    Good or Bad opportunity??

    depends how bad it is, a simple t cut may do it. paint can be brought back to life with a process called mopping, you need a special mopping tool a load of water some specialised compound, patience and time. i think its quicker and easier to rub it down with an electric sander and attack it with...

    Good or Bad opportunity??

    are you going to drop the 200tdi in yourself. i would see it as an oportunity to get to know the vehicle and its engine a blank canvas if you will. i paid £2200 for my 90 2.5td which is a solid straight machine that had been well looked after, lots of receipts the engine is strong with plenty of...

    Track rod ends

    to check them jack the wheel up and pull it at bottom and top. get a pry bar in there too to check it. as mikescuba says to replace the rubber you need to take it all apart anyway. if excess dirt has got in yours you will have to change them soon anyway

    Track rod ends
