slowly going through the to-do list on the nugget.
So far I have crossed off the following:
- Brake performance to improve
- Rear tyres on backwards
- Front brake shudder
- Front wipers streaking
- Plate lamps n/w
- R/H steering rack boot torn
Now with the leftover bits:
TOE ARMS x2: After accidently purchasing a set of used MK1a arms, I'll be placing an order through Twosrus - These parts do have a rose joint which there were concerns about legalities, however after talking with the mechanics, they have come to an agreement of passing the car with them installed, with a note to get them looked at when I get the car certified later in the year.
PASSENGER SEATBELT BUCKLE: Being sent up from Hawera along with a few other parts. Should arrive in the next week at the latest
R/F SHOCK PERFORMANCE WEAK: Being sent up from Hawera also. replacement shocks are 80,000ks old (from a mk1b) so they should be fine
L/H INNER RACK END: Repmacement has arrived, just don't have the tool to remove the part. this should be addressed this weekend
The only thing i can't seem to do is adjust the handbrake. so i'll probably just leave this to the wof guys when i send the car in again.
I ended up using Techstop brakepads, and discs (sourced from Exedy) and some motul dot 4.
Wrapped the dunlop wheels in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's
Took a little longer but at least she's nearing completion!
with both the box of goodies + the twosrus order, i should have more or less all the parts to complete the build also!
Once she's on the road I will be hunting for some rubber door trim pieces (one side was missing) and getting some decals printed and slapped on!
