i paid less for mine well worth the money though, looks loads better

No rush from me, hope the diagram helps and hope everything is okay with you mate. Just getting to work on the rear trailing arms at last. Had to remove the rubber from the trailing arm bush but leave the shell behind to fit the Energy Suspension bushing. Removing the center bar was easy and a sharp drill bit and a few holes took care of that, removing the rest of the rubber was a bit more time consuming. I used a jig saw and a course blade to cut the majority of the rubber out Then a blow torch to carbonize the remaining rubber and pull it away from the shell. It was easy to then scrape most of it off Cheap drill mounted wire wheel then took care of any remaining rubber Also attacked the rest of the arm with a few different wire wheels, sand paper etc. to remove any dirt and loose rust/powder coating After a wipe down with some brake cleaner, I etch primed everything and let it all dry in front of a small heater And applied 2 coats of Hammerite metal paint. Had to do it in several goes as I couldn't hang the arm up due to the weight! Also started on the front control arms as they were already starting to flake in places from the factory paint job. I've never seen paint so thick before, took a while to shift it with the wire wheel!

Yeah, I get that mate. My brother and me were like that years ago too, although not with a track car obviously. But we did work like a wee team fixing/modding/restoring our own cars as there was stuff I could do and stuff he could do so it worked well. He's not into cars as much now (getting too old for it although he still fixes his own when it breaks most times)

I get a real buzz after two/three years hooning around circuits in my own car Think what makes me espeically proud is my brother and I do everything ourselves too.

Smart weather strips and immaculate glass sets a car off IMO

A few months ago someone at work asked if I had something like parcel tape stuck to my windows.. It was just the rust showing through on the weather strips

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Little update... Finally got around to replacing the really tired weather strips from my front doors. From this To this One less thing to make me a little bit sad about my car
