:p Here we go, not that bad, alot of it was fixed prior to sale i think, it was ok when i was in it, just 3 weeks before

IT LIVES ! ! !

If if had the random drawn bonnet on the i would have known whos it was.

TBH I thought that was dead.

aha, nah i ent comin to the meet mate, wont be on the road by then!

took the front shocks off today, only to find lovely chopped springs all round lmao!

gna order new springs jus to get it through MOT then my mate in mid wales has got a full set of coilovers i can put on it.

springs ive got are for the rear, so will be lowered on the back by 30mm lol

ordered a new set of seat clips from main dealer today, that should stop my seat from rocking, and fix the problem that it dosent lock into place when u adjust it forward or backwards

also fixed the high idling on it =]

ripped the shitty ****ed automatic choke off, and adjusted the idle screw so its idling nice now, also sounds a lot healthier through the rev range!

also need to repair the door membrane, jus gna botch it up with silver gaffa tape

need to get a passenger side window seal tho!

also need to sort the tracking out, jus gotta adjust the track rod ends like, so the steerin wheel aint on the piss!

all i gotta do now is fit the new springs when i collect em, get the plastic bits for the seats on monday when they get delivered, and then it can go thru mot sometime next week?

mate if it aint pullin or wearin tyres jus take the steerin wheel off an put it back on straight. itd b a lot easier u jus need a 24mm socket an a short extension. diy tracking doesn't usualy work very well...

nah, i dnt think its chompin tyres, and it aint pullin, jus gna match the thread up best i can, then get it tracked at a garage, dnt rele wanna touch the steerin wheel tbh mate

as long as you tighten it back up you cant go wrong, its only on cars with airbags you dont realy wana be doin it that way

true, but if i get the wheel striaght, and the tackings out, then im fubared lol, i set the wheel straight today, and its jus one side tha needs adjusting, been told the bloke who owned it before me changed it himself??

might be summat to do with that?

haha who knows wot's been done to that car, all i did was change its pads tho! oh, an tighten the n/s/f hub nut coz it was hangin off lol

haha yeh, im gna check it all!

ill let u know how it all goes tho, jus finding out a price for a pair of springs from a lad on here, as i need a pair of fronts lol!
