Picked up this around a month a go. after an epic trip to get it i took it away knowing it needed a polish to get it white again and a wheel bearing doing but other than that looked tidy.
after owning it for a week it developed a pretty serious oil leak. turned out to be a leaking crank seal and rear cam carrier so included a beware cam belt and waterpump kit.
Then a few days later the battery completely died. checked for loose wires and made sure the alternator was still going strong. from what i could gather it was just a fubar'd battery. since then its been faultless and I've hopefully sorted out the things that needed doing.
First big change was kicked off this morning
removed the god awful chequer plate and the bucket seats as i am after a standard car. i was left with this, needs a good clean but i am chuffed!
next job is rear beam. will prob go for a refurbed one instead of rebuilding mine. before i do that i need to decide on ride height. this is third 6/rallye i have had and this is the first one i have experienced with suspension and i have been blown away with the comfort and handling. lowering will just be for looks really as ride wise its perfect.
Also want to loose the cyclones as i hate having unbalanced wheels
