Hi all,
So this is a start into odyssey of repairs.
My plan is to continue using this car as daily drive.
So here is initial list of repairs that are needed.
1. Need to return engine to good working.
So need to check errors on ecu and fix them.
Replace vacuum pipes that need replacement.
Check distributor arm, cap and spark plugs.
Spark plugs cable I brought new and installed.
After engine is working right I will do general repair of it.
So lifters, valve guidelines, valve seals, piston rings, rod and main bearings will be replaced.
I will need to do conversion to Bosch injectors with adapters because one of injectors
that was on cleaning is badly damaged.
2. Resolve electrical problems.
Electrical side mirrors does not work.
Additional instruments near gearbox liver does not work correctly.
Rear speakers are broken needs to be replaced.
Speed is showing 30km/h faster and one bulb does not work.
Diagnostic connector are not present I will need to check where are they.
Need to replace bulbs with LEDs on switches (later).
There are more I will add when I remember more.
3. Interior
Seats and door cards need to their cloth replaced.
steering wheel needs to be refurbished.
4. Suspension
Need to change all rubber parts.
Front dampers are bad so they need to be replaced.
5. Exterior
Needs respraying and new lower door rubber parts.
This is it for now but this list is going to get bigger because I'm sure I
forgot to add something.
I added some old images I will add new images just to have some sunny day.
Suggestions and advises are welcomed.
Since I do not have all tools to repair all of these things alone I will concentrate on
repairing electrical things and smaller problems.
Also I will fix engine running problems since here mechanics do not know how to fix
problems on this engine.
They are telling me that it can not run better since it is old car.
I want to prove them wrong.
This will be slow thread since I do not have garage.
This is introduction and I hope I will be victorious in this.
