today was a bit hit and miss sadly, We did plan on turning the metro around today, but with the car having big tyres on, and been decked, we had no chance, so I swopped over to the gta rims, that have a smaller tyre wall but wider, and it was the same story,
We had the arch clearance, but not the radius part, where with the skinnys with the larger walls had arch clearance problems,
So I jacked the car up ready to drop down the rear subframe, I managed to get off a few bits ie the exhaust and the rear can hangers,
Then I moved onto sorting out a fault with the boot lock, which just needed a tweak.
I cleaned down the bolts for the subframe so, that we can wind them off.
laugh is we go two off, but the other two have odd sizes, one I think is well odd,
they are going to have to be drilled out sadly,
So that came to a dead stop, as we need drill bits for that!
I decided to make a start on tiding up the car, and binning tighten, and refitting stuff in the car and engine bay,
mainly bits of trim, inside the car. so that all was put back in the cockpit,
Then I went under the bonnet, and had bit of a tidy there, I robbed some bits of clips and pipe brackets from the egg beater, which I will show you tomorrow, as I am going to start some wiring tiding,
got an idea of fitting an engine bay light, as I have a glove box system that I think I can use, if not I will see if we can re mod that again in to the box.
so stick with me lads,
if I get the chance, I may hook the fuel lines to the tank, shove the exhaust on, and see it if fires!
