Seems my battery tray has been painted with something really hard and black?

Og paint down to the tray then no Ziebart but this rock hard black stuff over the Modena.

Leave it then prolly to prevent acid leaks spoiling the paint

hi i rebuilt the engine in UYN 650M in 2010

[Hoonabator]

^^ that's fantasic really glad to see it is around still.


Also looks to have a similar under bonnet sound proofing that mine had!!

If you are still in contact with the owner could you let him know about this thread and I'd like to forward the 2 pictures and reicept I have to him.

[lee bishop]

The soundproofing was an option wasn't it ??

[Hoonabator]

Have to say I ripped it all out years ago. It's was hidious, stuck everywhere in the boot and under the Bonnet. I'm sure the old owner said he'd put it on but I maybe wrong on that.

[Stage1motorsport]

Hi yes they still have it, it must of done all of 20 miles in the last 2 years
and i think they will be hanging on to it for a very long time
i will let them no bud thanks

Hi this is Emma, (not my hubby Paul who owns AWU333S).

Paul told me about this thread and I'm the owner of UYN650M and I love her to bits, although I haven't driven her for a few years as we have a 2yr old!!

The engine was rebuilt by Trev to standard spec also had new mk 1 alloys (Xmas pressie!) as when I purchased the car many years ago it had mk 2 alloys. Also now has a centre console with original radio, new original spec battery, new airbox (original), new carb, etc.

The only thing outstanding I can think of at the moment are new door cards as the old ones have speaker holes cut in them.

Will try and dig some photos out and get them posted.

Would love to receive any old history of the car.

Fantastic Emma, PM me an address I can send the Pictures etc off to you.

Clive, the old owner would be so pleased another of his old RS's is still alive and well and looking so good.

Sorry if this gets boring but had to post this picture...



How sweet is that top plate

The black paint below the heater bubble is again rock hard stuff?
