Today I have mostly been replacing the rear brake pads... to discover that I now most likely need to replace the calipers and disks next time around... oh well one more job to add to the list of things to sort before the next MOT
 
Took wheels off to make a start on changing disc n Pads. Ended up taking shocker off, pin mount and spring and painting em all instead.

Nice n bright :D

 
Tried and failed to undo nut on lower link, even had two kids pulling on strongbar with me! Need more height and longer bar, or nut splitter.
 
Did a second coat on the chassis.
