Removed both Hockey sticks to fit my camber adjusted ones.

Jesus - what a palaver....
one bolt either side seized solid :(
had to remove A/R bar then had to hacksaw through. Cutting disc wouldnt get in there and recip saw just blunted the saw blade :(

Cleaned it all up and Kurusted the brackets ready for a couple of coats of Hammerite prior to fitting the new sticks.

QAlmost removed the second door ready for replacement, but one of the hinge bolts has stripped. :(

Will try and drill it out tomorrow! ;)
 
I got to grips with my C post and after cutting, grinding and hammering, I found the taking two more rivets out lets the whole thing go.
So one side at a time and learn.
 
Drove mine into a Renault Megan. Gutted, ive bent my bumper, broke a light gaurd and I think I damged some paintwork as well. I think the Renault is a right off....
 
Yesterday had adjustable tow ball fitted (i helped a bit)then i greased my nipples! (Propshafts) n today tidied her out n loaded her up ready for drag racing at the weekend, (my bikes not the landy! !) N then jet washed her :)
 
Polybush kit and towing eyes came in the post today just waiting for the temp sender to come then i have got everything for when son gets his car back on the road then it will free up the landy so i can start doing some work on it :)
