Hi
This is my 940 manual turbo I have owned for the last year ...
Didn't know if it's been owned by any other members in the past.
Work all done by me so far is as follows
New head gasket, head bolts and core plugs
New true trac lsd
New cam belt and tensioner
New water pump
New DO88 coolant hoses
New vacuum hoses
New heater matrix
New radiator
New BC coil overs
New front suspension bushes all round
New complete rear brakes including handbrake shoes
New engine mounts gearbox mount and prop bearing
New plugs leads and cap
Complete underneath sealed with rust buster two pac under body paint
Full custom 3" system from turbo back
TDO4 19t rebuilt with new core
Wide band sensor and gauge
Boost gauge ...
7 seat conversion
Still more to go but getting there trying to build a good fun fast daily driver

Like the steels ! Are you going to paint them silver ?

Tell me more about your underside rust treatment and painting ? I'm planning on giving the underneath a good seeing to ( oh er ) in the near future. I read about POR15 ?

Hi Wade,

What a great looking car.

You have carried out lots of sensible work. Well done you!

Were the hand brake shoes difficult as I think mine are due for replacement?

Cheers,
LeeP

I spent a bit of time researching underseal/ paint ..Rust busters 2 pac epoxy under body paint was recommended by quite a lot of guys I know in the restoration trade it was also recommend in a 2 year test by classic monthly I believe as the best long term protection ..So that is what I went for ...Check out their website they do some good products . www.rust.co.uk

Rear handbrake shoes were not to bad to do compared to some cars I have done.. make sure you get a spring kit as well it makes it much easier ...
