GSI no: 2.

Post by iangsi »

Here's my 2nd GSI had it since late November 13 been off the road since, now taxed for 6 months hoping to find a garage to store it in before winter arrives again. It's had only 1 owner from new, the guy was 84 when I got it, must of bought it as a retirement present for himself. It needs lots of little bits & pieces doing I think it's been a bit neglected, seems solid underneath though as it was stored in a garage when it wasn't doing it's 103,000 miles

I think it's stayed standard this long it be a shame to mess with it, may put a de-cat pipe & a K & N filter in the airbox for now.

Well leaving it standard didn't last long, while sorting my ABS problem I noticed a hole in the short pipe going into the backbox with time short as the dreaded MOT is due next week I bought the Sebring one joecavaliersri had for sale so here's the pics.

I have also removed the old alarm as I couldn't get it to work.

It's got a nice burbble to it not to loud.

Well it failed the MOT on a split steering rack gaiter with no advisories, so need to source a gaiter set to fit at the weekend.

Not much of an update since attending Beaulieu in July I've done a few little jobs tidying it up & trying to source bits, got a headlining to fit. The battery died this week so got a new Bosch one fitted now.

polhill show? tell me more please! Just had a look at your picture of your 3 cavaliers together, I'm sure i've met you. Did you sell some door cards on ebay about a year back? If you did, i was the one that got them, still not fitted them yet though :)
