plans. get mot and tax then raise back end

They aren't to bad them fixes should be easily done in a day or two. Not long now then it's back in the road for you.

dont look to bad. you need to get some challengers back on her imo.

Nothing to bad there atall mate. Alot but nothing major, id be quite happy with that as nothing painfull .there and tbh a few things that you should have picked up before hand springs/tyre.

Also im with kingy, challengers looked better on this IMO

im on the look out for some more challengers .

got the ball joints today so car should be ready tomorrow to re book the MOT

well here is todays jobs. didnt help not having the right tools but managed what i could today.
Brake load sensing valve seized, wd40 and abit of a wiggle and she freed up

Nearside Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint, the ones i bought didnt fit so had to get some more before the place shut. then to find my wheen bearing on its way out

Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt, done

Nearside Rear Rear brake binding, done cable was easy. getting the rest back together was a pita
Advisory Notice issued

Nearside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded, gf cleaned them up with copper grease

Offside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded, gf cleaned them up with copper grease

will be going to finish it of tomorrow after work.

car nearly done now. went over after work for abit. got another hub from the breakers and the bearing is perfect no play at all. took her for a spin round the block and seemed to pull quit well so the rear brake binding must have been really bad and slowing the car down. going to sort a time for the retest tomorrow as i didnt have time today then saturday morning adjust the lights and get the wheen but back on with the good tyre .

well the car has a 12month ticket and 6months tax . drove to the MOT station with some epic noises got back home jacked up the car to have a look and some little twats undone my wheel. was on by a few threads so could have fallen off. but all sorted out now . will get piccys later

went for a drive to the moor's to get a few pics. was a ok drive but the car is doing crap. no boost as usual . heres pics of mine and a mates 306

Your two rear ends look like they both need to meet in the middle lol
Good job on getting mot though, looking forward to seeing/testing it again a hdi front mount

Glad you got the MOT and the boost issue sorted matey

well no big updates yet apart from the passenger brake line decided it dint want to work anymore so went and bought one this morning and fitted it. feels nice to have brakes again

not much of a up-date yet again but gave the car a polish and fitted a new bottom arm today and it feels so much better. the steering wheel doesnt throw its self about anymore . will upload pics through the week.

hi guys few pics up. woke up this morning and some one had nicked my cover of my fuel cap :mad: not to botherd but its not the point the thieving twats. any ways gave the car a service, wash and polish . car looks a dog with the front bumper. really unhappy with it so going to the spray shop monday to get a quote. not to sure what i want doing with it yet. also fitted a laguna splitter but its not my cup of tea. hers pics of what i rememberd to take .

not updated much recently. noticed water coming in my boot the other day. stripped it all out and found out its because i have no rear arches so i will be going to get some. on the good side the rear passenger panel is solid . also got a twin exit powerflow back box witch should be fitted tonight so will upload pics tonight .
