i was going to do a lot of things today but as usual work had other ideas as ive been called out!
when and saw the car it was on the ramps so took a good while looking at the underside for problems
only found 2 scabs of rust wire brush and a paint will cure that before it gets out of hand
also think the crank flywheel oil seal is leaking as theres a little oil around there
may explain the slippy clutch report
pictures we all like pictures
new cambelt and water pump
shitty air filter
oil leak
Meow less
long wheel bolts
Fixed
New arch linner needed
rust 1 and 2
pinned cam pulleys

yes the wheels do turn i believe the fronts have been cut down though!
so i guess one of my first jobs is to cut match all the bolts to the same length so they can be swapped around without causing damage
also check if the bolts fit the spare.........come to think of it ive not seen the jack or brace
where is it hidden on a three door??
