ok so drove the car for the first time over the chrismas break and to be honest its abit of a pig at the min

Jobs to do from memory

Find a new tailgate
Sort wipers as they wont park without having a jerky spazim
Bad earth on the headlights
Engine breathing real heavy (think this may be a typical cvh problem tho)
Got a really bad cold start problem asin it will flatten the battery before it fires – doesn’t do this when sitting in the garage which is odd
Generally runs abit poo (getting it setup and rolling roaded will fix this I hope
Find out why it will only boost to 5psi
Fix the steering column as all the bushes seem busted
Replace both electric window motors or recon them or rewire the whole lot to make sure the loom isn’t at fault, (apparently a common problem)
Fix the door cards and the rear seat base
Rewire the rest of the car to make sure all the bits and pieces work as they should
Remove the front abs system as its pants
convert to mk3 mondeo front calipers and st170 discs
Sort the rear brakes as they don’t work atall, going to convert to 2wd cossie rear disc and re plumb the sytem so i can run a bias valve for the rear
Only a little list

some new pics
