Thats about all the things I can think of. Now onto the bad list...
Paint cracked as usual, speedo has been checked and cable oiled but is working intermittently, last time i checked direct replacement was available
from ETB who made the current one, cost under 100 pounds, shouldnt be too hard to swap them over, I just havent got time any more.
Alternator not performing 100%, I not had any problems with the battery dying, but can't hurt to get a recon one, theyre not expensive.
And the biggy...the rear diff is showing signs of wear and tear and needs replacement before any 'heavy' use (trackdays) but should be on
the list of things to change anyway. I have the details for a local firm who will collect, source, fit and return the car if necessary, or they will
just fit it for you, or you do it yourself, not the biggest of jobs if its a like for like swap, just need the right equipment
And ill throw in the car cover I just got as I don't really need it once shes gone!
I suspect i've forgotten something so if you want to know anything just ask!
Oh and its a standard ford 4 speed gearbox and got a side exhaust. and I still cant figure out how to post photos so email me if you want them ok?
Thanks for looking
Alex
