Matts rallye project. operation derust

[Matt]

Hno longer green it's finally been cleaned!

Although it now shows all the scrapes, it's got a nasty one on the rear bumper, which definatley wasn't me. And someone has sprayed bianca paint directly on it with no prep with has run down the bumper. Think someone has hit it with a red car (evidence as red paint on bumper aswell) and then tried to cover it up. Which has happened at one of the 3 locations it's been at in the last 2 years!
So now on the hunt for a front and rear bumper for it


Update: had to change the brake switch today as the bloody thing was just staying on all the time!
Definatley never doing that again, ended up elbow deep in the dash. Right pita

Also tried adjust the exhaust as I have a massive blow between the cat and midsection but I can't get it right, will be buying some exhaust paste and sealing the fucker with it. That should do it.

Also ordered a new fan switch for the rad, as that is the reason they do not come on.
And need to get a new starter as mine is far too sticky.


And I noticed today that if I turn the dash on and wiggle the gearstick my lights go mental. I'm presuming it's the gearbox earth so will give that a clean and tighten when Its not pissing it down.


So list of things to be doing for the mot

New fan switch so I can get it to not overheat while it's being mot'd
Change front wishbones
Order and fit new rear discs (as mine disappeared either before or during the fronts getting fitted at pugperformace)
Rip out the rear seats again. Take all the scrap out
Attend to the rust underneath and hope it's just surface rust
Then mot


Plans for this is to get it road worthy, then sort out all the niggly bits I know of and any I might find so far I need to
Replace passenger window bits (clip doesn't hold window in/doesn't run smoothly)
New rear beam as I think it's cambering
Source new front and rear bumper
Fit black masks
Source a rallye interior (long term)
Fit the shocks and springs I have
Replace wingmirrors
Fit a new lift up reverse gearstick (or find a way of fitting a new collar)
Find a full set of interior trims(black b+c pillars +boot plastics)
Find a way of attacking mounts for doorcards again
Fit rallye doorcards
Sound deadening
New gear knob

Basically make this mint again
