Decided to hang onto it for a bit and get some paintwork done on it.
The bonnet isn't very good with three dents from the inside out and could do with a repaint.
Few other bits need tidying, it's in good condition but it is a 31 year old car.
Will leave the arches as there's just some surface rust on the inside edge.
May as well leave them honest and original.
Drivers side window has packed up so need to sort that out.

Yes... I noticed SORN.
A 'how to' on the power window [c/w Piccies!] would be gr8.
A fix/bodge round as opposed to breaker/swap out...
I like *Lateral Thinking repairs
*read = free
GR8 stuff m8

There wont be any bodging, that's why a bodyshop is doing it.
I like the car and think it's worth sorting it all out.
As for the window switch will let you know how that goes.

Two wheels refurbed. They were pretty rough. Had a before pic a couple of weeks ago on phone but can't find it. Will take a pic of the other side before starting them.   |

Didn't set out to imply 'bodge repair' as $hite repair. Rather 'adapting/modifying/making something else fit' to fix a breakage - I have done it with NLS old bits myself. I put a plastic Y-tuning fork shaped piece on the wiper arm of an old Escort (under the dash) because the ball had worn away.... Cost 2p and saw the car away until the bridge! Great stuff on those wheels m8 OVIMOR |

Yes alright Ovimor, get what you mean  Can do most bits but not painting complete panels. Need the gear for that. Thanks, they did take a while to sort out, used a Dremel for the very awkward bits with a small bit. (well Dremel bits in a cordless drill) Lot of wire brushing and sanding. Saved a lot on getting them done so it's worth it. |

Need to find something suitable to fill the hole where the old head unit was removed by previous owner.
Any ideas?
Needs to be cheap, have looked at those retro headunits but too expensive for ones with a CD unit.
Must be able to play CD's.

I guess it depends on your definition of expensive but there are late 90's / early '00's double din Toyota head units with CD on ebay for £59.99 that look fairly retro-ish I think i have one in the garage that the CD is knackered, i think the radio works if i recall, you are welcome to have it to try it for fit / see if you like it to save you buying one to find out. I also remember my old boys '89 camry had a double din infil panel with the single din stereo fitted, i think the higher end GX models had a double, there may be an equivalent for the carina II,.

Funny because it had near enough the same Blaupunkt that Ovimor linked to. Have been looking at ebay under vintage and retro head units or CD players. Cheers though all the same Well yes, that would be cheap Neil. When I was a kid car audio gear was very expensive. You can get a perfectly good head unit for very cheap money these days. Most stuff like amps and speakers these days too and some good stuff too. Thanks for the kind offer Neil, Will see what happens and will be in touch if needed My Son has a head unit in his car and it doesn't even have a CD slot  Kids these days don't use CD's. LMAO.... |

Looks good Ovimor, I like what you have done I had near enough the same head unit as that in my old Nissan Micra. Was an N plate, I got it from my Nan when she gave up driving and kept it for a few years as a runabout until rust got to it in 2014. She had it since about 2000. |
