I imported this from Malta a few months back, have been getting it road worthy.

Going for its first UK M.O.T today.

My picture files seem to be too big I will try to add some pictures tomorrow.

 

This was the car when I bought it. I've changed the tires, the front tires were too slim for me (135).

So far I've done basic work:

Plugs Cap Rotor
HT Leads
Alternator
Battery
Gear leaver bushing
Gear Leaver Boot
Idler Arm Bushes
New Tie Rods Outer and Inner
New Ball Joints
New anti-roll bar bushes
New Horn

The front indicator lenses are cracked, I'm trying to source some from Will aka Datman who came through with the mirrors and some bushes.

Good luck with the MOT. Lovely looking car.

Thanks, she looks a lot better from far away than up close.

Some more pics.

Unfortunately it failed MOT it needs some welding to the underside near the front not a lot. Will cost around £150, also since putting on the new track rods the tracking is way out.

Can anyone advise me on how to re-align the front?

The car is running very very rich the mixture adjustment screw seems to be doing nothing hence its on a rich mixture. I'm planning to re-build the carb.

Looks good.

I use www.trackace.co.uk/

Pretty tricky to setup and use. But will give good results if you do it right.

Other than that, guess or get it done at a tyre shop.

Local garage or tyre firm should be able to do tracking
