Not much of an update really guys and girls. My extra 10ft of eDead came today , and I gave another coat of stone chip on one side of the subframe and in the arch. I'm hoping the knuckle joints cme tomorrow so I can give it a shot at doing them on my own , but we'll see .

[1987_ParkLane]

Well knuckle joints arrived today:



So I decided to TRY and get one side done. Firts it was a right mission to get the old knuckle joint caps out , in the end it involved some fire and a screwdriver .

It took ages to get one side done, lots of swear words and I even broke one of the new knuckle joints , but I got there in the end, with a small amount of help from my Dad . Anyway here are the pictures:







And now that side of the car is sitting high:





But I will sort them ot when I get some new wheels on . Also, the new shock seems to be sitting a bit close to the Hi-Lo, I'm not sre if this is how they should be or not, they are not toching though:



Thats the best picture I cold get, are they meant to sit that close to each other ?

Yer will do mate , yer would be good if you could, Dad seems to think they are ok, but best to double check .

probably just that your adjustable shocks are larger in diameter than
standard ones Dan.

Ah yes, I'll compare a standard one with a new one tomorrow, when I do the other side .

[1987_ParkLane]

Right, well nothing has been done on the mini since Wednesday really . I haven't been feeling very well for about a week now, and I felt real rough Thursday and Friday , I feeling a bit better today, but I just want to get out on te mini and do something, as I don't want it to slow down. So might do something not so difficult like finish of the sound proofing and fill in a few holes lol. But I couldn't do the other side suspension as when I was looking at the new strut, it has a crack in it, will get a picture up later, so need a new one, or a pair if yo cant get them individually, but dos anyone know where you can get them from as I can only find them in sets with Hi-Lo's .

I thought about going, but doubt it to be honest.

[1987_ParkLane]

Cheers, they came with the car along with the Hi-Lo's .

[1987_ParkLane]

Well...Saturday I got some more sound proofing down:



Only got the rear seat and rear quarters done as I was still feeling a bit rough .

Also gave the fibre glass over the air vents a coat of stone chip:



Could do with another coat, and a coat from the arch side .

And that was it for Saturday .
