Chris you gotta DO IT! Good for pub talk

People walking by can't gbelieve what i'm doing!

Oh btw people this is all being done OUTSIDE my house on the street (again)

**spanishfly** · 18-11-2006, 10:23

Robs advice, don't use tracksuit bottoms when welding/grindin! Ouch it hurts!!!

rob_lee_1 · 18-11-2006, 11:18

haha gay... get some manly jeans/overalls

**spanishfly** · 18-11-2006, 16:19

Todays update...
Got nearly all the rear half of the cars seams exposed, found that bit of rust is nothing with is good, needs a bit of treatment but metal is still there

Back with bit of rust...

So on to the fun bit of the day.. Front coilovers.
Wasn't as straight forward as we thought it would be, turns out the shock was too big for the top mount inserts and needed re-drilling to 13mm, after alot of REAL mincing about trying to make it 13mm using a 11mm bit we went to halfords and got a 13mm bit. Next problem struck, my fisher price drill didn't like taking 13mm of gurth and I had to use Doge5644's dads manly drill.

Me with said fisher price drill (has good RPM but only one speed

)

The new coilover next to the old crapover...

Ben liked the way we PRESSED in the bearings (sexy top mount)

Vices are good for many things...

I was so happy we were puttin on the wheel

(Ignore the jack thats how it sits.... or is it)

Was really good, we jacked up the o/s/f of the vehicle and the o/s/r was HIGHER than the o/s/f... that cage must be doing something?

Oh this is how it sits now....

Ben in front of the car..

And Doms (Doge5644) phone leaning against the front

Enjoy
