Don't want it ending up like immi's wheels and old bullets combo :quiet:
 
given up with matching colors and crap for now as ive tried 3 different oranges, and none match, lol.......

set out to find out what the hell was nocking when braking/pulling away from the front passenger wheel..........turns out it was a caliper bolt worryingly loose :S oh well. locktite and nice and tight now........

....decided to clean the arch too, not to Pauls standards, but itl do.....18 months of dirt and sh*t gone from running no archliners :approve:

i lost a bolt on my caliper not good :(

you snapped the bolt on your ARB yet? ive just snapped another 1 now

and no archliners :cool:
 
nah not snapped any yet........

Have been doing quite a bit over past few days with paintwork + the other arches as they were absolutely filthy.......waiting on some rear springs to come back that i have been waiting on for a while, tiny bit higher at the rear + alot more travel.....

also painted front badge, dash strips, gear insert, and a spare set of wingmirrors (yet to be fitted) in orange. Although, as was shown earlier in this thread, the orange didnt match the cage, ive since tried 3 or 4 other oranges that still dont match, so i guess if i want it all to match the cage has got to come out again, doh!

Had a few other bits and bobs arrive also.....will be updating the thread with pics and a few video's very soon :)

I hope you're getting special prices considering the number of rear springs you get through!

Madmike1's caliper bolt snapped whilst doing about 90odd in the right hand lane! caused aload of smoke and stopped him from accelerating...good jb you tightened it
 
As said in the last post ive been doing quite a bit of work over the past few days.....here are the efforts from today.....

Id promised Gray that i would take one of my seats out, and make a drawing of the custom subframes i had made up for him, so he could get some made. This meant taking the seat+sidemounts out.....Then i decided to re-paint the passenger footwell as it had got scratched over the past month or so......

Also decided to sand down the whole back, as it had been previously painted in black hammerite, with a brush. I hate brushmarks and there was loads of them, so i sanded the whole lot down, it is going to be sprayed in satin black.....

Then i decided to take the front bumper off to clean behind it, and so i could get the car on the driveway forwards, something i cant normally do....I was also going to clean the other front arch, seeing as i did the other one the other day. I hit a problem though, the wheel bolts were on mega tight, couldnt get them off with breaker bar, the normal wheel brace or a ratched, the ratchet just snapped! you can see this at about 3min 30secs on the video.....lol

Anyway heres a little video i did as i wanted to have another mess around with the video editing stuff........and some pics:

Use the following pictures for reference, and it should be enough to work out whats what on the drawing.

Do those girls get in that car and drive off?

i need some planks of wood like that! Is such a hassle getting a wheel off, none of my jacks will fit under the car.
