busy weekend

[exosteve]

just trying pull meself together after a bottle of red last night
takes longer these days.
then its time to fit a full exhaust take me front arb off ready for drilling bigger holes and fitting the new upgraded drop links.but before that im having a few bits powder coated.
ive got to do a few other bits and bobs like changing the wishbone washers on the bushes as they snapped and a few bits to me boot.
then tomorrow me mate elty is comin over and we are goin do the front torsion lift.
ive got me +3" rear springs and just need me shocks to complete a full 5" lift

Tools are still in boot from last time lets hope it stays dry this time

forecast good but cloudier. got me charcoal and burgers ready big fat gourmet jobbies

got me exhaust on but its standard at the mo with just one box less in the middle section. still want to put a different end bit on yet but at least its not killing me with fumes now.

tried fixing me wishbone washer to find out they aren't washers but actually welded to the chassis that have worn away

I got me drop link bushes made and ready to fit

and I tweeked the turbo up a notch or two and yes its a noticeable difference

even had time to give the old girl a wash

[elty001]

I will run through that ford a couple of times on the way up to yours to give mine a wash

no not here.
the bit that's got big fat rubber bushes on that is welded to the chassis.
once you remove the bar and bushes it leaves the fixing point with a cup type washer welded either side of the fixing.
this has been very worn.
probably in the 12 months of my ownership. I need to beef it up
