Aparently, Nissan claim its colour is 'Azure' but my eyes tell me its kinda turquoise! LOL!
Anyway, after the disappointment of the SLX and its surprising condition I've bought this 5 door S reg GX which needs loads of work!
Here it is...
Looks ok, doesnt it? Well it isnt!
Started by getting it off the ground and checking out the usual areas, like the crossmember...
Oh dear! Taking the bumper off didnt make it look any better...
Moving on, we looked at the sills, specifically the rear section, in front of the rear wheel arches. Here is the drivers side...
The passenger side rear is much the same. Actual wheelarches, rear floor and front of sills are ok so I suppose I should be grateful.
Onto the mechanical bits...
Siezed brake caliper slides? Check!
Worn pads? Check!
Juddering discs? Check!
Burst CV boots? Check!
Noisy outer CV joints? Check!
O/S track rod end hanging off? Check!
Handbrake cables sticking? Check!
Wheel cylinders leaking? Check!
Shoes worn to nothing? Check!
Brake pipes rotten? Check!
