Hi Ali

If you do take any more pics could you post some of the engine bay/ inner wings?

Cheers

hi mo - loads of questions! Hope i cover the info here but bear in mind im not all tuned up with cars in general :D

I’ve hi-res close up of wheels which I’m uploading at the moment (I will post a link once there all there – I’m on a slow connection!). Worse one seems the rear-right wheel well which seem the worse off – you can make you own mind form the pics. Rest 3 look decent enough. I’ve only had look underneath he car once recently when new sills where put in to strengthen the sides as part of the MOT work. Generally the bottom is solid – I cant remember specific rusts [I might be able to get photos of the underneath sometime today as someone else is having a look to see if anything can be done about the exhaust – I actually found complete new exhaust silencer locally which if it fits will go on!]. The sunroof – I’ve never done any work on the sunroof and checked the pics again – it could be rust again :( . Surprisingly the roof has never leaked since I’ve had it – when I first got the car water used to leak through one of the back windows but that was fixed with a sealant and has never leaked after that. On heavy rains days water does still gets into the trunk though.

New parts – I’ve found it very difficult to find anything for this car. Since I’ve had it there no new parts gone in. But the previous owner did some work to it – but not sure if he put new parts in. I do have loads of receipts for this car which I’ve never really properly checked. I did only yesterday by accident find a local place that had one 1977 exhaust silencer in stock – brand new. I’ve got it and will try to see if this goes on later today.

All the glass is good. There is no carpeting as such – floor is cover with ‘plastic cover’ and has mats on the front. It’s a 4 speed manual. No radio or any sound system – although there is a once speaker holder on the front passenger side.

Seals: they are around the windows and do they job of not letting water in. The trunk seal is probably weak as water does sometime gets through on heavy rains days – although I’ve never checked it. Again I can take photos of this area now that someone has mentioned it.

Not sure what you mean by hinges on the hood – hood opens fine from the latch inside the car – no fiddling about it. Back and front bumpers are dented a bit – I got it like this and have left it – it’s not something I’ve done.

All electrics are good – all front and rear lights work. Only time I had a problem was with a bulb going on the front headlight when I first got the car – replaced the bulb and have never experienced any problems with it since.

I’ll post the link of the hi-res photos as soon as they upload (1.2mb each)

i'm in sweden .. was wondering if you could tell me about the motor .. must be an EB1 ... and the rust .. please describe in detail .. especially whell wells, underneath, floor ..running boards etc. if you could post some close up pictures of the worst rust, that would be benificial ... also noticed some potential welding on the corners of the sun roof .. does it leak? why was it repaired? ...

and what about new parts .. example brakes, starter, rad, carbs, hoses, gaskets, alternator .. etc ....

is tha glass all good? .. how about upholstry and carpeting? ..
is it 4 speed? ..5 speed or hondamatic?

does it have a radio and antenna? ..

how are the seals .. the door and trunk rubber, windows etc. ..
any dents? fenders or doors .. hood? ..

how are the hinges on the hood .. are the snug or do they have a bit of play when the hood is open? ..

how are the bumpers`? are they straight and is the chrome good? ..

same question for the rear lights ...
