the p slots are coming off for a full refurb over winter

even got a bit of time to drive around with the roof down      what a feeling :mrgreen:
That would be the COLD feelin then lol

went out there with a goal today of getting my locking wheel bolt off

and within 10 minute is was off  :cheer:  :cheer:

with a grinder put a slit in it, then with a hammer and a large screw driver gave it a good wack!!!! and it came off



then with todays job already done i thought i would start putting my new suspension on!!!!

made a start on the rear first





then within 2hours that was done….!!!! :dance:  :dance:

so made a start on the fronts



within 2 hour that was done  :cheer:  :cheer:

then i've been doing these at work last week, all they need was a good top coat and they were ready so i did that

off to the trye shop tomorrow so they should be on the car soon

what a productive day  :dance:

plus i forgot to say that i notice that the P Slots that i have are 14" which is a bonus i thought they were 15"

quick shot of the new suspension in place



then went to the tyre shop i always use and they stuck the tyres on my wheels for £30 cash well happy

so here it is with it's winter wheels on………….







what you think????

think you're making great progress, well done.

good job on the wheels, are they powdercoated?

I love the locking wheel nut off method, that is innovative car resto material!

and 4 hours to replace all suspension?  took me two weeks!! you have no trouble with the bolts at the back??

Keep it up anyway dude, what's next on the agenda?

cheers tony

i had no trouble with the suspension at all, which is good!!!

i sprayed the wheel with POR-15 which has come out well i think

next job is already happening

new exhaust gasket but it's a right pig of a job

should have it done tomorrow tho hopefully

good work again jellybelly.

the new year?

yes mate the cabby will be at the mk meet if it make it

had a good day today

all in all a productive day

well thought i'd sorted my leaking handle but still got a drip

also leaking in the boot where the hood meets the body at the back quaters

not sure what to do

right leak is not sorted out by putting a cover over it

also went a trip over to nottingham today to pick up a new down pipe
