Ok so I'm back home, gave her a wash and made a start on repairing and refitting some stuff.


Oiled all the locks and the ignition as things had been stiff and catching for a while. Just held the flap open with a thin screwdriver and used a little machine oilcan to apply a good dose of engine oil. Much better and smooth operation.


Also fitted the panel to the rear of the boot, with some new clips from eBay. (I found it under the boot carpet with no clips when I bought the car)


I installed a boot release cable and lever from another car - mine had at some point broken and the lever been removed. The cable remained in a broken state so the boot had to be key unlocked all the time and the fuel flap didn't lock.


This was a pain in the arse but has made things so much better! Big thanks to [USER=20700]@P-3[/USER] for finding me that!



Big thanks to [USER=21368]@Zazee[/USER] and his bro for selling me some other nice bits - preface headlight covers and a March dash pod.



And here's a picture of the workshop- I know which car you'd all rather have!
