after a long time of once again just enjoying the Rallye it is time again to do some maintanence work.
The first thing planned was to replace my old knackered suspension
think we can agree was pretty much dead
while at it I also carried out a full rebuild on my calliper as i was getting some wobbling under hard braking
With the mechnical work done for now my attenetion turned to the sorry state my badge was in, so in typical hovis style when in comes to painting i got a TAD carried alway
With that lot looking better than planned I then managed to get hold of a carbon grille to match my bonnet which looked ace but left the slam panel plus some other parts in the engine bay looking a little dull so the first thing was the cam covers then the slam panel.
With that looking better my next thing to paint was the strut brace
With that looking good I decided I didn't like the look of the grubby heatsheild so I purchased a stainless steel one, looks great but it can rattle abit so will need looking at again at a later date.
Engine bay looking all tarty I gave her a well deserved wash
:thumbsup :love
Apart from the visual side of things I also recently fitted some new rear calipers and new selector bushes.
thats all for now B)
