It is a usually the last four years in Wicksteed Park again.

Time for some updates

Removed some crusty 'metal'





Can you even call this metal?





And replaced it with new (real!) metal





Painted the engine bay and some other bits and pieces, made some new brake lines and replaced stuff where needed

Before paint










Refurbished brakes and suspension




Suspension driver side, before and after






Suspension passenger side, before and after







Complete package before and after






Next up: engine rebuild


Oh and by the way, I love my new brake pads
