well today after I finished work, I managed to do a few bits today.
That was tighten up the gear linkage, tighten up the front subframe, get the exhaust connected up on the car, and I fired up the car to see if all was ok, I need sort a few things out, but its running ok, I need to sort the fuel gauge wires as one of the ends has snapped off
also I need a new brown sensor, as I think this one is acting the goat, its making the ecu put the mpi fan system on, so its not reading it properly. plus the engine isn't idling ok.
But the big thing was, it moved under its own power for the very 1st time!!!! D
red one looking very sorry now in the back ground.
I set about fitting my replacement rear slave cylinders and rear shoes. bolting up the rear anti role bar, so its half way there, we connected up the handbrake, but I need to sort the ****ing main wire! ( interior out by the looks of it!)
we suspected that the driver side cylinder has seized for some reason and caused the other one to fail. so both are on anyway a long with the new shoes.
That's about it photos wise, as we had a **** on with the handbrake.
I need to fit the rear U brackets on the rear cans so that shuts down the rear end of things, and I can start sorting more out of the front end wise and give the interior a clean.
also got the log book for the car, and its had 5 owners, and its a very early H plater so it is really a very early mk3 metro this one is,
24 years old this year! :o
