good to have you onboard. You picked up some steelies last night with new tyres so at least that gets you some decent tread.
Plans for this with a limited budget are that... If it passes the MOT which it better do after paying 320 we are going to do a full service which we have budgeted £50 for. All of my red interior plastics can go in this instead of in the bin. Sportex race pipe can probably go on this instead of in the bin. Rocker cover is leaking and could do with a paint which i think i have a decent one lying around. Head unit is rubbish, speakers are stock. Its losing water somewhere but havent found out where yet. Might just be that nobody has filled it up for a long time. Low on PAS and brake fluid so needs topping up. Also has a weird fault with the dash where the fuel gauge bounces from max to min repeatedly. Doesnt affect how the car drives but very annoying.
Also having driven it there is something weird going on with the weird beam as its incredibly rolly. Not sure whats going on but will leave it to the MOT to say whether the beam is bad. Looks to be some camber going on but i dont know anything about 1.4 beams or how they should handle.
Done so far...
Filled up radiator
Fitted steelies with new tyres.
TO DO
Handbrake adjustment
MOT
Full Service - Sparks, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, sump plug washer.
Top Up Fluids - brake and PAS.
Fix dash fault.
Wrap Roof
Fit red interior plastics
Fit replacement front and rear bumpers.
Then really you should be doing a 40mm drop front and rear which is about £100 on the back and £60 for the front.
And some cyclones or wolfrace dragons. Then i think we are onto a good first car and you better pass your test!
