The sun goes down on my SD ownership

One final drive over the Devil's Beeftub, what a great car

Wiring tidy

Wiring Tidy up and also new fixings for the clam.
Also cleaned up the front side indicators.

Toe Links ready

 Hub nut removal

New Bonnet Badge (£14)

Good news bad news

So quick update, had use of the below for a day which sorted out my wishbones

Had a big delivery of parts so lots of painting and bush replacement to do.

In other news I have put on the new towing eye.

Now the bad news, I have screwed a thread on the hub carrier so I need a new one which means I am going to need to remove the driveshaft from the bearing, something I was desperately trying to avoid.

Its a shocker

They are cleaned up ready for refit.

Suspension off

Suspension fully off and steam cleaning started

Steering Rack Out

Pain the arse job lying on your back in the footwell, done it before so not too much stress, took a bit to get the spline to disengage of the rack.
Now have two racks in the shed, think I will get the quick rack refurbed and sell on the std rack.

Front suspension off

The Ball Joint Splitter Scares me
