Welcome. Looking forward to piccies so read up how to post, then show and tell

That's about in reach of me. Might visit once I have a full car. Will collect Pete on the way through too!

I've been informed AVO shock absorbers are no longer trading!

Piranha system removal. Don't know if I have done it right as cant test the electrics. Central locking not working I still but I still have the door wiring to work and to remove the alarm box and tilt sensor from the engine bay https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212708&authkey=%2...

I have them on mine and been ok albeit the lowest setting is very close to max normal height so little adjustment down.

And finally for tonight, we have the rack on the carpet. There is no way that comes out the wheel well! :lol: (Some will disagree) :wink: Note most of the anti seize coating has been removed https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212492&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&height=660 https://o...

Found malt vinegar to be a very good cleaner of rusty parts, plus cheap at 30p a pint. Air Con condenser brackets came up lovely, but it doesn't straighten studs! https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212686&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=800&height=1500 The Thermostat housing was...

Thanks John, great info.

..... are you going to overhaul the steering rack yourself?

No that will be done by a professional!

I've seen my painting skills

Please note main is an SA so maybe completely wrong.
