About a week after I got my car a mate of mine drove it to see what it was like ..... and was disappointed as he reckoned it handled like a dog.

Over the months he's seen me doing various jobs to it and finally today he asked to take it for a spin to see if all my work was worthwhile.

He was impressed.

He reckons it's a transformed car.

While my work isn't fully finished yet (there's still one corner to be Powerflexed plus a few more bits too) I have done a lot of small (an relatively inexpensive) jobs to it since I got it.

I've replaced the springs, adjusted the shocks, fitted new anti-roll bar bushings, new suspension bolts, new Powerflex bushings, greased the steering rack and also a few other small things and it now seems that the work has been worthwhile.

I still need to get the last set of Powerflex's fitted and get the alignment re-done but I do reckon I'm well on my way to having a well-handling car.

Happy days ..... biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
