crispymk2 362 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Been super slack but the worsening mushy brake pedal means I will have to pull my finger out shortly and put some work in on tidying this up. Have given it a good detail and taken some photos though 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crispymk2 362 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 First breakdown last night. Snapped the clutch cable and with a few too many hills and stop lights between me and home I decided a free tow was the better option. Probably best considering the starter has been a bit iffy lately and the alternator exciter wire still isnt connected so needs to be revved to 5krpm before it will start charging... Had been running sweet till then. Been to a few car meets/shows and still using as a daily. Will be back on the road shortly! Beached! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
