Few more jobs … jobbed

Car has now had a full service, plugs (wotatwattodo) , oils + filters , etc

Ive got 2 door mirrors to have painted in black , then get them fitted

I had the car on the LAUNCH reader , as Ive got an O/S/F ABS light on , so i stripped the front wheel arch down to fix and waxoyl

Ive ordered some POR15 from Frosts to sort the 10 year old top rust out underneath,

The thing is i found 3 plugs under the wing , going nowhere ,from the loom , they are near the ABS Unit , 2 had the wire loop so as not to upset the ECU

Anybody shed any light on them , everything seems to work fine without …

Update time …

No MOT as yet , but Wheels arrived last week, so pics pics pics …

Well

MOT Today , It was not pretty

Brake pipes need sorting, and a few plates need making for the floor / sill rot

It looks like a labour of love underneath , most things have rust on them , but it looks like its been caught just in time , a quick scrub with the wire brush , and most of the top rust is off

Any way , av a pic
