So a wee bit of an update I guess?
I'm crap at keeping this sorta stuff up to date... But basically after introducing my car to a kerb, I thought I'd finally better get a new set of wishbones on, even though I couldn't see any damage, I had a split balljoint boot, so went about it and did them anyway...

Notice Darren having lots of fun with a 1989 moped LOL!

So when I hit that kerb, maybe I did more damage than I originally anticipated - that bend in the P bush is from where the wishbone got shoved back SO hard it bent it!! Proves that OE wishbones are unbelievably strong, the force to have done that is unreal!!!
I'm amazed it didn't snap that clean off the car...

However, drives mucho better now, it's like new again, just needs a spot of alignment, wheels balancing again (fooking cyclones) and it'll be right as rain.
And a new engine and bigger turbo... But that's for another update.
