Started cleaning up the arches, also sourced a nice condition set of factory mud flaps so took the time to remove all the arch liners, clean everything up behind them and fit the flaps in the process Suspension was all original, covered in surface rust but was nice to see its not even had a...

Poor lusty got hounded out of here 😂 His car actually looked like it was really well done too, some of his posts were questionable 😂

To be fair id imagine those do very very little (you can see theres no marks where its been flexing and moving) should be able to drill it out, clean up the threads and get a bolt from a scrappy, or just drill it out and nut and bolt it as you can get access to the other side easily.

Probably due to the extra weight on it from the mount above it being worn!

I've never seen the gearbox to subframe mount ever wear, it's literally just a big chunk of rubber, I wouldn't change it personally

@aldo_87 dropped off a set of fairly decent condition eibach sport lines he found in his garage, so swapped them on, took 20 mins to do all 4 springs which I was impressed by!!! Also fitted a set of genuine mud flaps I got from the scrappy

When I used to work at a garage our cost from supplier (Stapleton's) was always more than average Joe could buy them from camskill (including delivery!) and at the time we added £25 markup per tyre, with "free" fitting and balancing. So didn't matter if it was a £50 budget or a £350 super wide...

Should be interchangeable

For me, Michelin on everything, even if you disregard the difference in grip/safety... Steering feels is better They look better They wear brilliantly I've never had one blow out during a pot hole (said it now 🙄) Of course other premium brands are available that will be as good/better/close...

Every time i say no more money spent on this thing.... Really good condition "yellow dots", got a set of Megane plastics coming as that's all I could source, see how they fit or maybe make something better! Ironically i ended up with this for some reason, and the driving position is much...

Id want a good look at it as that red circle looks like the telltale rust bubbles and if you can see it there then there's probably no sill left. And the green circled bits, those are never body coloured these days, especially not THAT bright, that's where the rusty water from what's left of...

Yeah as above I've had it where it only indicates left, removing and resetting the connectors from the uch seems to stop it enough to get home but then it comes back, I'm not sure if it's the power cycle or the wiggling of the PCB with a dry solder joint or somthing! It's not a permanent fix...

For me the box sections that run down the centre of the car with a block of wood as above. You can use the subframe but jack it on the bolts at each side, not the actual subframe. At the rear I use the beam unless I'm doing springs etc then I'll use the rear jacking points but both sides at the...

most didnt have cup pack colour is nice, stripes are naff. interior seems to wear terribly and then i think the big issue that puts people off... THE WHEELS!
