gettinroundtuit Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Here it is, latest addition-owned it a week, the most money i've EVER spent buying a car. Why? cos i'm an idiot & was looking for something old school & tidy that didn't need rebuilt......... & the avenger's getting tattier AND I STILL CAN'T FIND THE BLOODY CRANK WE NEED FOR IT'S NEW MOTOR!!!!!!! Crap picture, take more tomorrow- the others are too big to upload. Anyway, it's the budget model- 1300 automatic, it's straight outside & really tidy inside, now the tyres have been pumped up it's a little less pathetic to steer. That about covers the good bits (cept the auto bit) The work that needs doing; sort engine over heating had a new w.o.f when i got it - tail lights dont work! service the autobox- oils black & sluggish gear changes surely theres more power in there somewhere, it'll crack 100kph JUST!!!!. can't see it handling a club run in the country yet looks like exhaust needs a bit of sorting too Theres no plans to modify it much at all ( unless i can't live with the slushbox then i'll get a manual for it). Theres been some talk of engine swops, but the avenger's gunna supply the horsepower fix & handling wise it's the better car of the 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettinroundtuit Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Tonight's job, rip out seats & added some underfelt to help deaden the noise- Only have to do the back half, look at redoing the front half if/when i get new carpets for it. Should make it quieter for the Chatto creek run Floors are pretty good overall, but i've found a few daggy bits that'll need attending to soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettinroundtuit Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The 'apprentice' changing the thermostat- & forgetting the 1st thing i told her- tie the hair back!!! ( she thinks she's fixing her dream car i will sell to her when she finds a job ) still runs a little warmer than i like, found out swaybar bushes get tired & the bar moves sideways letting a wheel move back, might look for some collars to lock it in place, & new bushes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
