Measure twice drill once

Or not in my case.

The front telescopic damper, upper mounting points, don't line up very well with the holes in the inner wheel arch. Shame really, more drilling required.





Also the brackets that bolt onto the lever arms don't quite touch where they should. I have some thick washers now from B&Q that will do the job of filling the gaps but I've lost the bolts that hold this bit together.


Another trip to Namerick is required.



All this week I have been de-rusting the hood header rail ready for the new paint and hood. It isn't quite fully rust free but its close! I've now painted it in the blue rust killer stuff ready for the primer.



Not much really... and winter is coming.. it'll be cold in the garage soon.
