Just posting an update! I went to see the car and it was a lot worse than expected.......rustier than I'd expect for a California car with some nasty holes. It had sunk into the ground so much that the rear suspension was in the dirt. Interior trashed. The seller had also told me he had the...

Thank you Rich - VERY useful!! I've seen the base unit with some panels removed, but never the roof :lol:

True! As you say, I'm going to assume that it needs a complete rebuild and try to grab a spare motor if he has one. I'm due to view them Saturday! Thanks for the advice. :)

I feel the obligation, believe me!! It's like trying to decide which puppy to take home!! :( KiwiRover, you make a good point about the condition of the cars. I'm unsure right now about how good they are comparatively. I know that the motor-damaged car was a very nice example a few years back...

Thanks- very useful info. I'm due to see them on Saturday. He hasn't described the noise yet, but I'm wondering what else might have led him to suspect a spun bearing: broken pushrod? bad conrod? timing slipped (chain tensioner or something)? Even a broken valve spring? My dad once broke the...

Hi Rich - Wise words indeed, many thanks. Yes, the owner is trying to persuade me to take both cars.....but unfortunately I only have space for one! That's why I could probably take the parts I wanted from whichever car I didn't buy. Right now I'm inclining toward the motor-damaged car as I...

Ah, apparently the pic didn't upoload properly.....TRY THIS!! :lol:

Hey everyone - I'm a new forum member in the USA and I've been offered a couple of P6 2000TC projects. One has a spun motor bearing and I'm asking a question about that in the engine forum. The other one though has had some damage to the roof/windscreen frame from a fallen tree (yes really)...

Hey everyone - I'm a new forum member and have found a couple of possible project P6s available in my area. That's no common thing, as I'm in California. I owned a couple of P6s when I lived in the UK and am hoping one of these project could be right. Both are 2000TC with manual transmission...

No probs, thanks for signing me up!! 8)

Just a quick introduction! I'm hoping to buy a project P6 very shortly. I'm in California where these cars are VERY rare, but have found a couple of potential resto projects...... :D I may ask a couple of questions on the forum before I go to view them. I owned P6s before I emigrated and have...
