  1. After many years of not owning an X, it looks like I'll be rejoining the faithful few. A 78 serie speciale was my first car about 18 years ago, and I've had a couple since then. I kept in touch with the guy who bought my last X and recently caught up with him. He agreed to sell me the green on e in the middle - but freight between our north and south islands pretty much doubles the price. Maybe it's a sentimental buy - but I wanted a serie speciale again, and a project - and it's definitely a project! Been sitting for at least 5yrs it's it's current location - and another 5yrs prior to that. So, its been a few weeks since I negotiated to buy the car, and we managed to pick it up over the weekend...it was a great 800km trip! We managed to get it running after a few hours, got the brakes and clutch bled, and away she went... The only issue (thus far), is that the battery light comes on and the battery doesn't get any charge. We spent about 4hours trouble-shooting the issue (power going in to the alternator, but not out), and took the alternator out, apart, and put it back in - with no success. Then we had an epiphany that we would try bypassing the voltage regulator, which worked and the battery gets full charge now. So a new voltage regulator is in order I feel. Anyway, she's parked up in the garage now - and I'm deciding what to tackle first. I need to stop the spread of any rust fairly quickly (although overall it looks not too bad), and then will probably move to getting the doors/windows adjusted so they open/close properly, then move on to some interior items to get the seats moving properly. I'm thinking I'll keep it running for now, and just tidy it up for a wof. Then slowly start stripping it back down for a proper restore... DISCUSSION THREAD:
