higgs Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 iv put my soupe away 4 up to a year maybe more its out on someones drive with a cover on and she is a elderley lady who is disabled so i cant just go round every now and then to keep every thing working properly plus i wont be insured anyway so cant drive it. what i want to know is what could go wrong with it just sitting there could the brakes or suspention sieze up ect ect as it needs enough money spent on it as it is.

gaz1 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 brakes will sieze, petrol would be fooked and so would the rest of the fluids, sitting outside for a year or more, i would not try to start it without getting her to a garage and getting it sorted first, why so long why not sell rather than it go to waste:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgs Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 because the engine needs a rebuild the bottom end is knocking and it runs a hks t51 turbo so as u can emagine it aint going to be cheep. i was going to get it done but me and a mate whos a builder r going to buy a house together to try and make some money as u dont make nothing from pilling all your cash in to a car. I really dont want to sell it as nothing comes close to 750brake punching u in the ribs and the plan is once we have bought and sold a couple of houses ill have enough money 2 come back to it and get it running again. and if i was to sell it in its currant state i could probabley make more money selling it as parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 At the very least get it up on stands to preserve the tyres, try to run the engine at least every fortnight if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgs Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 it should be pretty safe its a quite road and ive chained the wheels around the axels and suspention with heavy duty moterbike chains and because the house owner is disabled she has a full time carer there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
