Its ALIVE!!! (again)
 
I've been having major problems with the fitting of my coilovers and 4 pot brakes, the car has been sat on axle stands for weeks.

It made Trax but limped home as the springs fitted were far to hard and the brake pipe was rubbing on the driveshaft due to the excessive amount of dropeage it had seen.

So back it went on the axle stands for another couple of weeks, whilst I tried to source all the various bits needs to get it healty again.

Anyway myself and what's your beef? set out to the get the car running again today as all required was a quick (ish) bleed of the brakes but half way through the process WYB? was floating in brake fluid and we noticed that the brake line had actually split (no real suprise so off to the scrappy for brake line No3 :).

Here are some action shots:



WYB? in action over a really clean looking VTR engine, some one should really snap it up as its done hardly any miles.

There's alos a throttle body waiting to be bored out:



Everything went fairly smoothly:





I'm hoping I have more success with this one and become less intimate with speeds bumps as the ride height has gone up a bit. The observant will notice the rear end has been untouched but will be sorted out in the near future.

Thank you for reading my novel and please pray everything works for longer than a day.

The discs are fine and they have returned to a normal colour now that they done some actual breaking although I think its all going to taken to pieces again as I'm not happy with it.
