So I improved on my previous attempts at mid box back boxes. I cut the strap holding the hangar off the original box and then stuffed a mid box inside it then used a large jubilee clip to hold it together. To finish it off I added the down turned tip off the old box
While I wasn't going anywhere and it was sunny and relatively warm I decided to give the front grille a quick blow over to match the rest of the car, its not the worlds best job but then I didn't sand it or clean it before painting lol.
For the second time since I've lived here I've dropped a car off axle stands. I really need to start working up and down the hill rather than across it. Fortunately no damage to the car.
And here she is sitting pretty on her 6 beam. Its turned out at a 60mm drop (it was 40mm on the 6) but I'm tempted to drop her another 20mm.
Its been a long day with the threads in the hubs being a little rusty and the screws in the disc not wanting to come out coupled with having no sharp drill bits. Didn't get a chance to do the front braided hoses and one of my hand brake cables has come up miles too short and the other really long so I've spent £20 on a new pair of Pagid ones from ECP.
Hopefully just a couple of hours work tomorrow morning and I can set about cleaning the car.
