203 Work Plan History June 99
[update comments 1st August 99]

Current work plan as of  June 1999:

  • Get the brake lights working - I guess it could be the brake light switch. [Turned out to be a simple adjustment at the switch / pedal spring]

  • The lenses for the rear lights also need renewal. [Found some original rear light units from a garage]

  • I need to fit a top-hose to the radiator as the current one is slightly damaged (but still holding) [done]

  • The Speedo works and the ampere meter but not oil pressure and fuel, I think. I will get the float switch checked for the fuel meter. [Fuel gauge works--just needed fuel!]
  • There is a small exhaust leak from the place where the exhaust joins the manifold. [Gasket replaced]
  • Investigate  knocking noise at the back when you drive over a bump, even with the boot empty.
    [Exhaust box mountings were in tatters - new ones located and fixed]
  • Bodywork and Painting
[Entire bodywork was rubbed down, primed and sprayed with 3 coats of black and one coat of black/lacquer, fortunately there was only surface corrosion which was taken down to bare metal and primed. The interior floor and under-body was treated to a thicker coating of hand-paint once cleaned up.  Seats were removed and interior metalwork painted.]

1st August 99 - Almost ready for the road!
