"New" MK2 in Melbourne

[ozvino]

Here she is; all I have done is wash it, quick polish and a good interior clean. I have Auto "glymed" the plastic/rubber trim and repainted the rear bar with K&H bumper paint, it was smothered in bloody shoe polish Arghhhh!!

Got the roadworthy check today, has the following issues:

- Rear lower front arm bushes (both sides)
- Left tie rod end boot N/R
- Front lower control inner arm bushes N/R (both sides)
- Centre muffler has a hole in it, needs replacing
- Centre muffler hanger is broken
- Washer water doesn’t pump (I think the small electric pump unit is R/S)

A couple of bulbs need replacing and the bloody electric mirrors that are RS will fail the roadworthy; if you have elec mirrors they must work, so the easy fix is to remove the knob and put a blanking plate over for now and make them "manual" control mirrors. Im pretty happy with the roadworthy, its almost 20 years old so these issues are to be expected.

Hopefully the pictures work; let me know what you think (btw I removed the rear badge when cleaning it, it was RS, I have a new one coming)

Cheers

Nice mate!

Just cut out the centre muffler and replace it with a straight piece of pipe.

Will sound good and pass road worthy whilst keeping the dollars down.

Looks like it could be a twin to my car if I put the flares back on, but yours looks heaps better.

Looks like a really great pick up! very neat and tidy that's for sure!

Will be nice to see it all standard and immaculate!
