Changed his oil and engine steady bushes, old ones were rubbish so treated him to new mpi bushes, expensive taste...

Cut out the boot floor right through to the rear seat. Need to do lots of tidying up and prepping before fitting new panel.

End float checked.

Pistons in.

Spent ages looking through random bolts I removed from the engine nearly ten years ago for the correct ones!

Got my radio in square and solid.
Got my centre console resprayed/dyed black.
Adjusted my bonnet release to make it more reliable (although its still very temperamental).
Stopped my steering column cover vibrating.
Dyed my floor mats black.
Tightened my alternator belt up to stop it squealing.

Will hopefully fit my new water pump tomorrow and treat some of the rust.

Cheers,
Cameron.
