My D reg ReSToration
Hi there im a month old to pf , i purchased my erst last year in august and havent regreted it since . when the winter fell it came with a big bang and the rs had some tough times trying to start from -13degrees. so i brought a little run around for the winter and had to put a cover over him for the remaining months.when january came and tax was going to run out , i thought to myself this could be a worth while project so i sorned it . since then ive been buying bits and bobs. i work 70+ hours a week (6days out of 7) so im afraid this progress is guna be slow!
i rang my private mechanic up to fit me in for a weeks work so in that week im aiming for
:engine bay restoration
:degrease the engine and clean it up
:new bonnet and tailgate to be fitted and sprayed
:new clutch and time belt and tensioners to be fitted with water pump and oil pump
:strip wax oil from underneath the car to see what hidden critters(rust+rot) there is.
:fix the electrics as there is a slight problem
here are some pictures of the rs
hope you like fellas
