'Sally' the '94 1.3SLX

[Sam_ROX]

So joy of joys I bought another car, this time a 1994 1.3SLX auto in FL1 green with a brown interior, 99k miles and around 7 months MOT, as well as some rather dodgy paintwork.

Pictures of when I first got it:

Swiftly removed the old people hub caps and taped the lights, I don't know why I do this either;

Also managed to amuse myself by painting the random weld spots on the sills black, better than bare metal eh;

And a few close up's of the paint issues..

Since then it's been to Japshow, that was fun. But the gearbox broke on the way there! As well as the electromagnetic clutch not working right (I think) it managed to snap the shifter linkage so changing gear now requires popping the bonnet, great! Anyway it got us there and back okay so I guess it turned out okay, and it gives me an excuse to swap to manual so eh.

Not much has happened since, only thing that has occurred is fixing the paint on the bonnet - sanded it back to find nine layers of paint/primer in there, great;

But it's sorted and it's now in primer!

Finishing this off with a few cheeky pictures, lol. More updates to come.
