| Thats un polished dude, but it is a nice day haha! Lookin at welding O/S channel, some inner wing work, area behind battery and same n/s, thats just for starters. All wings are scabby, the engine is a runner but untested due to intermittent starter motor, some electrics work some dont, its on 155/15's at the mo but not gonna blow budget on superficial things, just gonna try get the MOT essentials nailed first. Looks worse than it is i reckon, but none of its a surprise or nasty shock, just an opportunity to get grinding and practice welding! So far i have... Ripped the shite interior out, removed running boards and placed them in my bin and poked and prodded areas. More updates soon!  |

I doubt it will be the starter motor, its usually voltage drop caused by dodgy wiring or a crap ignition. There are 2 tests for this, one involves shorting out 2 connectors on the back of the ignition, with the key in the normal running position (if it turns then its just the ignition switch) if that dont work you can short out 2 connectors on the starter/solenoid (dont try this unless you are sure you have the right ones and a suitable bit of wire or you may need that extinguisher) Also a fully charged/known good battery helps.

Good advice dude, some ignition monkeying and a fully charged secondhand 065 i nicked from work and starting a treat now.
Put £5 of clean fuel in and ran engine for bout 10mins then emptied oil and put fresh in just to run and then flush through, loads of gunk very black but no smoke and ran surprisingly smoothly. Only mishaps are one nut running round before refilling with oil but a few washers will sort that, and dash light staying on so next step is to test if battery is charging...
