its been a while since my last post, heating at home packed up so been saving for a new boiler and heating system so car has taken a back-seat plus I have now run out of room in my garage, might have to rent another garage.

I have a week off coming up, so hope to clear the garage up and poss do a bit more on the old rust bucket.

Popping up to frosties on Tuesday to collect my front panel, should get the engine and box out as well next week, then hope to get a A-Frame spit to work on the under-side.

Thats it for now

It's been a long time since I up dated my own thread.
I must admit I lost all interest in the RS over the winter, cold dark garage with no power or heating does that to you plus had other stuff going on so I even thought about just selling up

Glad I just shut the garage door and walked away, advice to all those who think about selling, just walk away from it and go back in a few weeks or months time

Any how, been to the money pit today.
Went to pull it out of the garage and the bloody rear brakes had seized on and that was with the hand-brake off as well
Managed to dragged the car out and just removed all the drums so now the old beastie has no brakes at all so easy to push/pull in and out of the garage

Set about taking the glass out, never done this before and had visions of my windows turning into very very tiny bits of glass

I only took out the rear window and two rear-side windows and was please there was no rust only a little bit of surface stuff that will rub off, looks like a previous owner had coated everything in waxoil so this has helped stop the dreaded tin worm.
Took a few pics to remind me how things go back together, like the heated rear window earth wire, how many peeps have forgotten where it goes.



little bit of surface rust


no more windows

well that is it for today,

Kieran if the car has a laminated screen you will need to cut the rubber out first otherwise you will crack the screen if you try to push it out.

[fast eddie]
