The guy said they had two different lenghts and gave me the longer one as it's "more heavy duty"??? It fits fine. Wing mirrors are getting sprayed at the same time...... all this with a new baby arriving in March. Don't know where i'm gonna get the time? 
I also have rust on the base of the a-pillars and the rear valances which I will attempt to tackle myself and will then take to a professional when I royally willy it up 
(Bahnstormer) | 2004 RX8 231 (the Racecat) | 2001 Volvo V70 (Swedish eBay barge)| 1988 MR2 SC Super Edition LOTS. Lots of odd-jobs here and there, really... But really, given it's now got new suspension and brakes, and the engine now seems to be running fine... I'll hold off on doing anything to the engine for a while and just enjoy it... 
(fell off due to rust)(fell off due to rust)(so thats about 1000miles then)..... On top of that the manky front end bodywork needs sorting out (Got fibreglass wings, complete front valance and bumper bar to fit.) Sunroof is also earmarked to be cut out and plated over. Not sure what will happen paint wise, new bits need to be painted but new red paint will just make the faded bits look worse, ideally I want to paint the whole car in some lairy colour scheme but can't afford to do it properly. Then there's the ever growing list of things that I keep meaning to do (and have the parts for) but never get around to fitting like braided hoses, poly bushes, uprated ARBs etc. Probably more that I've forgotten. Oh did I mention that I've only got until the end of march to do all this? Not sure how keen I'll be. Thankfully I can't think of much else that needs doing to hers (which probably just means there's loads that I've forgotten plus whatever the MOT tester finds)'to do' list. It still needs the gearbox swapping (it needed doing when I bought it over a year ago) Also looks like I've got a leaking shock so I'll have to replace them all with the spare set of konis before MOT. Brakes will probably need looking at too, think it just needs new front discs but we'll see. Oh and it'll need tyres too but at least they won't take up too much time. Also needs the thermostat swapping (another long standing job I never have time for), oh and the front wings are starting to go. Got a spare pair that need painting and fitting but being a another faded red car I'm not sure how the colour match will go so it'll probably get put off until I can afford a full respray.(thats if I manage to buy an SC) - Springtimekaiowas wrote:
Vix's clutch is dying and I'm supposed to be starting on swapping it this afternoon but it's bloody cold out there.
'not legal' to put them on the floor, even if you wedge them in with the steering wheel guard. (probably do this anyway actually), maybe sort the last bit of rust out above the window/new windscreen, new Tbar seals (sitting in garage ready!) and a decent tune.vix wrote:kaiowas wrote:

He's doing it now!! I didn't even have to crack the whip
Just the small matter of putting the gearbox back in tomorrow Bolt involves loads of angle grinding.is upgrading

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way.
