so another saturday gone and some more work completed.

today we:

- put the boots on the cv's and re-packed them with grease
- replaced control arm bushes both inner and rear
- mounted new struts/springs
- mounted front sway bay

we were aiming to mount the hub and bolt up all the new brakes but the fitting on the hub was for a diesel ball joint which is larger than the petrol ball joint which was on the control arms i used, which really brought the day to an end. so i'm going to get new diesel ball joints (just a little stronger - especially as im planning to hit up the track) mount the hub/brakes etc this week.

also rear sway bar is going in soon and new gear shift bush kit.

ps. took a few pics of my cousins/mechanics ahah daily mk1 gld which is sacked on its ass, took a few photos of the oil sump in relation to the road lol - thought you guys might like these.

Hah, Steve's front spoiler didn't look like that before he lowered it.

[dubmc]

ahah just a matter of time before that rips off, scrapped the bottom of it all the way into my garage. still i wouldn't change it no way

[dubmc]

tie rod arms, rack boots, diseil ball joints. also new front bearings today, bit pricy but hopefully all worth it.

itching to get the front mounted up but have ran into a few small issues, hopefully on friday i can do it all.
