No. 26 / The Chalkboard Car MkII
Hi guys, I have a few 'retro' cars, but this one is my daily hack.
Its a Mk2 Uno, with the 1.7 non-turbo diesel engine.
Painted in chalkboard paint, and usually decorated with chalk!
Before anyone asks... its following the 'rat' style, and is ideal as I've had nice cars over the years, but get sick of somebody scratching/denting them. Turns more heads anyway!
Recent work includes:
-New water pump
-New cambelt (@71k)
-New aux drivebelt
-New rear engine mount (engine fell out!)
-2x new tyres
-Brighter headlamp bulbs
-New springs all round (was lowered, now back to standard height!)
-New shocks all round
-New front shock top-mounts
-2x new front wishbones
Currently fitting new front anti-roll bar bushes.
Work lined up to do:
-replace thermostat (stuck open)
-fill o/s/r wheelarch
-repaint matt black (currently looking a bit grey)
