Haven't updated this in a while. Not alot has really happened as i am saving towards a place for me and the misses.
Heres what i have been upto:
This is where the xsi used to be kept - My dad went ape when he saw the grass.....or lack of.
He told my my car had to go.......he wanted me to trade it in against a new car - For him! So i decided to ask my grandad if i could rent/borrow his spare garage.
This is what i faced
Got the car out....started 1st time after a month (Also my 180bhp TDI Ibiza in the background)
After sorting out the garage the car was fitting back in with a bit more space to work. I had to put some of my grandads stuff back in.......hes 93........and would kick my ass all over the shop if i chucked it out!
This is only half the crap i took down the tip / tat man had off me.
Not much more left to tidy before i take my tool box down
Well now the toolbox is at my grandads.....and jeeeez its heavy really should of removed my tools:
With my tools with me i got to work on the xsi..........whilst it was hammering it down outside!
2 old rear shocks with 1 shiney Spax.........think i had already fitted the one
I then set to tackle the front. Complete leg off
I would of got the standard damper out but i had forgot my stiltons to get the locking nut off.
I have started to clean up the arches.
Before:
During:
Got a lick of hammerite on the front suspension legs. I have removed the standard dampers and will fit the spax when the legs are fully dry
Before:
After:
Legs built up with new spax dampers and 60mm spax springs
Got a couple of coats of hammerite on one of the arches
Started to bolt the suspension back in place
I have now got both arches painted up and the car back on the ground.
