WA: Back doors 'Boring'

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

So, had a mate come round to try and tackle the timing chain only to realize i didnt have enough parts so we decided to tackle the suspension project instead. Very long day in the heat which wasn't nice and only managed to get one corner done, Mind you it was the hard corner. This included taking the old strut out, taking the control arm out and replacing bushings, new sway bar link, steering links and some other bushings and installing the new KW V2 suspension which is a pain as i can't do the strut top nut up due to it not being an Allan key in the middle due to the adjustablility factor. Anyway pictures as much of today is the same

Strut out with spreader in (I.e screwdriver )

Lots of different parts

Did much the same on it yesterday but ran into a few problems. First being the shock that didn't want to come out followed by the control arm bolt that couldn't come out due to the oil pan then the measured tie rod end that has stuffed the alignment and last but not least folding the thread on the 10.9 bolt on the rear that connects the sway bar, shock and hub together. So cars staying on jack stands for another 2 weeks whilst im away and not getting fixed like i would have hoped.

So, Not much progress as of late. Been away due to work so mainly getting the body work completed. Incoming is a big brake kit and a slight upgrade on the rear that should have been done long ago as my brakes are getting quite worn. Turbo planning in the process but not sure when its going to take off due to budget blow out.

Thinking about getting some new headlights thought but unsure between these two.

Nice, Choose the cheapest ones i like the two headlights next to each other but dont like the light above.

No ifs about it, Its happening . Weather my car will be there will be another question.
