dunno what im gonna do with this one
get it road worthy wil be a start
short list.
change gearbox. > making rattly noises from end casing.
replace fron brakes> bit poo
replace rear cylinders and bleed > shot and no fluid
light service on car.
find a set of legal, wheels and tyres
fit a exhaust system
get ready for mot
first up, bleeding the brakes
one problem
rear nipples are chocolate and twisted off :!
so
brakes were then bled, and front disks and pads aren't the best, also unsiezed the rear brake load compensator.
and after trial and error with 3 cats, 2 exhaust systems, the sportex ended up on the car.
after fixing the manifold as the thread had gone,
itll need its mount adjusting as it isnt sitting right
