#173420 Thanks guys.

I will get some proper pics up soon, when I can drive to a good location.

Why would you wana trade NY for the UK?? It shouldn't be called England, it should be called Rain-land. I just hope we have a better summer this year. Last year we had about a week or two of summer weather.

I Apologise how grainy the pictures are. Im only using a 8mp phone camera. I really need something better, but I hope these show a better portrait of the car.

Thanks guys. Next thing Im doing Is sorting the front end out. The bumper mount has dropped due to a bump the previous owner has had.

For the moment since having the car I've:

1. Took off the but ugly wing
2. changed the Timing belt and water pump (as the pump had it, and the belt was hella loose)
3. Today I cleaned out the IACV to resolve my fluctuating idle problem.

...and as I said a trip to the body shop is next.

Also have some temp bucket seats (bit gash black and blue but better than stock and too cheap to pass up)

So this is where I am at currently. Will be obtaining more parts before it goes to my Dads body shop for revamp (Core support and arches and DC2 Spoiler)


Some more work on the arches i got done after work today as it was cool and needed something therapeutic to chill me out :).
That's the driver's front and rear done.

Then the same evening I come across these which a local good friend was selling, which I snapped up at a good price there and then.

Pic from in the boot :P

262's with calipers hubs, disk (going to replace with 282s and the mountings).
will be a nice easy swap.
Image
Image

These will be refurbed and cleaned up, fitted with new brake lines, pads and discs.

What I got done today:

1. Dismantled Callipers and discs from hubs
2. Cleaned Hubs and top ball joints, arms etc, and also calipers
3. Hamerited the Hubs, arms and joints

Pics of my progress. Calipers are going to be [COLOR="Yellow"]Yellow[/COLOR]

Cleaned:
