Small update after the weekend. Firstly, LEDs and burglar alarm cable have been ordered so I can make a fault code reader. Haynes manual also on its was as well as some cheap and cheerful hub caps so I don’t have to look at the rusty wheels and nuts. Longer term I’ll go alloys but not before going through and sorting the rest of the car first.

So I’ve spent the time waiting for these things by starting the cleaning process, which will be a long but I think rewarding journey. Just a couple of pics showing the interior switch area where I unfortunately didn’t take a before pic but trust me it was filthy, like biohazard filthy, then the front bumper where I applied some plastic treatment and then where I gave the little headlight wipers a good sanding and a cost of satin black from a rattle can. Small things but it’s really helped lift the car a bit.
