Genuine wishbones blasted to base and powder coated with uprated R32 rear bushes and genuine front bushes, all ready to fit as part of my subframe replacement project.

 

Might as well do it properly :-)

Cleaned up edges and corners behind doorlocks, wheel arch edges, behind petrol flap, draincornersin front of doors edges, underside of doors etc. Then wnet looking at two Dino 246GT. Nice cars ;)

Now I'd better go lube the spoiler preventative ;)

Went to long life in Bicester to have an exhaust made/fitted this morning. Changed one of the heat shields whilst the exhaust was off. I'm well happy with the sound of the new exhaust, just a little bit louder than standard, but burbles, it's the dogs testicles I think.

Replaced a split outer CV boot. Was going to take pictures but managed to drop the wheel on top of the camera. It'll take more than superglue to fix it. Bu**er. I needed it for tonight.

Yet again, I have sorted yet another problem today out on the Corrado. My rear spoiler kept blowing fuses on the way down, I'd had a quick look at it but couldn't find any problems. So with yet more time on my hands(other half Pi**ed me off again) I took to the garage. Removed the rear spoiler completely, and stripped it down. What a mess, 18 years of use and no maintenance. Cleaned, re-greased and re built. Re-fitted to the car and checked operation on the switch, A BIG HAPPY GRIN, as It worked. Everything refitted, and a road test, just to make sure. I love time off work for Corrado maintenance :dance:

 

I have taken a few photos, but am having trouble up loading them
