I keep mine as low as I can. Mobile phones for me & 2 kids Sky TV and Internet Strava I think thats it other than regular bills.

Thats defo cheap. I was just looking at the Virage on copart as well! Hmmm. Clio V6 or swap up for a V12 Aston?

I went for the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2" gun, I snapped a 1/2" drive long bar on my XC90 crank pulley but the gun pulled it off without much of a problem. Unbelievable torque. Only issue I had with it is accidentally leaving it on max ugga dugga when doing up an M12 suspension bolt and it snapped...

And stripping the struts down, cleaning and treating Quick clean and sand blast Treated, then painted as per the above posts

Oh, looks like I missed the inner arch repairs, so the above wont make much sense! This is what I discovered under the inner front arches, behind a fairly poor attempt at covering it with underseal lol NS Grinder action Templated Replacement cut Welded in and primed And the OS

Gravitex on the inner arches - repaired areas looking nice now. NS OS Painted up the topmount retainers, topmounts etc, reassembled with new bolts and bearings And refitted, along with all the brake vents and stuff, then wheels. Ready to come off the jacks now, possibly...

New rear brakes, the rear discs looked dicey at the last MOT on the insides so been on the list to get done. Not good at all Brembo discs/bearings and Yellows refitted, fairly straight forward. Caliper wind back tools rock.

Still absolutely loving this little tarmac terror. I hadnt done the brake fluid or gearbox oil since I bought it so... I did those. Sucked the old fluid out of the reservoir with a home made syringe thing, needs to be thin to get right to the back RBF 660 and an Eezibleed, no issues really...

Fog light rectified - pleasingly managed it without taking the bumper off. Then up on stands for a brake fluid change, I put some Mobil RBF 660 in as recommended by the man himself @Brigsy Weather was nice so worked outside. Lovely day, and the god of bleed nipples was kind. All six came...

Everything had dried out so we reassembled it He fits - just! (6'2" and still growing)

I've seen this post/had this conversation many many times over the years, Renault 5 GT Turbo's, 21 Turbo's. Clio 16v and so on. It's part of the cycle when values are lowest. This attricion rate will eventually create scarcity and drive values back up again.
