View from my office window

Home

Immediate jobs needing to be done;

Both seat belts not retracting. Sorted now. The cables had jumped out of their runners.

Knocking from the front. Probably ball joints or track rod ends or something.

Scratches around the body.

New front badge.

Replce the grill on the bumper.

New front indicators

Replace the dash with a Rhodium one

Sort the tailgate strut. The support has burst somehow. A wee welding job to secure it back into place then spray paint.

New leather interior needed in time.

Service including new plugs.

Polish the headlights.

Coolant drain and refill.

Change the belts.

Replace the mirrors with chrome scullcaps.

Im sure I'll find more as time goes on.

Looks very nice, the chrome skullcaps will be a nice touch.
Not to sure the little dog is keen lol.

I was supposed to go to Edinburgh after work to collect it but the seller used the car to come to a car auction in Glasgow today so I popped up to collect it from him at lunchtime
