LOL from EU52.
I'd be really careful with them.
Took a massive shunt @ 50.

yeah bits if EU52 are going on. I'm refurbing both legs so i'll have a closer look when i get them in pieces. O/S spring is unseated and the N/S dust cover on the damper has split. Apart from that, both damper rods are good and the springs look ok.

I should have got a pic of EU52, theres not much left on it now

yeah they'll be going on as they are now. Would have been nice to have had them yellow to fit in with the colour highlights but its just not worth it.

I need people opinions now, Front brake hoses, Goodridge and Kams Exact kits - Does anybody have a preference to either sets. The Exact are cheaper and I can get them in yellow which i would prefer..

Hopefully Should have both struts rebuilt on weds and fitted on thurs

Default Re: Noddy's 1.1 - Flatarch - Exact or Goodridge? 21/02/10 P8

I've decided to get the Exact Lines from Kam, i'm not going to worry about the hub bearings yet as they are in good nick.

Hoses should be here weds or thurs hopefully.

Just need to get a replacement dust cover and change the replacement hub nuts that i got as they're for non-tapered shafts.

Progress today, O/S spring has been reseated and i've temporarily put the N/S dust cover back on with a couple of cable ties until a) i can get a replacement one and b) i can get the top nuts undone as even with a pair of extension bars i couldn't shift the top nut. (may give it a blast with my mates air gun tomorrow to see if it'll shift)

Old disks and pads are off and the calipers have been repainted in yellow. and the struts have been painted with black hammerite.

I'm letting the paint set overnight and then some new mintex disks and pads will be going on tomorrow when i fit them. Kam is sorting out some hoses for me, but unfortunately they won't be here tomorrow.

Not too fussed though as i do plan to change the master cylinder in the near future so whilst the system is drained, i can change the lines then.

Also picked up a replacement set of rear quarter glass as the current N/S one has loads of tiny little chips out of it. (need to get some more FSC stickers whilst i think of it :hmm

Also tomorrow i've got a new lower centre console with the side nets to go in, rear tow eye to touch up and if i can get some replacement chevrons then they'll be going yellow to go in the grill.

Just got back from my mates after fitting the new struts. Car looks sooooo much better now the fronts lower, noticeable improvement in the ride and handling straight away.

I'm just chucking up the pics now - batteries for my speedlite were flat so internal flash it was



















I'm going to get some better pictures during the day when light is better.

i need to take them both off and get a hairdryer in there and then reseal them. Its just condensation - both are like it.

The ride quality is soooo much better now they're on, no more marshmallow suspension
