The amount of #vanlife people going around with solid mahogany tables, 4 post beds, and real marble tiled splashbacks needs to be addressed at some stage.
Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.
- Thread starter slip
- Start date
And whether the handcuffs are permanently attached to the bed head.

They weren't horrible. He won't be interested.
Probably more accurate to state some steel in chassis.

It’s Peugeot bits in them I think. Pretty cool. But no I don’t want one.Calling @Haakon incoming project for you, Renault based apparently so definitely up your alley.

If I wanted some fibreglass encased French rust I’d prefer an Alpine A310…

Yeah, the early ones were on the R8 platform, like the Alpine A110.
The Bagheera doesn’t have much of either Pug or Reno, although Peugeot used their engine after they took on Matra.
Id love a Matra built Reno Espace though
That looks like water marking. Polished the journal with a scotchbrite pad.

It does indeed. Stuffed if i know how though - its 100K old, I've had it since 12K and its lived on 7500km oil changes the time ive had it. It was parked up for 18 months here, but doesnt explain how water got in there. Mains don't have the marking. Quite odd.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes

I guess so, but wouldn't have expected that to get in between a journal and bearing shell... The oil that came out was pretty feral looking for only having 3000kms on it too, so Im thinking it got a fair bit of fuel contamination from those kms running on horrible timing and excess fuel delivery.
Oh well, a full set of main and big end shells cost about 80 bucks so will clean it all up and reassemble. Those big end shells looked mostly ok, but given the kms on the engine and way its been serviced I would have preferred they looked better.

It could be a water stain from the last time you removed the head and it's ended up in the oil gallery.

Head has never been off this engine. This is the first time it’s ever been opened in any way!
Did your neighbours piss on it?

In the hope it would turn into an M12?
