What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
So last night, contemplating my Nitrons that got shipped to Glasgow, (not Surrey!) I decided to fit my set of a Monos that had just been returned from GAZ, (returned to them as valving wrong and they were rattling).
Fitted springs on dampers and units to the car in record time, (I'm a dam pro now!).
Wifey and daughter up at some ghey musical so as I hadn't driven the car for a while, set out on a 3 hour drive to the south coast, South Downs following mainly country lanes with roof off.
Great drive, Monos performed impeccably and were quiet!
So when the Nitrons arrive, I can repeat the procedure and swap dampers again. No wonder I dream about suspension

So much for getting my build completed over the Easter break ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Spent another 10 hours today cleaning and polishing bits, its a knackering but I quite enjoy it, should really get an electric polisher though. Paint stripping loads of bits that were sprayed purple for some reason then polishing the alloy as it was badly corroded. Might actually start putting her back together after painting the chassis tomorrow.
Had the sisters pup to keep me company, and get in the way

Awwww, look at the lil puppy He likes you, he's got his lipstick out
Got a little bit bored earlier waiting for food to cook so dug out the left over epoxy mastic paint stuff from the chassis and painted the wishbones Alexc1894 kindly supplied me with. A mate gave me a wicked tip to get all of the waxoil off, left them sitting in his parts washer covered in degreaser for half an hour and it all just wiped off. I never knew degreaser removed the stuff so easily
Still waiting for the bushes to turn up, I guess I was being optimistic seeing as I only ordered them on Monday
They will be the prettiest things on the car when I finally fit them.
