a big thank you to Rob, Paul, Dan :clap:

the day started at 8:30 for me went out side to moved the car so we had room all the way round it. removed the radiator (or should i say oil cooler :lol: ) so i could get the cowling out. removed the rear bumper, started to remove the body mount bolts. then at 10:30ish i lost about an hour when an ebay member arrived and told me his life story :roll: by that time Rob & Paul turned up. finished putting my 2" lift on then Modified the bumper's then fitted them instilled the radiator with out the cowling and Modified the lower rad pipe cos it was to long. then started the engine to bleed the radiator. by about 4pm job one done :D

then we tried sorting paul's brakes out new rear disc's and hand brake cable's fitted but the hand brake is still not working right, :?

then about 7pm paul had to go home & Rob had to pick Neal up from Greg's workshop.
so that just left me and Dan to do his front wheel bearing by that time is was dark so out come the Halogen lamp in the end we got it done by 11pm :lol:

now a vary big thank you to lisa for putting up with all this and for making the bacon roll's + baking cake's then making lots of tea ~ coffee :clap: :clap:

Glad your all sorted out ready for the annual.

Paul, you may find that your brakes need to bed in a little and the new cables need to stretch. If you don't get it done before the annual we can have a look then.

Regards

Stuart
