Got a text last night works not being done today. Dropping it off at his at 10am tomorrow and he'll give me a lift to work and pick me up in the puma after work. He said he'd do a full day on the car.
ABS issue is getting worse, having to rely on the handbrake to stop the car after the speed drops below 10mph. Sometimes there's a creaking noise at low speeds 1-5 mph or so from the front of the car. When this occurs and I then apply the brakes, the ABS issue arises.
J reckons he can fit all the parts tomorrow (asides from the clutch). The main thing I'm hoping for is that these 3 new sensors fix the rough idling and low rpm judder. These problems have persisted since I got the car back, and until they're fixed, any other progress is going to feel a little hollow.
As for keeping the car long term, it's all still a little up in the air. Whilst the setbacks are out of my hands, they're the main reason the project has felt so emotionally exhausting.
At the end of the day I do enjoy the car, and I know I will love the car once all the problems are gone. It remains somewhat impractical in terms of interior space (being 6'4") and fuel economy. But I think I'd thoroughly regret parting with the car if I was to do so.
