Stripped down my n/s/f caliper and gave her some new pistons and seals , also replaced the brake fluid . gave me something to do :) . Got my radius bushes to do at some point but they can wait lol .
 
finally finished getting the new tube bumper dry fitted (need to get a mate with a more powerful mig welder to weld up the recovery eyes though), still got some grinding up of some of my welding to do as well before paint .
some of the latter bits are quite reasonable :D

before i tacked the recovery eyes on

had some comments last time we went out (night run) that because my rear springs are a tad low compared with the front me headlights are a bit high.
well think when thats finished and bolted on should even the suspention back up :D probably wieghs half as much again from when i started "re-design" work on it :rolleyes:
 
bucks that bumper on yer 90 makes the front of it look like a Mr man's face !!!!

after my little bump on the plains that bent the stainless bumper and totalled me video camera needed to raise the ends to help approach angle.
if you look at the front on picy you can see the near side is a fraction higher than the o/s must have bent the chassis leg a fraction :eek:
 
Simple is always best That tubular one I had was similar to yours and probably weighed same as a std bumper.

Tidy job that Fishface...looks a nice motor too. Reasonable price??


I picked up a shedload of fireworks for a display tomorrow night in my 90.

Obviously the display is outside, not IN the 90....before some smartarse corrects my grammar..:rolleyes:
 
I bought myself a set of the HBU472EB bulbs as recomended by Bucky and MHM. I was just about to fit em when I realised that my o/s headlamp has a crack in it. I rekon that I best buy myself a set of 'E' approved crystal clear headlamps to fit my new bulbs to.;):p
