Abdul 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Very nice mate, looking forward to seeing how this evolves. Lovely oem install, You'll need to move that water bottle though if your ever going to supercharge it ;) Thanks mate, n/a all the way for me, maybe some cams when I have 'spare' funds lol... Very nice indeed. We knew you'd be back sometime :) Cheers mate, I made sure I waited for the right car!! good stuff. Bring it over some time, would be good to have a go in a 24v... I will do... Need to drop off that dodo juice wax! Could you take a look at my heater controls for me? They only work on no4, I found the thread you made a while back but to be honest don't understand any of it lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny B 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Welcome back Abdul, looks like a great start. I always look at your thread images and wish I could tuck the rado behind such castle like gates ..... very grand :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickie 0 Posted February 5, 2012 This looks very very nice. I looked at the ad a few times on eBay I think it was on? I'd say they didn't do this car justice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted February 5, 2012 Nice purchase, love the Mystic Blue Storms and having the 24v lump = Perfect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Welcome back Abdul, looks like a great start. I always look at your thread images and wish I could tuck the rado behind such castle like gates ..... very grand :thumbleft: Thanks mate, they're feckin huge, my cars going no where lol! This looks very very nice. I looked at the ad a few times on eBay I think it was on? I'd say they didn't do this car justice! The add was utter crap plus it needed a new battery, mot (and a few things to get it through mot) and a service which wasnt mentioned. As soon as I saw it I recognised it from UD so called the chap and made the deal! Even with the above it was still a bargain but it also goes to show how bad the market it. Nice purchase, love the Mystic Blue Storms and having the 24v lump = Perfect Thanks mate, the power on tap is pretty ridiculous but the brakes really peed me off! I was thinking of going back to 312's but the Porsche calipers look soo good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robrado974 1 Posted February 5, 2012 That white stuff gone yet ? want to see pics . Nice spec there mate . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Sorry Rob it's still on quite thick and I don't want to wipe it off as it'll end up scrubbing dirt onto the paint! I just taking a look at the car and it's definitely had a respray but not a good one unfortunately. The paints very dull with no gloss to it but when the snow buggers off the rotary will be out for a day or two!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Well done, mate! Looks nice, with excellent spec too 8) Gotta be honest- not liking the V6 badge on the grille- late spec badges just don't suit the Rado IMHO. Minor gripe though- looking forward to more pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 5, 2012 I hate the badge it's got one on the rear too along with smoked aftermarket lights! Lol don't worry it's all going, I wanted to tear off the badges yesterday before I left Stoke but it started snowing hard so I left as quick as I could lol.

Abdul 0 Posted February 6, 2012 I gave the car a quick wipe down today, it's had a respray and im going to try and restore the finish with the rotary when the weather gets a bit better but in the long run it needs a respray for me to be happy. Excuse the **** poor iPhone pics.. Filling the bitch up lol and yes the rear lights and wiper and shed load of rear badges are going Gave the bay a wipe, need to degrease properly but meh Interior shot, needs a clean too lol Fitted Daves gear surround; love this, thanks mate The stoppers that aren't really stopping me ATM And the boot build which will be for sale once I get it out and the part no's Thanks for looking, sorry for the poor pics and lack of cleanliness haha! It will get sorted soon enough followed by some decent shots! Abdul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny B 0 Posted February 6, 2012 It's so close but so far ...... but I have a feeling in a few months this will be well on the road to being one very nice rado Abdul :thumbleft: So glad you are removing the badges !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 6, 2012 I agree mate, mechanically it's spot on and has all the right ingredients. Cosmetically it's interesting ATM... LOL Luckily cosmetics is one thing I do understand (unlike mechanics lol) so like you say give it a few months! Thanks mate, appreciate the comments.

fla 9 Posted February 6, 2012 i think you know your ICE too! Looks good, maybe all red rears on the back and some Lupo wipers plus the Abdul detailing touch and you're done ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted February 6, 2012 Looking good.. well.. interesting! As above, a lot of the bolt on's need unbolting, but in general it looks like a cracker. Let me know when you find out about audio.. I'm sorted really, but theres no harm in looking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Looks great. I bet it felt good to drive one again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) i think you know your ICE too! Looks good, maybe all red rears on the back and some Lupo wipers plus the Abdul detailing touch and you're done ;) That's the plan, my sounds, some detailing, lupo wipers which are on their way and as Baz says unbolt the bolt one and yep red rears... Baz will let u know... Portent, it feels awesome, the power is awesome! Edited February 6, 2012 by Abdul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr lobitos 0 Posted February 9, 2012 nice car, looking forward to see it progress into a nicer car one question, does the bmc have a cold air feed ,if so how's it routed ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah it does/did but I wanted some noise so removed it. It went down the chassis leg in front of the battery. Crap description but I'll put up a pic tommorow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Very nice my stereo guru friend! No doubt you will always drive the long way home. The engine just looks rights sat in that bay. Can you post a video of how she sounds? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
