Re: newbie intro

Re: newbie intro

When I pull the dash clocks out I will get the VEM and have a look. I really hate bad elecctrics and bodgery so will be going through the car end to end. It is often the first task to pull out anything which isnt orginal and get the car back to factory spec. Other that the electrics I will replace t...

The one rusty front wing, odd that it is the drivers side and not the passenger side. Will be looking for a rust free wing to replace.

Re: newbie intro

Think the website didnt like me trying to post multiple photos, gave me a unauthorised message and seemed to lock me out.

First check is the fuses and try and see how the blower was bypassed. If I press A/C max should that come on fu...

Blinky the 480

I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me out with. The A/C doesn't seem to have much of a blast from the vents, if you press the buttons the air doesn't change just sort of comes out the floor and screen.

I was having trouble posting pictures last night. The rust is something which will need a bit of thought, having been there before once you start cutting you need to be prepared to deal with what lies beneath. I will look at this over the summer when I have sourced some 440/460 wings. Could do with ...

Re: Spotted for sale

Still no message back via the preloved site.

After 10 days I wonder if it is sold. :( I have sent the seller another message so hope to hear something.

You would think that a cared for example like this that the owner would be on the forum.
