Bro's printer fixed, tills are ringing again, so he a happy boy :D

Why have you not got a lamda :o, or sideskirt clips?

Battery - I know I lent you a perfectly servicable one ;)


If you don't get an MOT on it shortly, your welding opportunity will have passed ;). Time is tight for that.

He just needs a helmet to match, and a long brown coat. I reckon he'd have a new vocation. :D

Be very careful jacking on the brake disc Tunnie. If you apply any jacking pressure at anything other than at right angles to the vertical plane of the brake disc, you are at severe risk of shearing the brake disc retaining screws, as I found out the hard way, or so i've been told. ::) ::) ::)

Yes it's only a 4 mill bolt. Although I think it's just supported ATM.

I used to think this sounded like a fairly easy job - I was planning on doing mine (very) soon..

Now I think it sounds like the hardest job I'm ever likely to need to do on a car... ;D

Done both sides last night, big thanks to TB  :y :y :y :y

To make life lot easier it needed shock taking out as well, when I was re-fitting the new one, it kept getting in way, with it removed the wishbone went in a lot easier as it was level.

Old bushes totally, totally shot. I think its about time to MOT project chav  :D :D

 :y Must get it done soon, before I put new boots on it. But I've been saying that for yonks  ;D need to do the clutch on the MR2 and put the exhaust/ECU/etc back on really so I can move it out of the way and work in the garage..
