What a clean up session.

So last weekend i decided to do some preventitive maintenance

This involved:

All the wheels ditched....

Start of cleaning out the arches. Good job for a pressure washer.


Unfortunutly i didnt take any pictures of the clean arches but about 2 hours later the arches were spotless.

then i thought the drums look rather rusty and last time i had them apart was the day after i purchased the car to check them over and make sure they were safe, so i painted them. Shocking picture.

now while down there i noticed my rear shock bushings are badly worn so need some replacements and also my front drivers side shock has a small rusty hole in it just below the suspension cup. so idealy i want to renew all the suspension all round. Any ideas where to get them i missed the chance the other day on ebay when a chap was selling the springs at £5 each and the shocks at £5 each oh and the bushes
