Well it's arrived and work has commenced:

Changed pads all round as they were looking pretty worn.

Fabsil'd the roof after a good clean, fabsil is great stuff, beading is great.

Engine wasn't getting out of the blue on temp gauge.  Thermostat changed solved this.

New exhaust ( direct from Germany )

New wheel badges

rear brake light bulb

New oem gear knob

Sorted a couple of leaks at rear window and window areas, car now lovely and water tight, no misting up come morning with condensation, very happy with those fixes.

New bushes for seat-base ( common fault ).

New track rod end inner and outer £12 each side [emoji1]

New brake line ran at rear near side, cheap fix as it is jointed from new so only a small run.



And thats it so far, next job, liquid leather kit to re colour whole seats in dark tan, then a good paint correction.

Mate had one with a custom exhaust and sports cat
Made some lovely pops and bangs

fitted a set of mud flaps today, mainly to hide the only bit of rust on this 20 year old car!

Think they look great for £10, treated rust underneath, covered in silicone then fitted these.

Do the mudflaps use double sided tape at all?

no, just fixed on the inner arch liner, how come?
