It's been awhile since the last post as the family has been busy and I've been slack. I am now back on the mission. We sent the X7 away for a paint job, the wife said green so green is what we got, tree frog green! Our official name for the car is the "X7" but it seems that a pet name has arisen due to the colour - the "Golblin", after the Green Goblin of Spiderman fame. A number plate may reflect this in the future.


I've posted a photo of the X7 arriving back home and a couple sitting in the garage. I actually like the series one bumper arrangement with the black matching the green, I'll try to keep the black when we install the front windscreen surround.

Next we'll look at the brakes as the car being nearly 30 years old and only 108,000kms I suspect that it has spent a great deal of time sitting doing nothing. So we'll pull the wheel hubs apart and check the bearings and brakes, replace if need be. I've already discovered that the brake master cylinder is siezed and will need to source another one.
