No just up and down the estate with NO brakes

got the MOT just waiting for a few little bits, and then road tax on Monday

What camber settings did you go for ?, I had some ideas before I went but Chris said for my intended use they were a bit much. As I have standard balljoints I wanted the wishbones to sit level so that determined the ride height to an extent.

Spent half hour on silly little jobs.

The usual rotten boot lock rubber.

I flat refused to re-use the old door pocket screws when I took those off last month, re-fitted today with nice new black ones.

my boot area was a mess with a bodged rear someone cut and tack welded the rear interior panels

I drilled out the cut panels

Then had an expert weld in new panels

Battery tray area is always a corrosion area problem so I cut out the factory one and fabricated a removable one
repaired all the corrosion just need to epoxy and prep the boot area for paint

The completed tray

few thing's plated including in the tray
