i had 2 new ones put on the front on sunday and the rears were ok but they found a bit missing out the rear inside tyre wall so may of been switched around before i bought the car.
All sorted now tho.

It must be MOT week, the focus is going to Craigs at the end of the week. This is after I replace the things that used to be brake discs, and install some roll bar drop links seeing as the current ones are dangling around the driveshafts lol I may also put a backbox on it, seeing as the last one is in a hedge somewhere in Newbury lol lol

I love abusing Fords :)

Thats a nice coupe Chris, didnt realise you had bought one, did you chop the rex in for it?

Im not sure Hay would appreciate a billy boy exhaust on her beloved feckus. Ive tried lowering it twice, and each time ive been threatened with a sex ban :(

I might accidentally run the grinder through a few coils while im doing the brakes :)

Subtle drop and a nice grille would make a lot of difference IMO :)
