Well the Wedge is back on the road for a short time following the front suspension rebuild. The steering is still heavy when parking but feels 100% better than it did. Just got the Top UJ to replace now and that should be coming on Tuesday.

Even managed to get out for a little blast round Cannock Chase with the roof down. Brilliant!

The Wedge even has a lovely new set of wheels to replace those nasty Cerb ones, thanks to form member in Wales with a taste for shall we say altering cars to make them something a little different. Cheers Kev that Sebring WAS350i is going to be something else. I shall look forward to trying to keep up with it in the Summer.



And to top a great day I even managed to find the floor in the Man cave. After a couple of months littered with MR2 Turbo parts followed by a few weeks being littered in TVR parts it nice to be able to get in there again.



Thanks for all the help and advise so far. Really looking forward to some of the smaller enjoyable jobs now. The centre console re-veneer is next. But if I don't get some decorating done first my Wife will probably set fire to the Wedge biggrin

Mate

It absolutely never looks like that. I give it 48 hours and it will be a dump again!

It's just not in my nature to tidy as I go. Must get the job done and worry about the mess at the end. Took me about 3 hour to get it looking like this. But strangely only seems to take a few minutes to mess it up again biggrin

I'm glad the wheels went to a good home, because that car really does look well with them. It's funny that they looked no where near that good on my dark blue 350 se, so must be the colour contrast. You may have to invest in wheel locks now!
