It has been a while since i have really updated this, and have not taken all that many pictures as we have been very busy.
So i think my last post - i had just started to bolt a few bits on.
I must say a massive thanks to Gary & Dan from APT for helping get it back together and ready in time for Japfest, as i had no hope of making it otherwise!
Top guys!!
That gives a small insight...
So on Tuesday i took it across to APT for geo, and they adjusted the ride height as well, bled the AYC, did an oil & filter change, and gearbox oil.
Carly dropped me off and i drove it home!! :eek:
Drives much better, although nothing hugely different, it has had Ohlins fitted since last driving it, plus alloy rear arms with all new bushes and balljoints, plus the superpro rarb, track rod ends and arms.
Feels lovely and tight, not a single noise or knock even on bumpy surfaces or potholes.
Once back, it was a case of fiting the new gauges, and re-fitting all the interior, rear seat etc etc
Over the course of yesterday afternoon and this afternoon, my friend Stuart who owns Vehicle Detailing Services has been machine polishing it, not going mad but making it look much better.
It is amazing how white it looks now!
A couple of bits still to do after Japfest but its ready to hit the road.
