so another update! the only things i need to buy now are discs and spark plugs. hopefully going to get an exhaust over christmas when people arent paying much attention to ebay and other than that i am just looking for cool **************** now! also purchased an auxilliary belt as i found out they are real easy to change and i dont have any record of the car having it done so for peace of mind it was worth the £10 for a new belt!
and i started to fix the steering wheel. i put some resin in the gap and it just soaked right in so i then had to go for black silicone type stuff. layered that in and let it overspill a bit. So I let the sealant on the back of the wheel dry to a point where it could easily be sanded! Started with 150 grit to get the rough edges off, jumped up to 320, 600 then 2000 grit and used the 600 and 2000 wet aswell as dry
contoured the finger ridges and then finally gave it a polish up with some auto glym
during and after pictures below!
Really happy with how it turned out! Quite impressed with myself actually hahah! I can see the other bottom corner is maybe starting to crack too but at least I know how to fix it of it decides to go!
