Josho's MK3's. Wishbone bushes in, one sump plug just isn't enough.

Cheers guys.

Bottom end knocking and throttle cable snapped on the A2 at Gillingham. Got to Dartford on purely idle clutch, pushing and hills. Finally found a guy at a petrol station lent us an electrical screwdriver, took the airbox off, ripped out a bit of air horn wire and tied the throttle open. 

45nph in fifth. Will get a pic tmoz.

Must be the Medway curse, you're lucky to have even left Gillingham alive tbh.

True. I swear the whole of Medway is like born imbred.

Went ice skating but on the way back was with a couple of close mates that aren't, but look like total pikeys.  Fit in Gillingham perfect. 

Better then a mate when she broke down in the Medway tunnel, just pushed bumper to bumper out. 

The fix of destiny:


Got 45MPH out of that.

GTI wishbones removed. Blowtorch on the rear bush and a chisle to remove rubber, hacksaw the aluminiumbush ring and tap out.

Blowtorch then hacksaw around the front bush, cut off the overlap then G-clamp:

Another one of your dodgy MOTs eh?   

Burning bushes FTW!

Nice cruise control mod.

Dodgy MOTs? Me? Never. . Guy let the emissions and wishbone bush off cause cars pretty much off road now with all the new bits going in. I sat in the car and held the headlights on and held the highbeams on.

Stinks tho.

might sell it on eBay.

Claim it was owned by a royal family member and make yourself a mint.

Was the Queens car once init. 

Car is annoying me. Exhaust shield is rattling, couldn't keep up with a 1l Saxo yesterday, OK I had for up and him two but it's so down on power.

Got the other wishbone off which was stupidly tight, painted them both silver, gotta rub down and do a better coat.

Gotta remove the PAS rack and paint that silver and the subframe black.

Black subframe, silver wishbones and PAS pump, black hubs, silver coilovers, orange springs, dunno about the callipers yet.

Screw lowered cars.

Not sure I like Hammered Hammerite. Looking better nonetheless. May grab some Hammerite spray cans and go over it all.

[SoundillusioN]

I wouldn't bother with cans over the top, the finish won't change much now its it's been brushed.  why bother anyway, not like its going to be on full on close up display when fitted.
