Of course what our Issy has not posted up is all the Mechanical Work.............
It was a right dog to work on, every nut and bolt was rusted on, the brake pipes and cylinders and master/slave cylinders were shagged, drums and driveshafts and discs and backing plates, ditto, the underside was locally blasted off and re-sealed, engine dropped, new clutch, exhaust and header (Plumbing nightmare), anti roll bar and drag links and all bushes renewed, 60mm springs and new shocks all round, new cables etc...........oh and did I forget to mention the rock n roll bed made from two!!!!.....now that was a job and a half.
If you think the body kit and bumpers look nice you should try fitting them.......5 day job, believe me, then the new CD player and uprated speakers that kept shorting out and the fitting of the alarm, immobiliser and tracker, 100 watt halogen and relay kit (Protect the Loom at all cost), all time, time, time.
I did I also mention the 3 days to polish it all up Must say though it runs as sweet as a nut.
Will post up some pics of the Mechanicals when it rains
