went to see the car on sunday get some jobs finished off ready for the MOT. Started by putting the headlights and sidelights back in also fitting the indicator lights. All tested and working fine, different bulbs in each headlight though luckily i have spare bulbs anyway
Fitted some of the rear plastics back in and tried to fit the spoon mirrors, as suspected the holes dont line up so will have to cut some new holes to get them to fit. My dad also took a look at the front brakes as they are sticking.
Actually got to drive it for the first time goes into all gears and no smoking which was a great concern gets up to temperature fine. Seems to have a strange idle and the clutch is incredibly difficult always wanting to stall. I have never driven a car with a new clutch though so may well be that.
Heres a few pictures of her, the gray patches on the Js lip are cracks in my geniune lip
going to have to get a repair quote iv already had a quote of endless horizion for a new lip, not cheap!
Dont worry i have new plates to replace that gastly rear one!
I was going to fit the rear seats but having another look at the leg room i think ill try making a fake boot floor to tidy it up a bit as im not a fan of the stripped look.
A full respray is definitely on the cards in the next few months, i originally planned to drop a H series into the car but morf is no longer making his kit and i dont want to run a raised bonnet. I have been looking into the bisimoto kit but not that much info online and its still quite expensive.
Got to have a think about engine options, K or H as the prices are getting closer to each other still very temped by the H though.
Should be MOT'ed and tax for the first of february. cant bloody wait!
