Bought as a project in October this year. It had failed it MOT on a list of things, mainly brakes. In the end, this was the work I did on it.
Replaced main front to rear brake lines
New front brake hoses and pads
Replacement drivers side front calipers
Replacement, standard height rear beam with working brake compensator
Replacement rear calipers
New brake pipes on rear beam
New handbrake cables
Replacement engine from my other Rallye
Replacement radiator
Welding to chassis and sill on drivers side
New spare wheel cradle hook
New wiper blades and washer pump motor
A few new bulbs.
After a lot of work, it passed its MOT. Then the engines bottom end failed so the engine was replaced with the engine from my other Rallye.
Completely standard aside from a cone filter and the lowered front suspension. I have the standard spring and strut units to fit if I get time to do so. Drivers seat is worn.
Car drives very very well. Clutch isn't heavy, biting point relatively low, engine smooth and quiet. Body work is OK although it does need paint in places. Lacquer peel on the roof and tops of doors. Bonnet and front wings could do with paint as they've previously been painted poorly. However, its still relatively clean and I'll get some more pics once I've given it a good wash and polish.
