It will be getting a full service too of course, but im only replacing everything as with it being sitting for years, I can see it passing the MOT, then fucking breaking the week after

Hence why Im doing everything now

Track rod ends, ball joints, rear cylinders, brake hoses, brake line & connectors, flat blade wipers, and a fuel filter.

Ordered

Also bought a central locking kit, and a set of locking nuts for the wheels, whole lot so far has only cost me £110odd, still need the tyres though, which will be around £150 all in.

Cant wait to get it all done
