Been a member on here for a good few years now and always enjoyed looking in the project sections to see other peoples cars so thought it was about time I started a thread for my self.
So me baby is a 1990 Raider which I picked up from the middle of Leicester around 18 months ago. In Hindsight probably wasn’t the wisest of purchases and could have got a lot better for the money but foolishly got a one way ticket to go and view with the intent to buy as looked really good in photos. Unfortunately viewed at night and the guy I bought it off had gone out of his way to cover up problems with the car. For example siliconed a metal plate over the front jacking point to cover up the bad rust! Looked like they had gone to quite a lot of trouble and done a good job to be honest!
It made the 3 hour journey home with out any problems but was very drafty once we got on the motorway, far more drafty than it should have been! On inspection in the daylight the next day found out the wind screen rubber was missing and the windscreen wasn’t held in by much and was cracked! First job, new windscreen which cost £120 for someone to come to our house and fit. Also changed the bonnet to a spare standard one as the current had vents and wanted the car looking as standrad as possible.
More to follow.
