This one's going to be interesting - its fallen off the widowmaker at some point and punched a hole in the sill More on that later...



Rear suspension bushes are a bit nasty too



Rear diff leak



Interesting aftermarket exhaust, with a 'hanger' designed to damage the heat shield We'll be replacing it with a nice quiet stock system.



Front end coming off



Oh look. Paint marks on the timing gear



Dean mentioned the power steering fluid was an odd colour. I was expecting red or brown



Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot




Its been topped up with water and turned in to mayonnaise I've never seen anything like this before. Its going to take a fair bit of work to flush all this out.



Engine front end coming apart



Crud everywhere




Covers off the belt. The idlers look good, but the belt is done so just as well we're in there



Evidence of a 'rad weld' type treatment having been used in the past, so a full coolant flush will be needed too, including the heater cores (joy). The radiator is unexpectedly heavy so probably silted up Not leaking though which is a major bonus at this age.



This collection of bits is barely even scratching the surface!
