So sorted a few things out on the car over the past week, a leak at the master cylinder (changed the seals, but ended up being a split broken plastic elbow! doh.). Undersealed the car which took a fair amount of cans of Tetra Schutz! Discovered I was missing a leaf spring bump stop at the front, need to get that sorted ASAP. Received many a new part from Germany and Poland and now all I need is a battery clamp and waiting on one more rubber (Debica Vivo's from Seicento space savers) to arrive then MOT is due. Sorted out my reverse and fog lights, nice new air filter, treated her to some coolant now its leak proofed, new interior light lens and more but I've forgotten for now. lol.
This evening I decided to start on T-cutting the car with help of a friend and my dad, we gave up fairly quickly and will continue tomorrow properly! Amazing difference though really
.
Some pictures to follow anyway, and a few part numbers to keep in mind for the future for personal reference!
I wrote most of this ^^ this morning... the other seicento space saver turned up... seems I have two varities of debica vivo's in the same model (but slightly different manufacturer logo molding) but all pretty much brand new. All but one have the center tread pips in place and the one that doesn't looks like it might have been used once if not just rolled along the floor! The rims though, they were interesting, one of the seicento space savers appears to have had a factory welded spacer :S. Perhaps from a sporting or something and required higher offset? Seems a dodgy method of spacing a wheel out though and not sure it would be legal but maybe OK for a space saver spare lol. Managed to get me a full set of practically new tyres for £70 quid so not bad
.
Ordered my leaf spring rubber tops so they'll be here shortly.
So... as I was saying... pictures!
Missing a "Door stay" from here:
Some pictures from when the gearbox/engine were off (the seicento alloys came in useful in the end):
Small pile of goodies that arrived:
Master Cylinder plastic problem (are replacements even available? Had to get creative and plastic weld this one up) and old seals:
Headlining clips (Need two more of these if anyone has any lying around!):
All wheels off ready for bleeding and undersealing:
Some underseal shots (Still need to touch up a few bits here and there where the jack was and theres a couple of dry spots on these pics which were blasted after!) 2 new cans and half an old one later:
Nice new tyre:
One nice new air filter:
And the T-cut:
Few part numbers that may prove useful in the future:
Conrod Shells:
Carburettor repair kit:
Air filter box:
I noticed on a recent test drive that the speedo is all over the place... wondering if I didn't put the cable back in the gearbox properly...
