Andy's 16v Corrado (finally back in a Golf)

It does mate but it hasn't stopped the noise 

I am thinking about buying the wishbone for the other side now but I'm going to have to wait for my knuckles to heal before I can do the other one

Bloody hurts doesn't it!
My elbows and back if me head are still nipping from doing my zorst, cars hey, love and toil

[Andy-H]

It did make me say some words I've never really heard before 

When the bush snapped, I reckon that my fist, containing the ratchet must have hit the underside of the car at approximately 314mph 

It is a good feeling though when you take some rusty,seized, knackered part off and replace it with new and shiney bits 

[robz]

It is a good feeling!
Well we were on a gravel surface, so it was like havin permanent pins and needle in the back of head for 3 hours

[Andy-H]

Well, had a chap around today to clean the engine bay.

From this.......







To this........








Only cost a tenner to get done, given me a good starting point to sort some shiny parts.

Ordered the nearside wishbone today ready to fit next Friday.

Got to get mesen a tent bought now cos I'll be spending the weekend on the Bodelwyddon (spelling  :embarassed:) castle showground at the all types show

Much better  How did he do it? Steam clean or special products and a bit of hard work? I've been struggling with the bay in my Vento and can't seem to shift some of the stuff even with de-greaser and bits. Bit afraid to get out a wire brush in case it just scratches the f**k out of the bay's paint.

[Andy-H]

He used a product called TFR (traffic film remover) Mate, sprayed that around the bay, agitated it with a brush in the stubborn areas and then steam cleaned it out  .

For the price he charged, I couldn't have bought the products let alone hired the steam cleaner 

[robz]

Looks smart that, and at bargain price too!!

[Andy-H]

Cheers Robz,

Hopefully I'm going to stop spending on it soon and start enjoying it
