install a stereo
replace battery
dent in bonnet
engine covers
rewire passenger wing mirror as someone hacked it apart
replace throttle cable

try and locate arch liners
try and locate original wheels
So far todat i have:
replaced battery
got the rad fan working
fitted all the engine covers
checked the rear mount
removed amplifier wiring
replaced throttle cable
and replaced the rocker cover and gasket.
ive taken pictures but cant upload them due to laptop being buggered! |
