When we first put Anges on the road I vertually rebuilt the front end.
Didn't want to replace a bit at a time and an alignment in between each.
It needed to be reliable, Ange got used to the heavy brakes without the booster and become accustomed to the difficult driving situations that can arise.
Tie rods inner and outer both sides, upper and lower control arms both sides.
Power steering control valve kit, couldn't get the ram apart so only changed the acordian boot.
New power steering hoses.
New brake cylinders, they looked and worked ok until i rolled the rubber back and found them leaking.
Brake shoes where near new as it arrived.
C4 gear box serviced. checked timing , new oil.
New fan belts.
Replaced the alternator as the diodes were popped.
New windscreen.
New headlihgts.
New Indicator switch mechanism.
Replaced the cracked steering wheel.
Replaced faded tail light lenses and rusty tail light housings.
Minor diff rumble and slight leak was ingnored as they can be like that for years.
New Handbrake cable this one was missing.
Rear spring shackle rubbers and reset.
New lap belts.
On the road..
Had receipts from 1994 ish showing the motor was recoed so I was confident we had a reliable car.
2 years driven daily far and wide.
Things that failed in that time were head light switch, window winder runners, electronic ignition module.
Radiator leak, flushed and resealed.
Fuses and fuse contacts.
The body looked straight with reasonable paint that deteriorated quickly.
Every time it rained the air vents would leak and only got worse.
Good luck,
Roger.
