Lowering is for losers.

I could have told the lot of you that some time ago.

You mean you haven't already? :grin:

he did, ignored him then too  :kiss: and not had chance to check email DH, will do so once i have finished in the garage tonight

as for the car, a productive lunchtime.  2 wheels fitted with 2 bolts . spun round, car up on blocks, rear beam lowered and RH unit removed.

back into work, stripped down the top mounts cleaned and rebuilt, no play in it now so hopefully I can get it back on tonight and then rebuild all the boot trim  :laugh:

as for the exhaust, it deffo needs sorting as it just dragged itself right down the drive whilist i swung the car round :shocked:

well took the old girl back to the exhaust place and the next back box was just as bad.

Fit is perfect, no knocking or owt, it was just the angle the tailpipe came out at, so out came the gas torch  :evil:

as good as the old original exhuast was



and the new ride height - up about an inch



and one to make Guy cringe  :shocked: think it needs a wash  :grin:



So, anyone want to buy it  :cool:

Yup, until she had a look at cars and found the Focus C-Max  :lipsrsealed: Which does sound like a lot of car for the money  :undecided:
