Despite it being -9C, I made it over to my friend's house with a few goals in mind.
Fitting the new rear plate:
Well that was nice and easy. You can see the holes from the rear bumper - I'm mulling over what to get to put on the rear, I don't like the OEM dumpers (they also weigh 110lbs). I'm sure I'll find something.
I then secured the battery down in the front, and took it out for a very short run to see if anything exploded. Well good news, I'm still in once piece and the car is too!
First things I noticed - the steering is SUPER heavy. I've been spoiled with power steering for as long as I can remember, so I guess this is something I'll have to get used to.
The brakes are pretty worn. Once it gets warmer outside, I think I'll take a look at them.
Aside from that, everything was good. I had a good look over the car, it's in great shape. The only issue of concern is the rust in the boot shut at the rear:
The patch is very localised. I'm going to get some quotes for repair.
And now some just general shots of the car. I love the styling on these, and every time I see the car, I'm noticing new details.
