So this morning I went and took a proper look at what I had bought as a donor for this build.
It seems this was a California, limited edition then.
The interior is a mess, with the good, original seats having been swapped for a pair of worn items, not bolted down, just thrown in there.
Perfect for when it comes to stripping looms etc.
Checked the engine fluids etc, all good and the oil seems very clean.
Not yet looked at the owners service book etc, which is actually in the car, it will be nice to add to the build as part of the history.
So, I decided it was time to wash it, before 08.00 using a broom and some Domestos toilet bleach gel.
Rear end is mullered as it was rear ended by Kevs truck, pushing it.
Front end improved from yesterday.
Better for sure.
Late afternoon, after work I went to sit and started the car up, after adding 5 liters of lawnmower fuel into the very empty tank.
So I decided to do a walk around and check lights, indicators, oil pressure, temperature etc.

I still need to look at more of the car as I get time.
Still happy this will be good.
Though the 1600’s 109bhp compared to the 138bhp of the,1800cc engine makes me wonder if I,will,be happy with that, or need to fit a Turbo……
Loads to do before that though.
