    Post

    Replaced : Control Arms x 2
    Ball Joints x 2
    New bushes x 4 (on control arms)
    Front wheel bearings x 2
    Strut mounts x 2
    4 Pirelli tyres, with alignment.

    Worst part?, Realizing I put up with its dodgy handling for so long.

    And today......The radiator fan motor let me know it needs replacement

    On the to-do list: more bird **** removal, attend to rust spot on the bonnet (not too sure how to go about this), put dash mat on, clean interior, check oil...

    Is it like the one I fixed on the previous page?

    I found it easier than I first thought.

    Not as big as your rust (fortunately) nor as deep. But I've got no experience with body work. Just stopping it from from get any worse would be a start.

    Here's how it looked a 3 or 4 months ago (not much has changed). It was caused by leaves being stuck to the bonnet for too long.





    Cheers, Stephen

    Thanks. What about fixing it in the long term? You can't really see from the pic, but the rust is actually raised up from the rest of the surface.
