Garage find!

[KNU7S]

I went to my father in laws garage today and under under a layer of dust i found my car!!!

Its been stood for 14months i fitted a new battery and it started first time the hand brake was off and just revving the engine made the whole car rock mmmmmmmm I got a twinge in my jeans pocket must be the wallet cringing!

Cant wait to get it mot'd

jobs that need doing

1, replace the wiper control stalk

2, re fix the window motor (one of the bolts have sheered off)

3, a check over the brakes

4, have a look at the craking on the rear suspension

and thats about it so im hoping for a nice summer

Which prison?

It reminded me of the begining of Essex Boys when Sean Bean collects his Mercedes up from the lockup!

It has been sat there because we has such a bad summer last year i never got round to getting it up an running

I will take some pics today when i go back down to give it another run

You could have put a sheet over it!

Were the tyres flat-spotted ?

I thought it would only be in there a month! but the coutyard outside is gravel so a lot of dust got under the door.

I will be giving it a good clean next weekend and i have got some Auto Glym treatment for the roof

The tyres were fine as i have pushed it forwards or backwards every few weeks, as i know that can happen.

I really am looking forward to getting it back on the road in the next month.

Another problem i have is the heater only blows on a low speed, i think it is the resistors can i use one from any car that age?
