When I came back in last night I built the front brakes back up so that's now new discs and pads.
There's not many people would have done all this work Pete, nice one...like trigger's broom this car now

Had a hour today and got all the front end mechanical work done bar the seals in steering rack I striped the front suspension to fine the knocking and it was down to the left strut top bolt being loose.
Hopefully on Tues I can sort the rear brakes and adjust the hand brake and also a set of new rear shocks then all that's left is underseal.
exellent

Looking forward to seeing them on it

Glad this has been rescued.
Jay offered it me at one point, and to be honest I'm glad I didn't take it on, but only because I wouldn't have been able to lavish it with the attention that you have Pete.
Top work that man, many would have considered it too far gone and broken it.

Woooooooooooooooow!

Fuel line bodge job yes but defo not the dash lights. Too think that I had my daughter in this car thinking she was safe has stunned me!!!

Good to see another one being saved mate, as you say most would have scrapped it, but some have to be saved. We've done the same with the V70R, we bought it knowing it needed work, but probably weren't aware how much, it's since had a replacement auto box, new rad, new front wishbones, new track rod end, new heater matrix, new cam seals, new ignition system etc. It was worth saving though, just a shame we'll be selling it soon.
