lh_4827's HDi project

[lh_4827]

so i set off to the on-line autosport warehouse on Friday night to do a bit of work to a friends car ready for a road rally tonight and replace my handbrake cables for the MOT.. what actually ended up happening over 2 days was this:

the car was jacked up to have a look at the drivers side driveshaft, where it entered the speedo drive housing, as the speedo didnt work.



i needed to put one of these into the housing..



then we found a set of these which i had had ordered in from germany. i havent paid for them yet, but the owner (friends dad) said i can fit them anyway, and pay him when i can:



the old struts were a bit minging, and were a total slag to get out:



they looked well sexy once built:



and just as good on the car:




we finally got round to looking at the speedo too, and found this in the speedo housing:



no wonder it didnt f*cking work..

also got round to the handbrake cables, but thats boring lol.

friday night we started at about 9, finished at 2am, them commenced at 11am on saturday, finishing at 8 on my car..
