New car, woooo!
Not going to put this in the project section because i'm determined not to mod this one, for a while at least. She's in pretty good nick, tiny bit of chassis rust, but it's nothing for these cars really. All the electrics work, which is actually a bit disconcerting, except for the ns mirror, although - looking at the manual adjuster on the driver's side - i'm not sure that's entirely the fault of the car...
Had it a couple of days now, so building a list of problems to sort. Various little bits like new ns mirror, blower fan, washer jet, etc to find next time i head over the scrappy.
More importantly she's got a bit of a starting issue... (to anyone that knows my other cars, i know what your thinking and FYC.) Have to crank it over 10-15 times before she'll fire, pretty sure that's just a dodgy grenade though; if I pump the grenade it won't go hard but will start on the 3rd/4th crank. Don't know about XUD's yet so not sure, that sound plausible to anyone else..?
Other main issue is what sounds like an epic boost leak, doesn't pull as well as i'd expect so hoping that's easily solved with a bit of new piping.
Will try and remember to get some pics up, although she's no looker lol.
