s3 questions

[discomikey]

Hi guys, not posted in a while.

im looking at buying this quite tidy 2.25n/a petrol 88" series 3. suffix T reg.

first off, it needs a new outrigger (holding fuel tank up in front of rear O/S wheel)rest of chassis is good, rear xmember is exeptional, bulkhead passable

either a hard top or a TC, havent decided yet (been offered choice as part of the deal.

okay first question, the clutch aparently slips, what is the quickest way to get at it? ive had a S3 gearbox out before, in my old field one. got it out through the floor/seatbox area. is there a quiker way to get at the clutch? engine out? drop g-box down? i dont mind cutting off bottom xmember to lower g-box. but it does have to pass MOT.

second question, has been stood about a year. ive looked at the engine a few bits missing but will be included as part of the deal. needs new dizzy, HT leads, dont know aout fuel line.

imgoing back to look at it on tuesday sometime so im going to have a proper inspect with dad.

is there anything else i should look for?

ta, mikey

To do clutch, floor panels out and leave the seat box in and pull the box back as far as it will go, rear prop disconnected from diff and front from box, there will be just enough room to change the clutch. It how we used to do them all the time on customers vehicles.

As regards the fuel tank outrigger dont be suprised if it turns into both outriggers and a tank.
