I hate it when this happens.



Spot my friendly mechanic.

I'm now sitting here waiting for the call to tell me it's done.

It's like waiting for your exam results.....

Done.

Build competed.

Good news. I now have a front end I have some confidence in again. A lot pointer, and much less bump steer and tramlining. She now handles properly.

An in depth investigation will have to wait until I get some time and clear roads that aren't dark and wet.

Bad news;
Car needs a 4 wheel alignment ASAP. I'll try and get this done next week.
Knackered an ABS sensor. Yet more bloody expense. I'll try and get this done next week.
Managed to flatten the battery. Which has caused the hi-fi to drop into the "please transmit code from the little security tab thing" mode. Guess what I can't bloody find.

Yet. More. Expense.

Which brings me to my final point. Is it a mod if you didn't know you had it.

The springs that came off the rear were progressivly wound Eibachs by the look of them. I had no idea. Neither, I suspect, did the guy who sold it to me.
