Ewans Red 1.3sr

[EwanG]

Hey guys I am new to the site and will become a full member soon. Just to let you guys know I have just bought dannymcc old sr! Danny sold it to a car dealer in Ireland and I bought it of him. Norman the car dealer delivered the car to my place fife,scotland this afternoon. I am really happy with the car I cleaned it and had a good look over and cant find rust anywhere! Amazing! I will only be using the car in the summer and hopefully dry days only. The timing belt needs replaced as I dont have a reciept for it being changed. How long should it take to change the belt? How easy is it and should I change the waterpump at the same time?? Any comments on this subject would be most appreciated. My plans are to fit a fulll suspension kit. What are the PI suspension kits like? To make the car 100% mint I would like to get new door pillar vinyls and 1 new centre cap as its cracked and dont think the standard stereo is working so if anyone has these parts they could sell me please pm me. Well thats it for now I am sure everyone saw the pics when danny had it but I will put some on anyway. Oh and big shout out to dannymcc who was a great help to me by sending me pics and being 100% honest about the car THANKS DANNY BOY!.

Thanks Danny.

I cleaned the inside of the front wings, suspension turrets and rear arches today and I cannot find any rust anywhere. Everything seems to work ok but I have not had the car out as such because of tax and insurance. The car will be on the road come May 2012. The only real problem I have had so far whilst putting the car in reverse today is that I managed to pull the gear knob off. It looks like it has been glued on but I am not bothered about this as I will source one and repair.

Did you put a clear coating wax underneath the car? If so, what make and where did you get it? As it seems to do the job!?!

Yea there no rust at all on the car, when I got it there was a oily type substance on it and it seems to have done the trick! I cleaned all that off and put a bit of WD40 underneath as I was going to put clear waxoyl on or similar at a later stage. When I put on a gear gaiter we were trying to get the gear knob of for ages, it ended up in pieces . I got another mint one though but I don't think I put it on right, thats probably why eventually broke.
