    Looks lovely, I’m glad you are going to bin that hideous gear knob! Did you check the Sills and A panels? I can just see the edges of suspicious rust in your video so I would be getting under it to check it all! Brings back bad memories of the 3 I had!! 😮

    • @zaksgarage
      @zaksgarage 3 години тому

      The sills look fine just on the edges they were getting a bit flakey so I rust treated and then repainted them. The A pillar on one side is bubbling so needs sorting soon !

    Nice car Zak.....looks stunning again 👌 On the next car issue: seat ibiza cupra 2.0-16v ......fat wheels and rims, 7 and 9 x 16 inch, and just a little lower. The only "down" on these cars is the firm clutch pedal but U can change the gearbox/clutch to a hydraulic from a toledo 1L gt or golf 3 gti 16v. They've got everything a sporty car needs. There quiet rare nowerdays.

    Fantastic video.Brings back memories of my first car. £450 MINI 1L that was totally restrored for passing my test, but with the lack of power i spent many weekends going round scrap yards until i found a metro turbo. Now my mini was a pocket rocket.......... should have never sold it but you cant keep them all. Keep up the good work.
