This is the start of project Betsy.
I've been going on about Betsy for about 3 months now, but if you don't know heres how I aquired her...
I bought a Peugeot 406 1.9TD and called it Bernard. It was French and crap, my parents were fed up of spending out on it and give me Betsy which was my Mums old car and there trading Bernard in for a new car for my Mum.
This is how I was given the car...
I got the mats etc out and started hoovering and noticed there was choclate on the carpet in the back
Let some apholstory cleaner do it's magic...
This was the interior finished...
Exterior...
Bottom soaked in cirus degreaser...
While I was waiting for that to soak in I noticed something very strange...
Now that spoiler on the wiper is supposed to keep the wiper pressed against the windscreen at speed
So I decided to fit it the right way round :blink:
Then I went to find out if the windscren wipers were ok this way up and there was no screen wash
The wingmirror needs replacing an is held on with Gaffatape...
So tidied that up a little bit...
And thats it for today...
Right issues I've found so far...
1)
2)Warped Brakediscs
Just ordered brakepads and discs
3)Front suspension knock?
Hope it's a droplink, got a funny feeling the warped brakediscs have ****ed a CV joint, worse case scenario, ball joint?
4)Steering wheel ripping out of my hand if I try change gear when accelerating hard and turning at the same time? Normal?
5) High speed steering shake?
Wheels out of balence? Nackered CV joint? Warped Brakediscs?
