The Bad Stuff

The gearbox has a whine in reverse, a mechanic has told me not to worry about it until it needs a new clutch, then replace the reverse idler gear. Typically when i had it apart everything was fine, its just started acting up now.
It needs a new roof lining
Since lowering it i havn't been happy with the wheel alignment and we don't have a suspension specialist out here in the bush. I'd take it too Pedders or someone who knows this stuff and get a proper alignment done. It has a standard spec alignment at present.
I havn't finished replacing all the suspension bushes. I didn't do the sway bar rubbers and the lower rear suspension bushes as they are still ok, but they should be done regardless due to the age of the vehicle, so i'm supplying Nolathane bushes with the car to do this, if you're mechanically minded its an easy job
I painted the car myself, and while i'm not a professional it's turned out well, just not professional though. It needs a proper polish.
The front and rear bumpers are a bit rough. I was going to fit a body kit but havn't got to it.
It needs a new air con switch, its stuck on and switch broke.
It needs a new front ash tray
