The list of work to be done is as follows:
It had a cold starting problem. This has now been fixed with a new fuel pump relay as the old one did not prime. Also No.1 injector had a loose union connection resulting in a loss of fuel pressure and lumpy running.
I have also due to age 22 years and miles 61k replaced all four injectors with new units. The result has transformed the way it starts, drives and idles. It now fires instantly.
A full service with all filters replaced.
Next, the b-pillar vinyl. The driver’s side had cracked so I bought new and have replaced the drivers side but I am waiting to do the passenger side until I have had the passenger door replaced and painted. It is going back due to the first paint being a shade out. The original paint is now obsolete.
I have now refurbished the GTX Badges.
I have replaced the electric window switches which were not standard. They were in the centre console near the gear lever. They are now in the doors with the correct wiring loom complete with automatic fuse and relay.
I had the windscreen replaced through my insurance due to a water leak. I had all the interior out. Replaced the seals on the rear boot lock and blower fan in the scuttle tray. Also replaced the door weather shields inside behind the door cards.
Still to do:
New rear wheel bearings.
All four shocks with original bilstein and new strut top mounts. They are here, just waiting to be installed.
While I have the shocks off I plan to remove the wheels arch liners. Scrub the arches before applying black waxoil to them and the under side of the floor plan. I will be dropping the rear arm off to paint the fuel tank. I can then waxoil the floor pan between the tank before refitting it. This is for piece of mind.
While the rear arm is off, this will be bead blasted and powder coated along with the anti-roll bar. New bushes all round.
G60 brake conversion with Servo and Master cylinder. Rears will be standard but stripped painted and rebuilt.
Then the pretty bits
BBS RA 15” or Ronal LS not sure
Clear front Indies. (if I can find any without buying new at £120 a pair)
Thinking about losing the front fogs They are in perfect condition with no rust or cracks should any one want them if I do.
More to follow…..Looking forward to summer
