New Disxs and Pads on the front on Sunday, done rears 2 weeks ago and painted the disc shield, discs and callipers.

Today I started in the rear suspension, replacing the trailing arm bushes, anti roll bar bushes and drop links and replacing the other suspension arms with brand new ones. Easiest way was to drop the whole lot out with the subframe, Nearly all built back bar one spring arm and should be back in tomorrow all being well

Swapped back onto the OEM wheels so i can ceramic coat my other wheels. While doing the swap i give the calipers a coating.
Used all Autobrite products to do both the brakes and wheels. Will coat wheel once they're 100% dry.

Feel like crying every time you cnuts post up pics of your cars in their bedrooms, need to get a garage asap before it kills me inside 😂
I know how you feel mate, exactly the same feeling when I see guys with 2 or even more car size garages.
I'm happy wif mine and appreciate it but there's always room for some greed.
My "bedroom" for next 6 hours, must get more comfortable seating arrangements

I'd gladly live in a garage with ensuite type jobbie 😂 yours is much bigger than I thought given it's a single car, lots of extra space in there!

That is awesome, holy moly.

Yea decent enough space in mine I guess, always looks smaller in pics for some reason, someday I'm gonna get 2 cars in there, I've convinced myself they'll fit ha ha

Well my obsession with lights continues.

Last mod of the rear lights, hopefully.

Standard it's single fog on right, single reverse on left.

I've tinted the reverse section red on the left to match the fog. Rewired the loom so that the "fogs" light up both sides. Fitted red LED upgraded units in both sides.

Fitted ultra slim LED DRLs from eBay, and wired to reverse circuit.

So that's all rear bulbs changed to LED now.

I feel your pain! Having to later go out and work on the wee Suzuki, I’m really bitter of having to do it in this current weather.:joy:

Luckily I do have the use of a massive garage at work and access to a dozen well stocked toolboxes but it just isn’t the same.

Yes that’s correct. I’m terrible with remembering places but we pulled into the car park on the other side as it had an amazing view too

Yea my granny has a holiday home down at Tullagh Bay at the beach you’d see from the top there if looking towards Clonmany. I haven’t been down in years though.

Would you be interested in a set of Brescia alloys in exchange for yours?

Jonny honestly my wife is breaking my heart with these alloys and kerbs as it is lol. She would have them destroyed.
Also I just put new tyres on but thanks for the offer 👍

We stayed in Clonmany, really nice quiet village although we were up in the hills out of the way. My type of place.
