Haven't posted in ages done a few things.

First off I have replaced the ball joints and track rod ends, as you can see in the picture they needed replaced





I've also give the car a service, oil, filter, gearbox oil, dissy cap, rotary arm and plugs




Fitted my oil cooler while I was there, due to still having the plastic around the rad It was pushing the rad towards the manifold and blocking the only hole in the pre bumper causing the temps to rise abit in traffic so I put it under the crossmember for now untill I think of something

Got lucky there, could've ended up being costly. Thats the reason I went for the 8v gasket in the end.

bit of an update bought some bits and bobs last week;




Also I took the rear axel off to paint it black and the anti roll bars red to freshen them up a bit

here the axel fresh from the car nice a rusty with the bracket for the bias valve (now removed)



Handbrake cable (niceeee)


and heres the axel after paint and with poly bushs




also removed all 3 heat shields while I was under sealing the car and have sprayed them to make them look new
heres my new slave cylinders vs the old one, safe to say this is why my pedal went to the floor



axel is now back on the car just need the brake lines done and she will almost be done underneath
