Thought that i would go and do some work on the 7 today as it was a nice day and she has been neglected over the winter  
So i drained the fuel out of her as its been in ther for over a year

I dont think thats very good is it that came out of the filter
Then cleand up the plugs toped up her water and checked oil put in a battery Cleaned and painted the battery tray and sorted a couple of bits of rust under the bonnet
Put new fuel in then turned the key hoping for her to fire into live but alas nuthing just turned over and over so checked got spark got fuel no grate so i now need a fuel pump

Went down to reading an picked up another 12a
new engine after cleaning

after more cleaning and a bit of painting  



still got to polish the housings and paint a bit more
then need a new carb to get her running again but not a webber just yet as buying a house so ment to be saving money not wasting as kelly keeps saying

[mooragerx7]

why is it when you do a bit more work on a car more work rears its ulgy head  



then i went to investergate why my front windowscreen had cracked not my best move whats the age old saying out of sight out of mind

I\'m so glad I had mine waxoyled when I got it, and stored it in the garage for last 11 years.
   Good luck with the rest of your rebuild I\'m sure it will all be worth while

all it know about the body kit is that it is a kuwi kit dont know anything more than that and thats because its got kuwi stamped on it

You certainly done some serious work there, the car is a credit to you.
By the way does this look familiar?
 

 
Its on my series 3 but the small wheel just makes the steering heavier.

i know about the steering being heavier its on there so the misses wont drive it :rollin because shes says it was too heavy with the standed wheel on it

Strange how they didn\'t make RHD cars with PAS.
I\'ve only ever seen left hookers with PAS and it\'s not interchangable.
Back in the day no one was used to cars with power steering but these days, most cars have it and people don\'t want to be without it.

It\'s amazing how good fb\'s are at hiding rust!:eek:
The 1st pics show a clean looking fb,the later pics the rust thats been found & sorted,all credit to you for sticking at it,most peeps would of given up & broken it for spares.
Ta Stu..

I think it has a lot to do with tyres.
I use a 1988 B2200 pick up, this hasn\'t got power steering and was probably ok when it came out the factory.
However having fitted Mitsubishi Warrior alloys with wider tyres it\'s an absolute nightmare to park.
I\'ve been looking for a power steering rack before my arms give out.
