Tonys 306 Cabby - Dead...

[insomaniac45]

I firstly must appologise for my lack of presence.

Things have been very busy round here, leaving me no time to do anything but sleep, eat, and house work.......


So, today me an the missus had a day off, so with her blessing, i was able to crack on, and get some real work done for a change.


Pictures tell a thousand words, well i must have used all them swearing while trying to get this B*****D out.......




Yes it is the lower engine mount. I didnt take the housing out of the car, as i didnt want to loose any G/Box oil. and i did swear quite a bit when i accidently hit my wrist with the hammer....

So, now she sports a nice new PowerFlex bush.



I also managed to get the drivers side wheel bearing changed today. I managed to get the swivel assy off quite easily, but from there i had to take that part to my local garage, where they charged me a drink to swap the bearings out

This is all i got from that part.



this was a bit of a bugger to remove, but with some hammering and persuasion bars she came out with in about 10mins.


I was also able to do this....



For any one that knows this car, there are 2 things different here.

1 - the tow eye is now straight, (yes so is the rest of the front now thanks to some rope, my big boxer, and a long bar.

2 - the passenger spot has been replaced. So she now has all her lights working... YaY


Also, i noticed the drivers door was about 3mm high. So i managed to sort that out, so now the body lines are all even,



I kept seeing it im my right mirror, seeing the top of the door higher than the body, along with the reflections being out of align. It was opne of those things that was getting to me, so i sorted it by adjusting the door hinges.

Thats about all for now, but hope to do the passenger side wheel bearing next wednesday.


Tony.
