot have always need to be painted so will have the bits repainted

Looks good in white. I always liked my 155's they were quick cars. The V6 wasn't bad on fuel either.

Started to do the rear subframe refurb had a subframe that I had shot blasted a few months ago.
Already have a set of trailing arm bearing kits. Also painted 2 speedline alloys gloss black

Ordered a set of ploy bushes for subframe off ebay

i hope one day to get another 145, or maybe a 155.
you must be getting lonely in here with the section to yourself

I'm ok talking to myself lol

I'm trying to get v6 back on the road before moving. Got a friend who wants the V6 but finding it had to sell it.

Ditto Kev......I'd like another 155. Wonder if I could persuade the 'boss' to have one for the school run....

I like the black sport pack, or the metallic purple (magenta?).

I'm in here with my 145 but the only problem I have with it at the moment is the horn wont work.

Painted 2 speedline wheels and finished subframe

22mm anti roll bar needs de rusting and painting

On the plus side I've got some bits that I had cut from a shell a few years ago
Also have a pair of mint skinny rear quarters

Poly bushes fitted after i brought myself a 6ton press

lol, so much of that pic made me chuckle.
how did you get away with pressing those in your kitchen for starters!!
hope that battery had no power in it either, nice big chunk of metal across the poles...
the presses though are very handy, aren't they

Pmsl....she was happy but things aren't good between me and her..........the battery was fully charged but was careful with it lol
I've got to fit bushes in my friends subframe on his 155 that I welding and refurbing bits no a local garage wanted £40 +vat to fit them in each subframe so it was cheaper to buy the press

women, they just don't understand

well done on a great purchase with the press. mine sits in the corner of the shed mostly but when you need it it's worth it's weight in gold

That press looks handy, might put one of those on my impending birthday list.

Yep very handy I've been after one for a long time but have always had one I could use when I lived in west sussex. Ebay £75 inc next day delivery so no brainer

Got a pair of rear wheel bearings/hubs and had the compomotive mo6 17" alloys refurb'd in satin grey my mate
