-We also had to fix the back of the roof as it was very rusted and cost us the WOF.

-We also renewed the jackpoints. At some point in the car's life someone had put the jack in the wrong place and broken the jackpoints, and they were very rusted. No before pic.

Hi everyone.
Just updating my dad's thread, since he never bothered to. Here's what we've done to the car since we've bought it:
- We fixed the brakes. The brakes were rusted badly. We had the brake discs grinded and we put in all new brake lines. The master cylinder has also been redone.
I read in the rules to put 5-6 images per post to speed up loading so more pics in the next post.

Name: Quinn
Location: Hawkes' Bay
Cars I own: 1970 Simca 1501s Station Wagon.
Mods to it: Not much really. My dad put in an electric ignition but it broke, and we swapped out the cigarette lighter thing for a shorter one because we couldn't charge our phones.
Link to pics: This is an old album, I will make a build thread later
How I found out about oldschool: My dad made a post here about my car in 2011-ish but never updated it.

More recently nothing much has happened. Dad opened up the transmission and fixed the sticking clutch about half a year ago. Right now the car is road legal but sits in the garage and we only really drive it to shows. I bought some new wing mirrors from ebay and we put them on last week. I also bought some new hubcaps but don't have any good pics. The next thing on the list will be to replace the speedo that has miles on it with the speedo that has kilometres on it that I got from Holland. Tomorrow I'll take the car outside for some updated pictures.
Cheers.
