more little jobs done today!
1st job was swap out all the locks and ignition barrel, so a) i would have 1 key for the car instead of 2, and b) my boot would actually lock!
all went well with the doors and boot, watched a youtube vid for the doors, and the boot is literally 3 nuts and remove, refit new one!
struggled a bit with the ignition, searched on here and found numerous threads saying how easy it is, and just pull this off and that off and its all magic and nice, nothing of which matched up with what i was looking at!
got it done in the end though - i will be posting a decent how to with pics later!
also, with the door cards off i could get a look inside the doors to see if they had been welded up in the past, passenger door, all original, minor surface rust on inside! NICE!
drivers door, looked OK to start with, but on a closer look with my phone camera stuck in the door, i could see the bottom rear corner has been welded, looks like it had gone at the joint of the inner and outer skins, all in all not too bad, i will be getting these filled with waxoyl asap
also, the drivers door card has started to tear apart at the top, and a couple of the clips have broken, so i will be looking for a replacement for this soon too!
gave the roof lining a quick clean as it had some white mold/dust on it, and went round all the rubber seals (doors, boot, bonnet) with gummi pflege, (2 wonderful words!) that is supposed to bring rubber seals back up to form, so they look nice now!
also raised the rubber stops under the bonnet so i can open it without a helper!
after running the engine for a while i noticed a bit of steam coming from the top hose where it joins the engine - so thats the next job! i think it may just be corrosion, so will give it a clean up 1st rather than replace the hose...
