To Do List

(feel free to contact me if you spot anything you have for sale)

Short term:

soft top isn't folding away nicely -bent/warped? cover won't click down

Passenger window switch is temperamental

Wiper's rest position is too high up windscreen

Washer/Wiper stalk very wobbly and too sensitive

Door cards are coming away - need new plastic wotsits

Get wood made for boot floor

Check condition of soft top

Clicking noise from steering inside car when turning (related to stalks?)

Rear ashtray missing, replace it with something?

Backlit dash - would be nice! lol

Longer term:

Get air-con fixed (longer term probably)

Investigate re-spraying (longer term)

Plastic bit around gear selector needs gluing back down

Need T-bar grear selector to replace sad little knob

Recondition wheels (or spend a few hours cleaning them at least)

The black seal around the windscreen might need redoing

Some Stag branded mudflaps would be nice

Replace stereo head unit with traditional radio/tape deck
