While the engine and gearbox is out and being rebuilt lots of other jobs that have been annoying me over the last while have jumped to the head of the que. I've been putting off doing these but no more it's the perfect excuse to tackle these issues while Im getting the engine sorted..
These range from full headlight refurb, dented t panel, panel alignment at front especially on drivers wing to bonnet, interior soundproofing, new door headliner, steering wheel recovering, facia repainting, and so on. (I have a list to properly keep tabs :idea:
Nothing else to do but dive right in! It's scary but it's gotta get done one way or another
Hopefully I'll get to Learn alot about how the car is put together to
