its been one of those days to day. cleaned the car as it hasnt been done in ages. parked up came back about half an hour or so later. and a cat had been all over it, with muddy paws! that ****ed me off more than hitting the post at the shop today and wreaking my boot lid and rear lights.
gutted, but it could of been worse.

not too bad the passenger light, just cracked



last week i had a trip to Birmingham to a guy who was breaking one of these with a few goodies on it. so i came home with a splitter and rear window spoiler witch i love!

Cant believe youve ruined the only panel on your car that had no dents in it!
How the hell did you manage to crash it lol

It must have been one hell of a post you hit, where was the shop?

put one of the rear 5 stud hubs on today, first side was a really easy, the other side has put up a fight. think one of the bolts is seized. even an impack gun couldnt budge it. so i will try some heat next time and go from there.

the advans sit out a bit too, not surprised really. but nothing a bit of camber can sort.

Are you sure it isn't a left handed thread Dan?

yeah tried both ways. the bolt didnt budge with the gun but with the breaker bar you could see it move along with the bush. shame as it was that one bolt stopping me putting the other hub on

after a day in the garage, the result is the engine and subframe have been removed.
i was considering using the ep3 subframe witch i kept, but when i removed my subframe i noticed its much lighter than the ep3 frame. so i will just get the original frame tided up.

next job is to tidy the garage and remove the steering rack, ecu, aircon unit, tidy/ clean the bay ect ect...
