Last update of the year. Car is all back together now. Spent ages ripping most of the interior looms out and replacing for good un-cut ones. This has cured a lot of the random problems I had. Abs system has almost completely been replaced too. Faults on that were main loom, fuse box to light loom, light itself, both rear sensors, water damaged ABS ECU, and I/O valves on the pump. Thought it was sorted, but after giving it a quick test spin the brake pedal position sensor is also duff. Luckily I bought one at a good price a few months back "just in case", so its being fitted just after Xmas when I next have a day spare. The pedal sensors are obsolete and like rocking horse sh!t so chuffed I managed to get one.
I also bought a "parts car", but in all honesty its too good to break. I've swapped out some of the good bits for my not so good bits, and I'll put it all back together, give it a full service, and do bits for MOT (new exhaust, ball joints, and number plates). I'll then flog it on I think. Its the Aqua blue one you can see in the background.
I'm off on my travels for 8 months in April, so wanted the car back on the road for a few months of fun before I go, once this ABS issue is sorted, its ready for MOT itself. Should be ready for the new year.
I gave it the first wash on Friday and sealed the paint with Collinite. I've got some Carpro Cquartz to go on, but I wanted to give it a quick going over with the machine using a finishing polish before applying. I'll do that early next year though. All exterior trim and wheels have been sealed using Carpro Dlux already though.
