Today was the day for sorting the shed and garage out so that I know what I have and what I have not.
The first job was to roll the car out onto the drive, jack it up, have a look underneath and in the light of day give it the once over. So, the conclusions are - still impressed with the body, found one slight bubble on the bottom corner of one of the doors which will need sorting, that's it ! Once jacked up, the shocks were wound up a bit so that I can get the jack underneath. I also found that I think I need new track rod ends, no big deal but another thing to add to the list.
Once the Garage and Shed were almost tidy it was time to decant and catalog the five boxes of bits that came with the car. I shalln't bore you with a list of every nut and bolt but here are the omissions - no biggies but will all need sourcing in slow time I suspect -
Wiper motor, gearbox rear mount, door/boot locks, front window and a couple of badges.
So pretty good all in all.
Next job is to identify what the front uprights are so I can spec the brakes properly. That will be more ebay scouring then.
