i made an error and booked my MOT a bit to early so had to cancel that today,
so instead i took the time to fit the B8's with Euback springs that i have refurbished.
i bought these second hand and when they turned up they were in poor condition once i stripped to inspect them

so i decided to refurb them with a good clean with electrolisis then rust treatment and a coat of paint
