Unwrapped my new backbox and spent a good 15 mins staring at the car contemplating whether to fit it today. So in essence I accomplished f**k all.

Decided to fit lowering springs that I've had for 12 month to see if I liked them or not
In a moment of complete madness I wedged the rear axle with a crow bar caught hard brake line and pissed fluid all over the drive  :angry:
No brakes, no patience , no interest !
On a plus side Car looks good on its springs  :laugh:

Just been out to investigate a strange noise she's devolved since being used as my daily.

To find alternator might need replacing, slight leak from rear fuel pump housing, my manifold is blowing slightly and my tappets need doing.

All will have to be done soon as will do my head in if I don't

found there's a lot of play in the drive shaft flang :/ so ordered a new seal kit and took springs off an old box I have because I think there's missing.
