Hello all,
Had a fair few problems trying to get compressed pictures on here. Hence the 6 month delay. Car is finally ready for the road and taxed, mot'd and insured.
Work carried out since I purchased the car in November has been the following:
Brake pipes replaced.
Coolant pipes replaced.
Serviced.
Heater snorkel upgrade.
Boot lid loom repaired.
Steering wheel redyed due to wear and tear.
Replaced cd player with OEM one.
New wiper blades.
Brake discs stripped and cleaned.
EPAS reset.
Carpets stripped out and pressure washed.
All interior metal sanded and waxoyled.
Underneath scrubbed and waxoyled.
Hydragas pumped up with help from a very kind MGF register member.
New rear reg plate.
Lots of 'pointless' stuff done including a bloody good clean, clayed and waxed.
Roof scrubbed and re water proofed.
Seats scrubbed and cleaned.
New tax disc holder.
New flip key mod.
Rear plastic screen refurbed with plastic restorer.
Aux socket added to centre consul.
It's been a long haul, but well worth it. It failed the MOT first time round with only minor faults but passed eventually.
Needs new tyres all round now really. They are legal but a bit scrubbed from the out of kilter EPAS fault.
Most importantly-wouldn't have achieved half of the stuff I've done without help from the wonderful folks on here. So a sincere thanks to all those who've shown me encouragement and given lots of helpful advice.
