Sod all to my Omegas. Not even driven them.  Need to recover the Silver Bullet from Oxford at some point over the weekend.

Picked my £450 bargain 02 2.2 DTi GLS Estate up yesterday. Today i've replaced the front bumper, headlight and drivers side wing. Its now got HIDs and headlight washers, sun visors with lit mirrors and front fog lights. Just need to figure out how to replace the GID with a MID, luckily i've got an Elite that all the parts can be removed from :)

Finished my pass side wishbone ball joint replacement...

Be glad if I never do one of those again....bugger, another one to do!

Had to drill the rivet fully out, taking head off, and heat, and hitting was not enough.

Actually, reckon just trying another one, I would do it in a fraction of the time with improved technique, not trying to do it on the car etc.  plus Ive never done a wishbone on my own before.

The old one was totally shot, no wonder it was clunking!

Vac'd and halfheartedly washed TBE. Vac'd the Silver Bullet.

Been playing with another NCDC+CID, all now depaired, just need to fix the CDC loading mech.
