Spring out without taking me out
Got the missus to stand on hub, she aint fat honest lick of paint as well
Shiny bits, £20inc vat from craddocks
Job done, didn't bother tarting the spring up. I think it's a passenger side spring cuz of the yellow paint. Is the driver side marked white for standard duty?
If so I'll get a replacement pair for the front, 20mins a side now I know how to get em out.
Would've gone back to craddocks but only got passenger side in stock.
cheers @bankz5152 @KISSMYAURA On to other side after a bacon sarnie

FKIN el thats some lateral heave there! front crab style!
Could do wiv bit of 5-8mm plate an re drill but a new mount is only £10 to £15 just weld that on, proper job!
Problem is the old "impatience / need it done cos i got to use it V proper job" so use the force or alcohol whatever you prefer, and proper job it!
pic is not the right one but tis only £13 from rimmers etc

looks like a panhard rod when snap maybe etc should line up fine when axle is brought up to it etc.
My brakes are great, just got to replace the rear flexi, pipe and maybe the lines themselves bow i have my pipe flarer etc.
Want ot fit a braided SS pipe for clutch flexi as well.
might even see how easy it is to remove a frame n refit ball joint etc.

Frustrates me quite a lot. Me mum often has a go at me for being too fastidious with the 110 - Yes I bloody am and thats why it does 70miles a day and doesnt skip a beat and you drove to the shops in the and broke down then rang me to fix it

It's bloody dangerous ain't it. Not sure if shocks were original and washer had rusted away or they've been replaced and it was left out. Either way glad I've found it before we go away, I went off road at kelmarsh with it like that
