Well, i have just found 2 new monroe shocks for the rear, and have got my friend to look for 2 new front as well. i have new silver trims for front and rear screens. we have done some more welding under the bonnet, and on bottom of the front wings, new brake pipes from servo to wheel all round, and picked up new flexi hoses both front and single rear. !! yay so after giving the old girl a good service to all brakes, at least i can stop her on the nose!
i also, have been rubbing down some ruff spots, someone has had a small prang in it i think as some of the filler is really not smooth. bit of digging to be done there i guess.
oil changed and filter, that was fun with a cartridge filter, i made a type of funnel and cable tied it onto the side of the engine so that ALL the oil went into my tray. not too much mess at all. lots of the front suspention has been rubbed down and rust treated, and a tin of hammerite smooth black to be brushed on . so it all looks pretty down there. track rod ends, and upper and lower ball joints to be replaced, top were ok but while its in bits why not hey? the hardest thing to remember is to take pics.lol. start to crack on and i forget. 4x 165/70/13's have been bought, ready for when the wheels have been shot blasted and powder coated. i have so many bits on the shelve's i just want to put them on, but that old crusty brown stuff needs to BE GONE first.. looking into how much the finishing touches of welding and the final spray job will be so i can save up my ..... ever decreasing pocket money .
Well, its a slow thing , which is prob best as i wont have to tear it all apart again too soon. but,, we are getting there slowly.....
