Ha. That got your attention
After a 3 year slumber in the nettles and brambles she was rudely awoken by an unusually un hungover surge of Sunday morning enthusiam. No Peter.... the car not Claire
Bought a new battery... yes new! and a can of fuel, refitted all the ignition bits I had carried as spares on LM missions in her sister estates and after a five second spin with the HT lead off to get everything moving... lead back on and.... instant fire up
Wahey.
No smoke, noises and a perfect silent idle.
Pumped up the Tyres and drove her to my mates unit (on private roads
) and jetwashed all the algae, leaves and filth off.
Brakes are fine, a little dead at first, power steering all ok, all the electric toys work including the headlamp washwipers!
Some of the scabs around the netrher regions have come back but electric wire brush, rust cure stuff and silver smoothrite will have her looking dandy again.
Rear bumper is shot but solid, will just have to put up with that. All second hand ones are the same and Nissan wanted nearly a grand for a new one before they withdrew all 300c spares.
4 new tyres and in for the dreaded MOT next week.
From algae covered heap to this in about 4 hours. Chuffed.
