little tidy up job
bought this today
used to be a bunus then it was 3i now it rs turbo
clean old shell, no real rust on it, few scabs popping up but im keeping away from that stuff
jobs to do
replace loom (got 1 with a cat 1 ready to go )
rs carpet and other trims
mint up the seats
replace suspension (most of its loose or finger tight )
fit ecu's up
tidy the bay up
get some propper lamps
find a better silver boot
mot her up
wont take a great deal to mot once the looms done, at the moment it does alsorts of strange things and very little works
got it started to check it over and the guy haddnt refitted the oil return so we covered his grans drive in oil
seems to run very well tho with its mongoose pipe and bits here and there, hopefully its chipped too
going to have fun sorting the sheared off seat bolt stubs from the floors
will make a nice thrash about/track/cheap insurance car for some1 when done
1st jobs done, do away with that rope bonnet pull and fitted a decent 1

getting some jobs done
interior is all out showing 2 bits needing weld, on inner sills, never would have failed an mot on, its well hidden, but ill sort it, neither touch the outer sills
and the seat mount has a snapped bolt so will sort that out
old looms half out
floors are very clean
too much rain to get much more done

im loving the welding, ok so its not new floors and inners but were not talkin classic car here so its being kept sensible
nothing the mot man would have noticed as it didnt show from the underside but i like welding so found as much as i could
the seat mount was a bitch as it had been welded from the underside before but was well knackered above and had a sheared bolt but i cut the same parts from the rs im breaking, drilled the spots so i only welded in the reataining/strenthening section, could put some really fat people in the drivers seat now
just the rear sills next, they could scrape an mot but ill just sort it
everywherre else is mint, rear chassis rails are perfect
