As Agnetha sits patiently on the blocks I’ve put together a fairly complete list of jobs to be done to get her through an inspection.
So here goes:
- Replace drive shaft bushings and seals, both sides.
- Replace all drive shaft boots.
- Clean and grease steering rack, replace boots.
- Rebuild brake calipers.
- Rebuild drum brakes.
- Rebuild brake differential switch.
- Rebuild brake master cylinder.
- Clean and patch the fuel tank, replace sender unit.
- Weld sills, corners of the floorpan, passenger door and boot.
- New fuel line.
- New brake lines.
- New Hydragas fluid lines.
- Recondition/replace Hydragas displacers.
- New tyres.
- New exhaust.
- New indicator wing repeaters.
- Rebuild and reinstall crosstube assembly.
- New windscreen and tail screenwash pumps.
- New stereo – a must!
- That should be it, we’ll see.
I would love all this to be done by the end of 2024, and I think there’s a good chance. For a pro it’s probably not even a month’s work but as a hobbyist it never hurts to massively pad the auld estimates.
