Well I have been on the look out and finally found something I felt I could work on. I came across this car on Donedeal in October 2021
Originally from Germany the one previous owner emigrated to South Africa before returning back to Germany. I think it has being lying in a barn of the last number of years.
some before pictures
first up a good wash
then a fuel basic service
The fuel tank was shocking so I actually sent it off to get a new one fitted along with a new timing belt, this is the only work not done by me.
The dash needed is service interval batteries changed and a couple of damages resistors
The car was still running rough so I changed out the fuel pump, air flow meter and cleaned the injectors
cleaned injectors with new pintails and o rings
Car was still running rough so I did the coil, distributor cap and rotor and leads. As you can see they were in a shocking condition and WOW what a difference the car now runs as good as the day it came out if the factory.
next up sort out the rear brakes slight imbalance, cylinders, drums shoes and springs done.
next up swap out the cracked dash and wire for the radio (there was never one in the car)
fogs installed
Currently colour coding the bumpers and wing mirrors, and I want to get the front seats reupholstered (any tips I will get this done by a pro)
