I hope the 25 will be good for 140 plus as my last one did and this one was supposed to of been tuned from new up to 200bhp (standard the are 180).
Oh do you mean the ped ? If so I will have to buy it as it is hard to find a classic ped that can keep up with modern traffic.

I can’t wait to see the Buick.
That model is truly fantastic looking.

Buick collection is arranged for tomorrow, hopefully it fits on the truck. I am also hoping the truck behaves itself as I replaced the high pressure pump at the weekend and it still has a random crap tick over.

You want a nice classic recovery vehicle fitted with something like a ford 2.5di turbo and loads of sound deadening.
If only you knew of somebody who could find you one in sunny foreign lands....

Buick collected and I will have to sort out some pictures tomorrow. Yes it has rot and loads of extra work that wasn't mentioned. I think I will have to leave the Renault 25 for a few months as these 2 cars just need too much work. Anyone know a good place to get a wiring loom.

Loom for the Buick or Fiat? If Buick this place came up on a search:

http://linewiringharness.com/category/buick/ or https://wirewiringharness.com/tag/buick/ although the second one looks much like the other.

Thanks for those links after a bit more searching I have a loom coming for sensible money. Hopefully that will sort most of its problems. The chassis is rock solid and outer panels are pretty good but it needs repairs to the floors and sills. No where near as bad as the Fiat but the pop riveted tin has been used. It is so thin I can pull it off by hand bloody bodging yanks.
