Wave I restoring a 164 v6

hi everybody,

Im 16 and recently i have acquired a 164 3ltr v6 and i was hoping that the AO could give me a hand, i need some parts and does anyone have any (i will pay) or do you know where i can get them from, im in winchester near southampton.

i need an electric door mirror switch, 3ltr v6 badges off the boot lid (the privious owner binned them) and a passenger side door handle.

Also if any of you have any hints or tips they are more than welcome, i love this car and want to bring it back

thanks for your help jack

Hi Jack - great car to own when you're 16...although i dread to think what your insurance will be when you want to get out on the road with the old girl

For wee parts like you're after your best bet is to hassle some of the ebay sellers that are breaking 164's....they should be able to help you with most of the bits and pieces needed.

Good luck!

Re: I restoring a 164 v6

I will give it a try, i found one once before put it was a major scrapyard and was put off by their rather extreme prices on e-bay. i think the best thing to do is buy a broken car and use it for parts i dont need any engine bits so a 2ltr t-spark will do. Im a bit scared to get a quote on insureing it i dont want the shock i might keep it in the garage and then when shes a classic i will bring her out all done up and nice lookin.

Thanks for your help, jack
