Well here it is, made a bit of progress so thought I'd bung this up.
So bought it off of Fozz last year, looking like this:
In need of a little TLC, an MOT and a scrub up.
After having it for sale for a while, decided to get it ready and whack it in for an MOT. So got tyres swapped over to the Ouragans I bought form Matt, plugged a blow in the exhaust and went for it.
I anticipated it'd fail on brakes, so ordered them in advance. It did, but that was it!
Before the MOT it looked like this...:
This was a common sight before I changed the battery:
Then I cracked on with the brakes:
Pads were shot and fell apart as I removed them:
Fronts done.
Rears:
So after that, it sailed through! About 2 weeks ago. Then I got tonsillitis and couldn't do anything.
It passed the MOT with this exhaust fitted (!):
So fitted the Peco jobby above from Garlicbread.
This is how it stands:
Oh and while I was ill I bought myself (and the '6) a present to cheer myself up:
Oh yeah.
Plans if I keep it are;
Lows
Gunmetal the 'gans
Possible straight through centre section
Resonator bung
Other than that, it's nice and OEM and I like that. It's a really tidy car and goes really well.
Cheers for looking
