Well week 11 update seems to be all about new parts.
It's a bit of a long story but when I bought the Sabre the guy selling it said he had a box of new parts that would be included. The problem was that when it came to delivering the car he couldn't remember where the box of stuff was. It's taken a long time but finally I picked up the box of bits yesterday.
I took the big box home and it was like a Christmas tombola as I gradually pulled out each small package to discover what I had. When the box was empty I had nearly covered our kitchen table with lights, trim and all kinds of fittings and spare parts. It will probably save me a few hundred pounds in the rebuild.

He also had a new'ish petrol tank which will replace the bent one on the car.

I also picked up on ebay a reconditioned power steering rack for only £24!!
I've now got to find some pipes and hoses which will probably cost more than the rack!
