Well, the car arrived at my house earlier this week, after customs and border inspections, including a full fumigation treatment due to evidence of 'spiders' found in her inner crevices.
My first job was to re-attach the driver's door window to the glass carrier....someone had been over zealous with the crank handle and, as a result, the carrier was found sitting, detached from the glass, in the bottom of the door. I set to work and 45 minutes later, the window was fully functional and the door reassembled.
Other than that, I'm very impressed with the car's overall condition, and am looking forward to getting better acquainted in the coming weeks.
This weekend will be spent dismantling, cleaning and inspecting various areas and components (e.g. brakes, exhaust, suspension, steering) in preparation for compliance checks to be done before she can be VIN'ed and registered here.
I also need some additional documentation from Australia before booking her into my chosen vehicle compliance centre.
Will update further in a few days.
