yea, im pretty keen to get into it

First things first tho, need to get a RWC for it.
So gettin that checked over on Tuesday, but shouldnt need much, if anything, as it got one 4months ago.

Also came with a spare TD Wagon with another G180 that has apparently been reco'd. so might give that a drive and see that engine feels better.

Also came with alot spares, so might get onto them and paint them up pretty soon. No idea of colour just yet.

this is my list i got for the RWC inspection:

Sunvisors to be fitted (got some, just have to install them)
extensive oil leaks to be rectified (rocket cover gasket picked up today)
Rear number plate mounting
Rear number plate illumination (fit new bumper and install light and it'll work)
Replace front engine mout (got another motor im thinking about putting in, so can swap the mounts when i do that)
Rust repair need in front left and right floor needs to be welded in, not fiber glassed) (Doner car has good floors)
Tow bar holes to be sealed
Exhaust system to be raised
exhaust main muffler to be replaced (good exhaust on doner car)
Speedo cable to be secured under car
right front lower indicator lense to be replaced
front number plate to be secured to vehicle
alternator to operate (have good one on doner car)
Engine emmision equipment to be there and connected (stove pipe and plate are both missing)


The inspection was incomplete - the car has not been road tested, hasnt checked the interior as of yet, but said i can come back sometime and book the car in and it wont cost me anything.

So iv got most of it under controll except for the welding.
