Looking great

Sorry to ask a potentially daft question but do you have Apexi or Calsonic bits on the car?

So continuing on from yesterday, i couldn't get the battery box sorted as i need to get some more heavy duty cable and terminals from work, so that's a job to complete next weekend. (anything to keep me out of trouble) :wink:

but i did manage to service the car, clean it, fit the rear hooks and fit a high level brake light. :D

also today i've re alinged the steering wheel (because it was pissed to one side, and i've changed it back to my old one for now) :)
Image

i've also re routed the battery pull cable inside the car, taken the rear brake assemblies apart and blasted all the crap off of the pads and drums then re greased everything :) and now it's sitting in the garage with the offside hub all loose ready to change the bearings in the hub tomorrow
Image

as you can see there are a few oil leaks again :roll:
