Whilst having a look at front geometry (too much negative camber, which causes it to tramline/bumpsteer a lot) and fitting new Lotus spec top mount washers to stiffen it up a bit, it was also pointed out that the idler arm 9095731 had a lot of play in it. When we got it off, it looks ok so it must be that the rubber bush has gone soft.  Of course a new part is NLS, so I ordered a Mevotech one (MS50901) on Thursday from Rock Auto (Cadillac Catera part) and it arrived at 12.30 on Monday £67 landed total.  In fact from the Rock Auto site also listed a Lemforder alternative (1492701), and it turns out they are available from Nottingham for £58 .  New one is now fitted and seems better than the old one in terms of vertical play, which should help the bumpsteer. Now just waiting for new front discs and pads and I'll be able to give it a try.

Spotted some flowers and balloon going through the office today (maybe yesterday, it's been a long week) made me wonder if word had gotten round.

Yep, word travels fast where you both work! The flowers are now residing in our living room, stinking the place up

After chopping the rot out of the spare wheel well, welded new metal in.


Im not the worlds neatest welder, but I think a few coats of paint, will make a welder what he aint.


As Im a half crippled old fart, I was knackered when I finished, but hope to paint it and tidy up underneath tomorrow.
Then the search goes on for any more rust to chop out. Sometimes not sure why I bother, but it has to be better than sitting indoors watching dickheads real deal and other assorted shite.

Further progress has been made.
Welded area painted, but not happy with it as I had almost run out of paint, so will probably do it again.


Sill covers removed. Found flaky paint and surface rust, but nothing horrific. ground surface rust off, applied Bilthamber Hydrate 80 all over, sprayed Supertrol in all the drain holes, cavities etc. Then sprayed the affected areas with stone chip.








Im pretty confident that will hold the rust back for years to come.
Cant refit the plastics due to rain, so decided to give them a coat of paint and a couple of coats of lacquer.




More rain predicted tomorrow and back on nights for five nights from tomorrow night, so probably this time next week before I have a chance to refit the plastics.

Well done
tre bon Monsieur Le Frog 
looks like you've been transporting body parts 
 so, you need a drain hole in the wheel well ,to wash out all the blood and guts 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Don't use the Mig for that sort of thing. I can borrow a van from work for that.

I;ll be taking my sill covers off again pre MOT
I did the same as you last year but will check and re-apply supertrol each year
