Took the old girl to work on Monday because I left the van door open in the rain all night on sunday and didn't fancy a wet arse.
Seeing as it was at work I made it earn its money like the rest of us.

A bit of scrap lead and copper and some wood for the log burner.
Made the rear sit just right.

The epicly comfy interior, this will be staying.

Decided to have a look at the shocking brakes and found the discs and calipers to be in poor condition. These will be replaced as the seals were shot in the calipers, one was sticking on and then the bleed nipple snapped.
Discs look like they had the wrong pads in for a while then the right ones put on but it was too late for them.

Handling is generally pretty good but there is a knocking coming from the n/s strut/spring area that turned out to be shot top mount bearings and bushes and there was a nut/bolt missing from the strut top. (On the right in the pic.) Will be replaced obviously.

Also, binned off the air filter assembly for moar wooshy noisez.

That's as far as I got so far, GT20 should be here tomorrow. That'll keep me quiet for a little while.
List to do so far goes :-
Brake upgrade and overhaul,
Fix top mount issues,
Intercooler fitting,
Wastegate turbo and Bosch pump,
VNT turbo after I learn what I'm doing with it a bit more.
Over n out.
