Re: Eurocossie4x4turbohelp

I should add...you may have bought the 2 door version...at 3 am I had in mind you bought the 4 door(?) . "Wolf' doesn't mean it's a worked car.....(necessarily) it could have just had some add-ons when new or later. If it's a 4 door then of course there are obvious differences in car value and appeal...I simply knew practically nothing about Wolf ( in terms of great detail).

You'd have to research for genuine wolf markings which may be stamped into the car or there may be some other way experts know. Whatever was done to Cosworth Fords they were still a racing flop by comparison with money spent on them and I repeat my earlier 'advice' make any Cosworth into a good road car, putting money into sensibly designed (not poly bushes for example...use originals) suspension work, best quality sports shocks tuned to the springs....and the springs may be due for replacement by now....shocks and a complete go-over .

The car will then hold best value and be best car...and knowing all that you'll drive it well. I owned a lot of cars...123 by the time I was 23, and restored many, including Rileys and Buick 8's then Fiats of all types (including triple Webering blueprinted 2300 sports coupes) Alfa's and worked many vintage cars too....as well as some Holdens and Fords...doing the whole proper job not 'bolt-on' from the ground up.

It's all a waste of money...it really is, put the money into property or good shares or a business or 'position-bettering' education

I stopped after stroking my lotus escort, including blue-printing and hand finishing mating surfaces....Today Korean cars have it all...including twin-turbo's. The only thing missing is rear wheel drive...and that's still the way cars should be made!!

I remember buying a genuine and beautiful 'flachbau' Posche from an 'into it all' Porsche racing driver with a car sales business outside Toulouse. After paying half of the money I began to have bad feelings and so I as I researched......and started asking for written guarantee that is was, as claimed, a factory car...He evaded the answering of proof of 'usine' genuiness until finally under confrontation under pressure demanding the claims be put on the receipt he eventually mumbeled it was actually 'done by the same company Porsche used'. Once a liar always a liar in cars...so I wanted the deal scrubbed and my money back. Look at how many 'Cosworth look-alikes' come on the market (maybe not so much today as many might have been scrapped) ....

I had to use a barrister to recover what I'd paid less 25% the car crook took. I learned a hard lesson....crooks abound and whether it's a colt revolver or a car you can less today than ever, take people's words as truth...it's 'all about money' in the established and worsening New Word Order....like the mad frenzy of a man fighting for his life... so ....if you still have the car or someone else does, research the whole wolf deal and maybe someone can do an article on it in the forum....but, only do what has to be done to it within its resale value....that's my, perhaps sobering, advice.
