Dave.Wilson Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 After all the agro, hassle and woes of getting my MK3 cabby up and running she finally burst into life Sunday afternoon... turns out it was a loose injector union which was the problem... so stripping the engine down was sort of pointless... but it was good to take her apart and give her a bit of a clean and fit some new parts. She now drives like a dream, a peach, and I loved a bit of 'top down' action before the sun set Sunday evening... even has a nice throaty exhaust note, which made me just rev it... So now that is done, it's time to start the wish list on everything else that is wrong with her, like re-fitting the back seats (looks like someone has nabbed the screws) re-fit the bar for the drivers seat belt (should hopefully be a simple case of screwing back in place) fitting a radio (if I can find an original one) and changing the cambelt... then it's onto the bodywork, scratches, roof, rubbers, paintwork and generally cleaning the old girl up ready for the Ford event in Holland in September... got lots to do and hardly any time to do it. But at least she's running, and running well... so I can enjoy this sunshine before 'ole Bluey' gets tucked up in the garage for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave.Wilson Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thank you... She needs a real good clean, the photo doesn't show all the dust and dirt... but a day-long cleaning and clay baring session has been planned just before the Ford event to get her looking respectable enough before I can get the bodywork etc all sorted out.

Dave.Wilson Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Really? Good to know... It might well need a few parts... I've got to write the list once I clean it and find the bits that I can't repair. Thanks mate. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
