More boring stuff for the white one at the moment, just stripping cleaning and painting. But do I strip and refurb the calipers myself or send them off to be done by Bigg Red for £80ish? One saves me much needed time and messing about trying to get old pistons out, the other saves me much needed money!
Future lows on the front

Also got one upper arm re-jointed and polybushed, and on the new crossmember. Every other part is nearly finished drying from the paint. So it's getting close now which is exciting considering I havent had a car for over 6 months!
Frustrating as well that it's taking so long when it could easily be done in a couple of weeks max. At least at uni in Brighton I can take my mind off it by dreaming of buying this 8-)

I also found that I had drum brake hub oil seals instead of disc brake ones so that's now been corrected. Took us a while to work it out though.
Nevertheless, both hubs are back together so next weekend it should definitely be back on the car *touches wood*

Trying to manoeuvre the crossmember back up and into place. Lining up the two chassis mounts, two engine mounts, and two rear leg-chassis mounts wasn't easy!
Rebuilt hubs on the car and Green Stuff pads fitted
Back on the car with the steering rack
new height at the front, and still yet to settle. Sits just how I wanted it so I'm chuffed. Although it's hard to see the drop in the pics
