    Thanks for all of the positive comments. Shocks and springs next on the list, and there are a few more manageable jobs to tackle, but the scary stuff is all sorted now. Big thanks to Neil and my current employers for making it possible to enjoy it once again.

    It's great your back, Niel! Not having to hassle with camera's seems to have enabled you to get some mighty fine work done. Like I said before: I wish you also did Citroën Xm's and lived near. I kind of get on by myself but last ime I brought my car to my "officialy designated mechanic" I got it back with superficially covered paint and bumper damage. Going back the guy was of course not aware of anything ever having happened! Such "proffesionals" can be found on every street corner. Niels are alas rarer!

    Welcome back Neil & I hope you had a good break from YT. I see you've been busy in the workshop these past few weeks & the GTV is looking stunning in it's restored bodywork and blue paintwork I like the new style of the video, especially the test drive, which seemed to indicate new rear springs & shocks are needed, to stop the tyres rubbing in the wheel arch. I hope the owner can arrange to have these items replaced in the near future.
    Please keep up the good work. 👍

    Thanks for the great series. I'm a Yank interested in importing GTVs and I expected some issues body wise-but when I see this-it gives me pause. Body work is a quick way to be upside down in a car trade. What do you feel the underlying cause of all the rust was? Was it-salty roads, was it-leaky water shields -window glass wipers letting water accumulate . It just looks crunchy-and Id expected this generation to be much improved

    • @dominikmustac9651
      @dominikmustac9651 3 года назад

      That means that some module was replaced in the past and the "proxy aligment" wasn't done. It can be done with anyone with multiecuscan. That procedure is to sync the module with the rest kf the car. If the proxy can't be done. It is probably a module from a different model. Example from a GT. Window modules are not compatible and also you can't do proxy if your tachometer is not from a 147.
