General Repairs Carried out


Below is a list of the repairs so far carried out and those outstanding and awaiting either opportunity or money to rectify.

There are a few known issues and defects which over time will be corrected, some of these are small paint issues wear and tear and non critical items. I am able to live with many of these as they are a natural consequence of this being an everyday car that will do a lot of mileage. Most will be corrected in due course but not if they mean the car off the road for a lengthy period
