The engine bay could use a once over.
Other than that, it looks very tidy.
I hope it is reliable for you.

hey guys,

th engine bay is one of the things i plan on cleaning up. mainly replacing old worn parts and cleaning it, going to remove rocker cover and get it painted maybe sandblasted first. she is off to the mechanics in a couple of days for a check up and maybe sort out the carby problem other then that its looking heaps better then when i got it.

the sunroof is aftermarket and they guys before me did a rush job and leaks under the sealant they used, so this is being scraped offf and replace with some good weather proof stuff.

other general items to be done are:

- seat covers (untill i can afford to get recovered)
- a good vacuum
- carpet and underlay in the back
- stereo eventually
- colour the door cards black

other then that i hope for my sake that she is reliable as well lol
