Here's my Sapphire blue Toledo and a few shots of what iv done since i bought her..
All of the road wheels have been stripped and repainted (as the car isnt kept at my home i took one home each night to work on)
Front suspension top and bottom ball joints (some of which were looking just slightly tired!) were replaced with brand new ones.
here are the old ones once off the car..
and the new ones fitted..
I was also lucky enough to get hold of some brand new old stock brake drums for the front as the old ones were very pitted.. still in their original boxes and grease coating!
Under the bonnet, heres a little list:
Oil and filter renewed
air filter renewed
valve clearances adjusted
plug gaps adjusted
fuel filter cleaned out
rocker arm and valve springs cleaned up
carb float chamber cleaned out
fuse box connections and earths all cleaned up
rocker cover removed, stripped and resprayed plus new rocker gasket.
Iv taken a week off work to give the bodywork some attention, so far i haven got past the drivers sill!
all the rotten metal cut out... (new sill above it)
all the good metal thats left, ready to be cleaned up and reconstructed..
