If their anything like my old one it was 1 bolt through the towing eye.

Looks smart!

[Dum-Dum]

Nice knob but isnt reverse in the wrong place?

Cheers man

If you do it the proper way... A pain in the arse as it's awkward. Probably bumper off. If you do it like a pikey/me, big cable tie and easy.

I will get around to doing it properly at some point, as I don't have a tow eye on the front.

Erm, no...?

[Frosty]

i am tempted to have a go at putting 1 on. they are only a tenner so that aint to bad!

keep up the good work with the car!

[Curt]

Yeah go for it! Mine is just for aesthetics at the moment because I'm a fanny.

Will do my best!



Finally sorted my reverse lever properly today. Problem is, as they're made for handle bars, the gear stick is too thin for it to clamp to. I did originally have it on the black part which the lift reverse collar sits over... But this caused issues as that was too low, the lever hit the centre console. So I had to mount it higher. I did pack it out with electrical tape, as a testing-the-water bodge. It worked but I needed something better, as over time and heat the tape spiralled down the stick in a fairly comical fashion. So then I bought a gear stick sleeve, which after some modification (with an angle grinder) fitted. Which was great, for a day. Then the securing grub screw stripped the thread in the sleeve (it's only ally). So, back to square one. So I decided to use rubber, as my idea is to not actually change anything on the car, so it's reversible.

So I had an old Poweflex dogbone mount bush from my Audi...

Hole saw'd me a hole:

   

Then after drilling a hole, and a fair bit of sanding I had this:

   

Which works perfectly.

Also fitted the black collar instead of the titanium one that was on. Can't be bothered to explain why it was titanium.

Excuse the poor phone pics...

Matt came round today to help change my wishbones because I still have a spastic hand.

Had some fun and games but we got there... No pictures or anything because it's boring.

But whilst we did that Katie wanted to paint my calipers red, and they came out really well:

   

   

Pictures behind the wheels tomorrow, still drying at the moment.

[4WayDiablo]

[Matt]

Glad we got the wishbones sorted

Won't be getting more pictures today, it's pissing down and the car is staying where it is, on stands.

[Matt]

Lazy fucker. get on and do it. Only gotbto put the wheels on.
Katie can hold an umbrella while you do it or vice versa

[Poodle]

Hold on, just realised something. Matt did work while you watched!?! Somethings gone horribly wrong...

[Niall]

[Fozzy]

Get out in the rain curt, pics needed with wheels

[Matt]

Haha f*ck you guys. Did te work together. Haha

I only normally sit and watch if i havent got a clue what to fo

[Curt]

Haha it was indeed a team effort. Plus Matt found a new phone storage solution...

Oh and no, f*ck that, I'm staying inside

[Matt]

f*ck yeah while working under the car wedging the phone between the subframe and steeringrack. Can text and everything haha

[Poodle]

I only normally sit and watch if i havent got a clue what to fo

So what's the difference between that and "all the time"?

[Matt]

Well i do actually have some mechanical knowledge believe it or not.
The times when i sat back watching is when i hve zero idea or the job only requires one person to do.
Most ofbthe time i will help out if needed.


Also no one sees the work i undertake on my car....

[Curt]

Just come on for some trolling Alex? Actually, that's no different from normal...



Matt I think someone's on the wind up haha, we all know you're extremely helpful and capable

Especially with large hammers...

[Poodle]

Mebbe...

Hahaha he is that, and with tomato sandwiches too.





Sorry Curt, will stop spamming now. Probably...

[Matt]

Large hammers and tomato sandwiches are my forte

[samass]
