I'm getting this lovely 7,000 genuine mile Maestro back on the road . So far I've been busy doing this:
Installed electric roof. I like electric sunroofs, so if the technology is there why not go for it...?
Headlining now sag-free, the old one was drooping, like they all do. Usual problem...
Installed PAS. The previous owner was thinking of doing this, and it was an optional extra anyway.
Rev-counter instrument pack installed using innards from the original speedo to preserve recorded mileage. Not SL spec, I know (found on Metro and Montego SL's though) - but I don't like the idea of not having a rev counter, and the extra back-lighting looks better and is more effective.
Cleaned engine bay and fittings.
Engine (the original one) re-fitted complete with proper new Unipart full 3 piece clutch and new cable and a NOS RH engine mounting too.
Should be ready to start soon (engine bay wiring to sort out today - knock sensor terminal "just fell off"...Need to solder on a new terminal kit!)
Just keeping you informed...
Pictures to follow.
