wolf8 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cant seem to do and edit ? Yeah been a busy few weeks since getting her but slowly sourcing parts , members on here have been great ( thanks guys )Was well pleased it went through its mot , fitted new brake pipes / front springs / and track control arms and front pads and kept my fingers crossed and got the call saying she had passed , me and my boy have a celebratory curry that night. still got load to do for this year , full service replace blind cover , new tyres (toyo) new hoses ect so enough to keep us going for a bit lol. next year its new arches new inner/outer sills and any little marks taken care off and poss a s/s zorst ?
