SilverDan Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Well heres the new project. Same car as the previous but with a manual box and I think its pirate black. (has a purple sparkle when the sun hits it). So a 1.6 sohc 1999 MB4. Its by far the dirtiest car ive ever bought. but with a bit of love itll be somewhere near decent. the outside isnt too bad aside from a dent in the rear quarter and a big scratch down the other side. Oh and a crack in the rear bumper. Inside was just grot and mould everywhere and the drivers window mechanism and seal is goosed ive managed to get it shut for now to keep the rain out but first I need to sort the MOT out. Fail list: horn not working wheel nuts missing poor handbrake efficiency offside handbrake not working (siezed caliper) ABS light on Advisories: battery insecure possible leak from top of fuel tank when full deterioration but not excessive to front brake lines deterioration but not excessive to both rear suspension bushes im sure there was something else but i cant find the sheet at the moment.

SilverDan Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Sorted all the fail list and secured the battery. Ive got a fuel tank and some good brake lines there, but Ive got a problem with a spongy brake pedal now and I cant get the bloody air out of the brake lines now. Im goin to have one more go at it with a different bleed sequence in the morning and if I still have no luck Im booked in for wednesday to have the system pressure bled. On the upside tho ive swapped all the interior over and its much cleaner inside now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
