Dear All, ??????????? This
is strictly for those that have the time. Don't blame me if you use too
much time answering this email. Here is a list of problem areas, I need to get
an idea of what it's going to cost me to do all of them, those of you
that have the time, please give me some ideas of what you think this list would
cost, and the best ways to address these problems on the car. ??????????? Electrics. ??????????? Courtesy
Light system doesn't work on doors, and both interior lights. ??????????? Seat belt buzzer and key in ignition buzzer not working. ??????????? Central
locking sometimes opens both doors, other times only drivers door, passenger
door sometimes locks itself. ??????????? Mirrors
work fine, in all directions, but switch can be a little nervy. ??????????? Temperature
gauge not working, replacing sensor may fix this though ??????????? Doors
open light doesn't work ??????????? Seatbelts
not on light doesn't work ??????????? Headlights light, (green one) very dim. ??????????? Dashboard
illuminating light currently quite dim, even when turned to full brightness ??????????? Engine
bay light not working ??????????? Rear
lights seem to be very dim at present. ??????????? Front
lights dim, and dip in power when the car isn't revving above 1500 ??????????? Glove
compartment? light
not working ??????????? Interior. ??????????? Floor
carpets shouldn't be black, with grey interior, but grey. Need to source
correct grey carpet for floor, and foot pads, side pads too. ??????????? Would
like to replace all the vinyl in the car, everywhere, with original grey vinyl
or as close as possible replacement. ??????????? Graphics
around the centre console controls need replacing, as they are currently a
little faded. ??????????? Headliners sagging near door windows. ??????????? Plastic
surround for right hand door lock controls and mirror controls currently
cracked slightly, needs replacement. ??????????? Need
original cigarette lighter. ??????????? Need
to replace driver RHD seatbelt, as it does not recoil at present. ??????????? Drivers window motor very noisy, and the window can waggle
back and forth when window not in closed position, window rattles in door when
down. ??????????? Vents
underneath window don't currently emit virtually any air when in demist
mode, perhaps not connected due to rhd conversion. ??????????? Whole
heating/ airconditioning needs an overhaul, as it lacks
power. Seen Martins in action, so know mine is running at about ¼ of expected
level. ??????????? ??????????? Exterior ??????????? Whole
body needs to be rebrushed, and polished ??????????? Fascias
need repainting. ??????????? Front
fascia needs to have eye brows removed. ??????????? Front
lights very dull at present, glass looks dirty on the inside on outside pair. ??????????? Wheels
need to be sand blasted, and repainted silver. ??????????? Need
new plastic wheel centres and logos ??????????? Front
air dam needs realigning slightly. ??????????? Right
hand catch on engine cover needs replacing. ??????????? ??????????? Engine ??????????? Need
to get micro switch on throttle working ??????????? Need
to replace all stickers ??????????? Need
to tune engine and check that everything is running as efficiently as it can
for the standard 130HP block. ??????????? If
you see the car in the flesh, like most people, you'll think it looks
pretty damn fine, but I'm getting picky now, and am looking for
perfection. What would it cost to have all the above done by a restoration
company, Wingray, a DOC member with the time( yeh I knowJ
) or any other means. In the search for perfection, I am looking for as many
ideas as possible. Cheapest ideas win the most marks at present. Thank you to all that had time to look at this, Stephen.?????????? Stephen Strelczak Networked Storage Division Comtec PLC.
