Goat Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It looks mint. Super mint. What caused tow truck? Also, Quad headlight conversion STAT. I'm talking ASAP. (unless the current front is your cup of tea...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 i actually prefer the front end that has the popped out square lights with the weirder grill that seems to be on all the iranian spec ones. This one will do for now though. THe pics do hide a lot of imperfection really. the roof paint is quite faded with a few specs of rust showing. the paint is definitely 40+ years old. Has a pretty cool history though. same old lady in chch owned it for 34 years. Think it was used as a lease car for 2 years before her, and then it went to a guy that lives round the corner from me, and now i have it. love cars with history. My dad is all giddy over it cos he used to have one (i'm pretty sure everyones dad has had one, right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Glad it was easy fix. I was in a second hand shop today and spotted ahaynes manual so scoped out the clutch section and was going to suggest checking the circlips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's weird, other manual cars I've owned have had a stopper on a thread that you could wind in and out to adjust where the clutch pedal stopped. I had assumed this car would have a similar thing, but apparently not. Just the circlip that stops it. So i might have to craft something to stop it being banged out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
