Project Rescue has begun

[mattbl]

Well I've had the Fairmont Ghia for a whole six days now and had a little spare time this afternoon to start the revival of this car.
I bought it last week and it sure needs some work, but I'm up to the task and needed a project to work on. I didn't have a great deal of money so I bought the AU1 Ghia fully knowing it required some maintenance. It was a cheap entry.
Still I'd rather be driving in a run down AU than some Holden :

Last week I just gave it a general clean up to see what was lying under all the dirt.
Today I got the following done:
Oil
Oil filter
Thermostat and seal (stuck open)
Spark plugs
Ignition leads
An entire tin of Dubbin on the leather seats!

I've got the day off tomorrow so I'm going to:
Flush the radiator
Fuel filter
Fix the power steering leak
Take the rear muffler off and get the tip replaced as its got a hole in it where the tip joins.

I'd put some pics up but I'm sure nobody can be bothered looking at an AU1 with 3 colors of the same grey paint :

Anyway the project has started and hope to have a RWC for it in the next few weeks
Stay tuned
