g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted July 30, 2014 good luck :) what size are your wheels by the way? when i brought my old valver back a few months ago it had (& still has until the BBS's are ready) the same wheels as those i your pic. they are 17's on mine & even with the spacers the previous owner fitted they rub the inner wheel arch lining Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusty dan 10 Posted August 18, 2014 Little update on the car, after a collapsed lung the other week I managed to get back out and fix a couple of issues surrounding the MOT. front discs and pads replaced, rear fogs now working after a fuse swap and the headlamps were secured back in to place. Rear discs are next up with bearings and also a look at the ABS light being on. hoping a clean up of the sensors or replacement will sort that. Also picked up some MIM 15" alloys to replace the horrid rims she is running now! Couple of other niggles and she can get her ticket! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusty dan 10 Posted October 2, 2014 A little update.. MOT due next week with lots of work been done to get it there. Lights, lamps, brakes all round, bushes, links, tyres, emissions. Looking forward to having the ticket then off for paint work. respray on front and rear bumpers, passenger door and sill. Hopefully by Xmas I will have a sweet looking rado to play with as there is all the tidying to do inside and out!! Good times for Rusty I think!

rusty dan 10 Posted January 22, 2015 So today I have been having a little spruce up of the interior (first time since ownership) Really pleased with how well it cleaned! The TT Seats and in fact all the leather was treated to a clean and condition and essentially it is in mint condition.. One bug though is the door cards where they bow out at the top.. seen this is common about the rado's and would love to fix this.. Roll on Tuesday when the car is ready to show off its new coat!

Hairyarse 10 Posted January 22, 2015 Seats look comfy! :) Ref the door cards, would it be possible to resin/glue a thickish plastic strip to the back to hold the shape? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusty dan 10 Posted January 22, 2015 Seats look comfy! :) Ref the door cards, would it be possible to resin/glue a thickish plastic strip to the back to hold the shape? Exactly that hairy! I can see that being the only sort of solution for it. When I am in the paint shop I will look.. need to see where it might foul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
