Lol the funs of buying a car for 1k.... when i first bought it i knew the powersteering was stuffed. But i relised that the powersteering lines where loose and spraying fluid everywhere. Tightened them up and it seemed fine. However after only 2weeks of it being on the road the rack has already turned into a suive (sp). Ahhwell.


Gave her its first polish in probably 2years and after sitting in the sun and rain most of that time. Results were actually really decent, supprised me. Gonna buy some decent wax this week and hit it with that aswell. Will get some new photos up shortly

Bud

Unfortunately you don't have a unique steering rack happening there, Commodore racks were all sold with a complimentry leak that becomes apparent after about 80 000km

Exchange racks aren't a fortune anymore so its not so bad

Best quote so far is $350 for an exchnage rack.... love local prices!!!

Nice car mate. Great bargain too.

Well i forked out for an exchange rack. Cept when i was removing the old one i thought u must get new tie rod ends with it so didnt put too much effort into looking after the old ones. Couple hits with a hammer and they come out easy enough. Go in to echnage the rack and find out it doesnt include the tie rod ends. Unfortunatly when hammering the old ones out i stuffed the threads. New rack and 2 new ends ended up costing $400. But its all in now and shouldnt worry me for a while so its all good.

Couple pics as well.

The whole car after a polish

Smoothed stereo surround and headunit. The shifter surround turned out dodgy as it was my first attempt. I have also done the one for the manual which turned out a hella lot better.

Well has some spare time today so went for a drive out to the wreckers picked up some door cards then to spotlight for some microsuede.

After a couple hours fiddling the end result is pretty decent...
