Got rid of my annoying clunk by tightening the wishbone bolts to the right torque setting. Fitted the shiftweight to my gearbox, makes a huge difference to the shift.

Refitted my Reiger grille as it never quite sat right.

Successful day. :)

first real chance i`ve had in the last month or so to get any work done on the old girl, i`ve managed to paint the rear axle after getting some new oe bushes fitted ( cheers john ), painted the new calipers, fitted the abs cages to the new rear discs, made up the rear brakes pipes, cleaned and painted stub axles.

made a custom dash board shell for our grad celebration bus (check it out at http://www.westwing06.com), and tried to trim it in beige leather-lookalike. Not too sure about the finish, but definitely not totally horrible.

 

I was supposed to rewire my stereo and fit audioscape pods today, but I never got around to it ;)

Binned all (well not all) the rusty bolts and screws in the engine bay and replaced them with nice shiny new ones, instantly makes the car look newer! :)

Not to mine, but replaced my sis's air filter and re-routed the engine breather hose to a catch bottle to stop the filter getting coated in oil, replaced the fuel filter, and fitted clear in-pros and clear side repeaters... cue one happy sister!
