Is not the same when you have to replace the suspension before you motYes but i wouldn't knowingly buy 2nd hand parts off another car to go on mine
Most parts suspension and brake wise are replaced as a matter of course.
So true, a lot of scare stories seem to be based round assumptions and ignorance/lack of knowledge. The more i learn from the great folks on here, the more i realise most things aren't that scary.Amazing once you get to grips with them, they're one of the easiest cars to tinker with.. ;0
It helps to have the right tools and to be bothered to learn

Aye scare mongering from people with limited brain matter, and can't fix anything vaguely above the complexity of a lawnmower

I got creative and made a wind proof spray booth in the back of my van. Also had to decide how to solve the I need x2 more cans of paint to finish all the wheels it's taken x2 cans per wheel inside and outside soooooo have gone 2 tone.
Satin black for the inside of the wheel rim then the bavarian grey on the outside. You cant even notice the inside is done in cheap satin black which I have to have plenty of.

Been for first spin with the dog since before lockdown.
Derv is £1.099 here. £25 in still nowhere near half tank
was down though. Brakes are lot better and not binding, picks up without so much noise and hasn’t cut out with holes in the pump (yet), seems to boost after 2200rpm more willingly. no noticeable extra noise from cutting a hole in the floor.
So nice to finally have windows down with nothing flapping about and roof panel has cured a peach colour much brighter
2 new problems - back to hunting for a rev slightly when returning to idle, the lost wheel weight from calliper pin snapping is apparent after 50mph
