four-wheel-drive Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 That Panther is a beautiful thing to behold what sort of engine has it got and what was the problem with it. On to the one before that I had one of those Capries a red 2ltr laser with a 3ltr carb and 2.8ltr wheels that was fast but it did drink the petrol I only sold it as I was getting on and found it hard to get in and out of it so I got a 4x4.

Beardo Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's a Vauxhall Magnum 2.3 slant four believe it or not! I'm pretty sure it's gunk in the fuel system, as it's been sat around for a couple of years without being driven and it doesn't have a fuel filter as such.

Dunkield Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 What carbs does it have Nick? I am assuming Delorto's? If they are fixed jet you will just need to find all the jets and blow them out with air duster or clear them with a pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's a Zenith Stromberg 175 CD - same as an MGB / Triumph Stag / Jag E-type etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I wish there was a repro So do I, even considered making one but there's far too much work involved for it to be feasible for me. Maybe some enterprising engineer on PW will see this and consider knocking a few kits out. Hint hint, nudge nudge. Could probably make good money from it, too.

Tam Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sorry been away from computer (and under a bonnet)! Here's my old 924 Turbo / 944 hybrid - was great fun and fairly cheap. Still owned by my friend PW member Charger Here's my Panther Lima last Saturday... And here it is on Sunday. 80 miles from home... We just sold a Panther Kolistra (spelling) not sure what was under the bonnet of that one ? But my boss asked me to repair one 20 years ago - tha back axle was bent! This one had a 2.8 Ford V6 so I "fabricated" an axle out of a 2.8i Capri with an LSD boy was it tail happy :blush: Don't think it should have had an LSD :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hey Beardo is that a 924 GT body kit you fitted to it? Can't see from the pics but where you running Fuchs or are they cookie cutters? My mom had a genuine 924 Carerra GT when I was a kid, wish she had kept it.

rimfire4969 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 My Sunbeam at the spray shop. Its being resprayed its original colour white. Hopefully how it will end up looking. (not my car or picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) My Sunbeam at the spray shop. Its being resprayed its original colour white. Hopefully how it will end up looking. (not my car or picture) Looks like you are making a good job of restoring it I do not much like white as a colour for cars shows up the dirt to much but I do think that it is always best to keep to the original colour I think it looks bad if you take something off and find that it is painted a different colour underneath the worst one of all for me is to see a white Land Rover Defender :no: .

four-wheel-drive Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Here's my pride and joy a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with OE Fuchs wheels. pm_0105%208.2.jpg They did up one of those the other day on that car resteration program on TV chan 4/5 I forget I did not get it they said that it had been left in a yard for several years and the inside was a bit taty but it was for the most part rust free and the engine and gearbox was good they paid 5k for it and in the end they recond that it was worth 13K.

Beardo Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Loving the sunbeam. Cookie cutters and 944 wings (I'll write up the long version when I'm on a computer) Shame she didn't keep the GT, not many about these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
