Haven't really had to do much,to her.Apart from,drive her.

Change interior,not as faded and swopped afew bits off my old q90,onto her.
Jobs tobe done-
Overhauld brakes,with repair kits.
Replace,downpipe.(Alittle noisey.

)
Repair A pillar.
Maybe replace tappets?(and refresh head)
Fit new plug leads,plugs and rotary arm.
Repair,rear diff bearings.
Taking engine cam and belt covers off old q90(and generally clean up engine bay.),to refurb and swop over to red q90.
Slowly replace all bushes and mounts.
Give her,agood detail.
Replace,windscreen.
Not alot,to do.

Jeez, that sounds like a lot to me! I really loved the brown interior, but I guess its personal taste!

Did it really need all that doing to it when you bought it off me or is it just whats occurred over the last few thousand miles of driving?! Are there any shows around my neck of the woods which you'll be showing it at? Would love to see it in the flesh!

The interior is the original brown,but the one in it had faded.
The jobs I've got planned,had nothing to do with you.Just because she has low mileage,doesn't stop things from deteriorating.
Leave an old car stored for years and alot of the rubber will deteriorate.

I'm sure I will be going to atleast one event near yours,I'll let you know.

When I bought her,you said she had an idle problem.I went down the ISV route(like alot of people.),but it turned out tobe a £6 temp sensor.
