right so finally it round to investigating the passenger drain plugs and at last I found some rust on this car! I was getting worried I'd missed some  :grin:



rear footwell is ok. gonna grind off the crap and treat.

replaced alternator pulley too, seems to have stopped the 'schlirp schlirp' sound, there's still a slight whistle from the engine. think it's the air intake somewhere.



and a cheeky shot of my new ride! went out for 15 mins the other night and I'm still knackered. gotta get into it again

ha well we've never been in the same room so we could actually be the same person. It's like fight club all over again!
