Nice one, proper job :D

Looking at your tyres, you up for a bit of laning sometime :?:

I contemplated taking out the headlining and seats and steam cleaning them. Instead I finished wiring the lights and sockets in the garage.

Now I can remove them in warmth and light to steam clean them! :D :D :D
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Them bolts never come out first time. I did the same. Fortunately they arent a funny size and you can usually spin an M8 down a few and weld internally to turn them out.

You get yours out Ste? or still having a fight?

Started ripping the gearbox out at 1pm to replace the clutch.
Weave came round at 7.30 and i'd refitted the gearbox, and all the interior, fitted the 2" coil lift and wound up the front.

Not bad for an afternoons work. :D :D :D :dance: :dance:
