Mine's alright, but we're offloading the bread knife's Z3 soon. To get it right, I'll be:

Channging the gearbox oil
Changing the diff oil.
Adjusting up the handbrake drum on the offside
Copaslip on the rear pads. Squeak squeak!
Replace corroded kickplates both sides.
Front bumper adjustment = wheel arch liner off
Full detail Inside & out + engine bay.

Whoever buys it will be getting a sorted motor. Already done the front wishbones + powerflex bushes, removed the clutch delay valve, changed the brake fluid, added a strut brace.

Then on to the next one. I love fixing motors.

Could do with getting the suspension bushes done on my car.

Other than finishing of the chip repairs and maybe getting round to replacing the stereo, nothing.

I've got a squeaky belt. Alternator I'm guessing, I hope it is just the belt and not a bearing. Going to have a look next week.

Removing the OEM exhaust backbox soon and replacing it with something louder to be mated onto the unsilenced B pipe I have on there atm, not that it's a job I'm doing myself, but that is the next thing happening to my car.

R230 SL

Inspect the underbody, renew the waxoil after tending to any tiny bits of corrosion. I've had a quick shufty a fortnight ago and the gentle winter has been kind to the car.

Start looking for a Clio Diesel (or Cliesel) to use as a winter hack to avoid having to overwinter it again.

Make overdrive work on Dolomite. Which, it seems, is harder than I anticipated as I am now 1 year and 8 months into the project.

New tyres on my quantum kit car will refurb at the same time finish off the carpet im putting in, going to flock my dash (if nobody knows what flocking is, it's what is used on rallycars) and a few other things i can't think off.

Also strip apart my newly accuired mx5 to be used as a donor for my new kit carsmile.
