progress 27.04.2007

tonight i replaced the o/s outter cv boot, front brake pads and discs and finished bolting the suspension on. its now back on the floor!!











JM_16v - its far from being clean. its benen sat there for the last month.

liamcorsa - there isnt a great deal more for me to get on with now really. my tb's are being drilled and tapped next week for a brake vacuum feed, then i can get them propperly bolted on and then its just about done once the fuel rail is sorted and plumbed in. maybe another week or so todo.

im hoping to get asmuch done this weekend as poss. will start with the wiring loom tomorrow
