It's almost three years since this one was in driving condition - here's an old picture of a clean car back then:


And now:


Older pictures can be seen in my Picasa album and newer ones in flickr.

2018-06-29: Some cleaning of the engine block and removal of surface rust, seal cover with new seals. I also cleaned the oil pump intake filter and put it back on its place. It wasn't that bad, but since the oil sump was off I thought it would make sense to clean it.

Winter beater

Originally I bought this 745 for spare parts, but somehow it turned to be my winter beater for 2017-2018.


745 is such a fun car to drive in the snow...


This one did require some extended maintenance though:


Although it did pass the Finnish equivalent of a MOT test, it still has some rust and other issues. We'll see if I ever get inspiration to repair it to pass another MOT.
