    series 2a bad paint job

    Thats what i used for mine, and used it to clean up the metal before welding the footwells. It took the old bitch off the legs and the paint off the door posts. But how much :eek: dont use B&Q. I went to Toolstation which has free delivery (useually next day) if you spend over £10.

    Cheers, will look in to it. When i first had her, me and my dad kept getting pulled because she was crabbing. Im guessing that this is how she was fixed (if you call it that). Looks like they cut the mount off and moved it a few inchs. Although at the time of the fix, it may not have been bad.
