Ghost Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Not very good at finishing projects, thought I better take it for a quick drive today though.. Still to do: Fix RH Rear camber issue Wheel alignment Get wipers working (amazing British Leyland era Lucas cable wiper system and it appears they built the car around it) Sort out carb tune Repair broken trim Then it should be time to try and get a WOF! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Finally got around to taking it through a WOF, passed everything except the rear drum brakes - imbalanced. Upon further inspection we found that the only shoe that was working (cylinder half seized) was attempting to grip onto oil covered drums (the grip coming from the dried up oil I guess). It's times like these when you realise you are working on a incredibly rare car, made of parts from another car that was produced in a country that no longer exists.. Thankfully it is a pretty basic system, parts are on the way so should finally get a WOF in a week or so! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Parts delayed (typical shipping companies), thankfully Vic from skodaparts.co.nz personally dropped them off for me earlier in the week. New brakes in, pass! The only thing I didn't fix was the weather forecast for the Ellerslie car show tomorrow.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ghost Posted February 13, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2019 They gave me another WOF, can't believe it has been a year since the last one already. Still plenty of things to fix though, too many cars and too little time.. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
