re commissioning the excel talk about job creep its been off the road for about 15 years new rack boots. replaced all the rubber dust seals on most of the ball joints. Remove front brakes bead blast and rebuild with new seals. Dug out my spare discs and pads i bought at the club lotus show at combe again this was when green stuff was new on the market the old discs have don 90k not bad. replaced the flex brake hoses.
then took of the original shocks and fitted some from stock waiting for new seals for the m/cylinder i have the bendix one.
Have all the back end on the agenda now. got to find out where the two studs are from which were on top of the s/rack.
