i cracked on with some work saturday night while the mrs was out sloshing it up and i had some MORE peace and quiet !!

 

i removed all the suspension along with the subframe, shes got one brand new bottom arm and the other is fine, one new track rod end the others shagged along with the drop links which are also shagged so new will be fitted. im a bit confused with what to do with the inner steering joints as they have a VERY SLIGHT play which is nothing basicly not even a mil but can feel that little bit is this normal? are they starting to wear? if they are starting to wear i will probaly change them as its all apart and so much easier.

 

i removed the master cylinder in order for a new resivour and MC to be fitted. i sorted some of the bodys wiring out and just led it across the windscreen in an organised mess lol. The subframes going up at work for a good steam off and a lick of paint before refitting, also the bay is going to be painted before i start reassembling everything.

 

next step is the pedal box and servo removal, im going to be using a be3 gearbox and this was a be1, will a new be3 cable fit the be1 pedal? i will look into this.

 

anyway! as it stands below! :)
