Nice work always annoying undoing bodge jobs but at least you'll know it's been done properly!

Good luck with it!

cheers, I've been frustrated alright and impatient loads, but yeah your right the key is to give a break and do something else that needs done or go to car show that usual kicks it back in

cheers yeah you get piece of mind but now I'm buying everything new because its turning out so good so it cost me a fortune lol

be kool when its done tho

tied in the healboard and towboard in and fitted new strengthening plates for the front subframe in 4mm plate this later will be a bad move as i bought poly bush subframe mounts and the bolt bracket bolts aren't long enough to go through the plate and mount so i had to fit standard ones (lesson learnt)
