Onto 2011...

Im back in the UK for roughly the next 6 months so im going to get cracking with tidying up the saxo so its properly protected to last for at least the next couple of years as ill be away in Oz from August/Sept this year until 2013 at least, and only coming back for the odd ring trip.

Anyway started off with a few bits and bobs today.

First up was to turn the engine over (as its been sat over the winter), check the plugs, then crank the engine over without the spark plugs in to get oil around the engine until the oil pressure light goes out.

Spark plugs looking good, so engine is still running well

Kms back on as its kept inside over the winter in the warm and dry

Battery back on

New centre console; Before (with holes)

After; without holes (and gave the interior a good clean/hoover)

Mirror caps needed re-doing; before

After

Also drivers side carbon door card was coming off; so a bit of "no nails" and some brown tape to hold it until it dries should have sorted that

And finally at the end of last year I had the rear arches sorted as they were showing signs of rust (common problem for most saxos/106s, but the carpet & tar normally hides it)

This will be properly sprayed when we spray the whole interior & cage after my track day @ cadwell on the 4th of April.

Thats it for now, ill be cracking on over the next few weeks checking and changing things where needed and will try and keep this thread up to date
