My car does too many miles I swear, need a diesel... or something safe anyway.

Went to collect my front struts today, from Avomexico up in Tamworth, took the dad along and my sister wanted to go shopping too so she came along.





I never knew how heavy a single suspension leg was, and the brakes are huge on the vts compared to the 1.1 anywho....

On the way home I got caught up in heavy snow showers on the M6 and M1, so bad that the snow got stuck to the wipers, and I had to slow to 50mph.
There were some right loons on the M roads in this weather tbh, could barely see anything and traffic was forever grinding to a halt!



Trial fitted the old 1.1 shaft in the new hub, and all is well so looks like it will be an easy fit



Parts are collected for the front, just considerring what front and rear shocks to buy as I haven't a clue atm!
Koni, bilstein, apex or spax...


Left to buy for conversion:
Rear axle,
Uprated rear dampers,
Uprated front shocks,
Brake bleed kit,
New torque wrench,
Spring compressor,
Decent brake fluid,
4 locking wheel bolts,

Then for the new year the cars in need of a service
