Hey all,

Put this on the general forum without realising there's a specific 'S' series one... doh.

I've just bought an 1988 S1 with absolutely no idea what I was getting into but huge enthusiasm to learn.

It's not in great shape but the fundamentals are ok – ie, it's driveable! Am needing a few things looked at and am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction for parts / advice...

I had a friend look at it and he's done quite a lot to it already. In his opinion and in no special order, here are the things I know require work (it's a big list!!). MOT is due in July and am keen to remedy things that I need to help it pass (cosmetic things not high on the agenda right this minute, but all advice gratefully received!!)

HORN DOES NOT FUNCTION
HAZARDS DO NOT FUNCTION
NEARSIDE WIPER MOUNT REQUIRES FABRICATION
WIPER SPINDLES AND ARMS NEED REPLACED
NEW TYRES RECOMMENDED
FULL WHEEL GEOMETRY
HEATER CONTROL CABLE IS STIFF
OFFSIDE FRONT WHEEL INNER COVER NEEDS REPLACED
DUCTING FOR FRESH AIR VENTS NEED RENEWED (REPLACEMENT IN BOOT OF CAR)
HEATER ONLY WORKS ON FULL SPEED
WINDSCREEN NEEDS RESEALED PROPERLY/REPLACED
NEARSIDE FRONT INDICATOR LENS DAMAGED
AIR INTAKE HOSE SPLIT
REVERSE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDS RENEWED
PAINT RESTORATION
REINFORCE FOOT WELLS
REPLACE DIFF OIL

thanks in anticipation...
