well the new rear springs fit :afro:



Then when it was dropped onto its wheels it was VERY nose down  :cry: so the fronts had to come off again  :rolleyes:





So 40 minutes later and she was back on here wheels and it was time to test out the new fuel filler pipe  :shocked: its all fuel tight.



Next up another test drive round the private roads  :evil: and all seems well and no rubbing from the front no more  :cool:





So, next job is the rocker cover gasket then its MOT time  :laugh:
