Hello and welcome to OOF,a wealth of knowledge/experience on here
Given the age, its fair to say it'll need some mechanical work. Which sounds like you're more than capable of
Thus I'd be look for corrosion issues mainly, knowing that front suspension will need some work due to age...
Friend took it to his garage where he works-gave it a once over and it needs two bits of welding and a set of pads for the mot-booked in for the first week in Jan.Hi Steve
Better than I thought.
Other issues.
Will need a centre bearing and holder for the prop.
Speedo-the speedo is original Royale but the engine and box are Monza 3.0i-there is an electronic take off the box-any ideas on how to get a speedo working?
Heater not blowing hot or even luke warm-even when engine up to temp.
Gearbox rear seal leaking.
Strange feeling through the steering such as worn rubber mountings/bushes you can sometimes feel it through the wheel and hear it especially when on full lock-feels a bit similar to the front bush problems on mark 3 Granadas.
Any advice on the above would be more than welcome!
Regards
Steve
