Back on the road

JimE · 10-06-2013, 18:06

Well managed to get Mavis back on the road yesterday, over the last couple of weeks its had a new front cross member, front discs and pads, front shocks, front ARB drop links, ABS ring and changed the alloys to black steel wheels and painted the middle part of the grill black too... Time to give the wallet a rest till the end of the month.. Then dreaded road tax! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1370883977.461053.jpg

Have you noticed any difference with the handling since you did the rebuild.

It doesn't wallow around anymore like an old barge, feels tighter and more precise if that makes sense? So yes it certainly feels a lot better now than it did. I was starting to feel disillusioned with it as my old Mav was more surefooted on the road and drove better but since all the work and improvements I am loving it all over again.
