thanks guys like i said theres alot of research needing doing with this project.
ill keep plodding forward and keep y'all posted.
as a kind of bonus i thought i would give y'all a bit of history on the car.
she was bought from a scrapyard for a lowly £300
she was an mot failure and heres the list she failed on.
rear registration plate lamp bulb not working (replaced the bulb still not working , nothings ever easy is it)
nearside rear brake pipe inadequately supported (needs a spot weld)
brake hydraulic resevior fluid level below minimum level (done and done)
parking brake lever has no reserve travel (on the list)
nearside front shock absorber has negligible damping effect
nearside front shock absorber has serious fluid leak (bot another shock from same scrappy not fitted yet)
offside rear (to inner sill) subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (more welding)
offside front (to floor) subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (more welding)
nearside front (tie rod area) steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) (dont know about this one but im hopeing that it has something to do with there being 3 wheels with a 60 profile and one of the front wheels having a 65 profile) (he prays
).
a bit about me and my skills.
im 43 years old medically retired (sounds good dunnit) with asperger syndrome, live in an oap complex in wales, hobbies are puters games and lately thinking i can be the next chip foose (yeah right)
about my skills, well basically they dont exist lol but i learn fast when it matters and i got nothing to lose by trying to do this right!?.
