How much could I expect to pay for a front bumper and bonnet respray,

Major bonnet jealousy!

Yeah all very much DIY

If I was new to 1*2 ownership the first thing I'd do is preventative work. Check behind rear speakers for the beginnings of sill rust, remove and reseal the 2x black bungs on the boot shuts, check 3x scuttle drains aren't blocked. Heater box gasket is another, drying out a wet footwell in winter...

Discovered why I sometimes get a knock changing gear

Mine too, sorted now though. I've said that before too

Will Torque pro give a rough guide?

Out of interest what's the worst bhp figure people have had?

Those bumper brackets always suffer badly with corrosion

Yeah scuttle covers are worth keeping and door seals if they are good

Take a look at @MrCube182 guide

Yep, I'm hoping its sorted now. The rectangular hole where the blower enters in the bottom of the scuttle

Well it was coming through where I thought, not looked in the scuttle but what I dont get is that the heater matrix enters the footwell below the scuttle so how is water getting in via the scuttle?

@Stu. I'm not ruling out the windscreen leaking but I've had the dash top off e few times recently and not seen any signs of a leak up there. Just had another look, I wonder if it's coming through where the heater matrix enters the bulkhead. There is what looks like water track marks on it.

Yes it has, I hope that's not the case although a new screen would be nice. This ones rough already

This is doing my head in now! Car is parked pointing up hill, after I quick lunchtime investigation it seems water IS getting in through the bulkhead somewhere. All 3 scuttle drains are clear and not losing coolant so in guessing it's getting in through a bulkhead grommet. Attached a pic of...

This is unreal, well impressed! Question is will you ever want to use it?

Still painting calipers and replacing all seals while drying out my still wet footwells from when the door cards leaked😴

Priceless!😂😂😂

I'll have the bonnet😁

Went remove the passenger side caliper carrier to find some numpty had used a bolt of the wrong length and thread pitch, literally only into the hub by about 8mm. Anyone got a spare carrier bolt they'd post me? 🤞

Do you have the wrong size battery fitted?

It will fit in but it's a horrible design, then again the ph1 box wasn't the easiest to get into to change filters

Not wanting to bang on about it but I was going to mention the tree too. You must brick it in high winds

Didly squat, but hopefully tomorrow I will finish my caliper refurb if the weather behaves. Also got a 1.2 8v heatshield, new RS badge to fit and RStuner to play with.

Yeah I chucked it mate, bore was fine thankfully probably because the piston had been so far out on low pads.

Cant answer your question but I can confirm that they do a good job of holding water!

Get it red hot

It's more important what it's worth to you mate, ultimately it's still a LY 1*2

Headlight refurb, wax it and c4 all the black bits...be worth 10k then
