Damn... why this is always happening to me...
Early this year I've set a goal to paint this car no later than may/july 2017 but on 16/08/2016 some curse word driver crossed the center line and ended scrapping my daily, then was the endless job to lookout another CK1A as I love them and I have loads of new and good used parts in case of needing them... Found one looking good for the Money, aka 500€, but as any 20 year old car it needed some love... not rust love but some mechanical love as it's got 320 000kms and some parts need doing like clutch, oil leaks, etc...
I'll put some pics of what it was, how it went, how it was resolved and how it is...

Can anyone help me?!?! What is the minimun thickness of the front brake discs?!?!? I got 21mm but I think it should be larger than that... I've checked the brembos and they say the minimun thickness is 22.8mm for the vented volvo 164 disc rotors...

That is very good price for those gaskets. Well done. I've already bought a set for the top that I won on ebay for 2.5€ + postage so gaskets are cheap... hehehe Every week I take 10 minutes on ebay and amazon to see whats cheap...

Another micro update... Carbs repaired as I found out the culprit... It was the washer that wasn't sealing properly in the fuel flow stopper so fuel was entering any way... All fitted, AGAIN, and it has a minor ehxaust leak to be addressed... Bought miself a crankcase gasket set from Elring 112.284 for about 8,65€ that includes something like this... As I need to change the crank seal that as a little leak to the gearbox and for this price I had to say yes...
