Right, the Valver is coming off the Raod in 12 days if not sold beforehand
All work i am doing is for improvement / long term survival
Waxoyl / Underseal - Doors - Underside, bumpers off etc etc
Clean, protect brake n fuel lines
Suspension Off, new wheel bearings.
Interior out, check for rust inside etc
and a few other things I have forgotten :laugh:
S wot else would you do ?????
-
get it on axel stands if its sitting around in one spot for long? (flat spots in tyres)
-
Clean and polish the engine bay. :nerd:
Paint the block bling gold colour of your choice :wink:
Clean off and paint brake callipers.
New sound proofing while you've got the interior out. ( I really want to do this so my car ain't so freaking noisy on the m'way)
Sort out the water and oil leaks, also stopping it from running like a bad of nails would also be a good start. :grin: :lipsrsealed:
-
Check to see if anything needs welding before you Waxoyl anything! waxoyl burns really well :evil: Just another thing to add to the list...

Few ideas...
1) Change gearbox oil
2) Full brake fluid flush
3) Power steering fluid flush
4) Replace all your vac hoses (I've just done this and it costs literally a quid)
5) Paint your radiator cowl
6) Touch up any stone chips
7) New fuel filter
-
Does your cooling system need flushing?
-
