The dog rough estate

[DeeTurbo]

Well it got me there and back without issue, 2 and a half hours each way.

I didn't get chance to have a shake down since removing the engine and rebuilding the rear axle, so I was lucky.

On the Saturday I raised the rear height, replaced the bodged fuel pipes with proper fuel pipe and clamps and I had a look at the brown relay, cleaned the multi plug with contact cleaner but no joy.

I've got a relay on order from JamesG and the ABS sensor arrived today.

You can see from the above photo how silly the wheels look at the moment, I can't wait to get that sorted.

When I was jacking up the one side to work on the rear one of the drop links on the front broke! they were both new and only fitted when I put the new springs on so they had 0 miles on them.



I found it broken at 4pm on the Saturday so I had to drive it without.

The car ticked over 220k on the trip.


The loved next to the neglected (this was taken before I raised the rear)


The engine sounds so much more tired then the one in my hatchback.
