Hi everyone. I have been reading the articles on this site with interest for a couple of years now.
Last week an opportunity to get my first Soarer came my way, and it just happened to be a UZZ32, so I have brought it.
I have been very much taken by the styling of the Soarers, so I am going to give this sad neglected car a bit of TLC and see how it ends up.
I have even more reading to do now!
The first problem to fix is the engine cutting out!

Thanks for the welcome guys.
It is quite staggering how much information is here on this site.
It looks like the previous owners of my car had no idea of the forum, so there are a lot of quite simple fixes that have never been done.
I tried to upload a photo of the car, but no luck so far.
I will persevere though.

Welcome Rob and congrats on your car mate, as you have already seen there is an incredible amount of information on the forum and the knowledge people have is exceptional. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand as well.

So anyway mate welcome and enjoy

Let me know if you get sick of them ;-)

Oh you got a UZZ32.....

Nice to score one these days, even if it needs a bit of TLC. Hope your pockets are deep, totally worth it however so good luck!

Not like you can buy another car from the same era that is better than a 32!

Thanks Nathan, I am sure I will.
Ha ha Aiden, it actually blue, and it will get swapped out for a white one at some point, but maybe also a body kit might do the job!
Tim, so am I, but will keep you in mind if I change my mind....also, I am in Birkdale.
Mike, sometimes lady luck smiles...I originally just wanted a wreck for the engine and trans for a hot rod project I have on the go, but I think I have been touched by the Soarer bug. And I couldn't bring myself to part out a 32. There is a lot of small things to do, which I am hoping to do myself (with the help of info from this site and others). The biggest single ticket item will be reinstating the active suspension to it.

Swap it for a black bumper and paint the rest as such:



Haha or you know, make it pretty your own way :-)

Nice, love 32s. Take good care of it as it's collector's edition. Welcome to the club.
