OK guys. I don't know if you missed me or even if you care. The point is, the last week or so has been big for me. I finished up at my job. All the bits I was waiting on for my active arrived. I have been beavering away in the hangar every night till 1-2, spannering and whacking bits back together.
I got the last bushes for my suspension and put them in. Put all the suspension back in. Re gassed the nitrogen in the struts. Re fitted the struts and all the new bump stops and boots. After that I put it down on the ground and had me some fun bleeding all the suspension and getting it right. I've been through 10 cans of susp fluid so far. Once all that was done it was time to fix some brake light wiring, done. Had some fun driving it around the hangar. Then it was time to fit my freshly cleaned, polished, resealed headlights. The front bar. I got some 50 watt globes for the turning lights as I couldn't find any 35 watt ones and 21 watt is just too dim.
I then bled and flushed the brakes, and did a rough wheel alignment. Checked everything for leaks, it seems ok at the moment. So tomorrow its off for a roady and rego. A wheel alignment and hopefully I can get it to a painter for some touchups and then I'll be soaring. I found a couple of problems with the 4ws setup which I'll work through and get sorted. Then a couple of other minor things to play with when time permits (I'll have plenty of that now that I'm unemployed)
So finally this little saga is coming to an end. I hope it has all been worth it. Stay tuned, tomorrow I will resize some pics and post them up, and I'll let you know how it drives. Till then, Thanx for reading.
