3.0si 133k, full service history and 2 keys
Delivered today and first impressions are that the project name is very apt. It’s 99% complete with only a few things missing:
Carpets
Boot carpets
Aircon rad and pipes
A few other small bits
Bits it’s all in bits! Only panels on are the bonnet and doors which need re hanging.
Panels are all great and rust free. A slight ding in the door is repairable. I thought the bonnet was needing lacquer but it turns out it was just very very dirty.
The car has a great spec list- Bluetooth, xenons, nav, cruise etc and heated m sport two colour seats with dash to match.
I need to shift the wheels as I don’t think they suit it- 108s or csl
In the boxes of stuff the brakes have yellow stuff pads and drilled discs. A power flow exhaust is ready to be reattached.
The roof looks in good order.
So the plan is:
1. Sort bolts
2. Exhaust on
3. Roof on and watertight
4. Front end on
5. Panels on
6. Interior including airbags
7. Engine recommission
8. Brakes and suspension recommission inc handbrake and bleed
9. Electrical sort
10. Test
11. Wheels swap
12. Mot
13. Clean
I’ve got a feeling that there are going to be a raft of electrical issues when it’s all plugged in. The engine turns by hand but I’ll give it a good clean and service first before firing it up.
I spent this afternoon sorting the bolts which were all in bags and boxes- very handy.
A few pics to follow. But I’m looking forward to this challenge. Will keep the thread updated!
