Herrow! Will have a spare front coilover kicking about. One of the collars is ducked but you can have it for postage.

Just had a good look. Chassis is fine, well looks straight and no stress marks or anything visible. Will see how it drives once I sort the rest.

Hub is OK, but the disc has been split in 2 pieces. Driveshaft is bent as is both track rods and the wishbone is bent. Popping to see my mate at Devon Dub Shack, he's a VW parts place and should have most of what I need. Will go GSF and grab new track rods and discs.

Then its just the coilover and wheels. Going to find out about getting adaptor's made up in a bit, would rather get them machined and done right than me pull my hair out trying to do it at work.

Well got most of the things:

- G60 driveshaft
- Mk2 subframe; use what I can off it. Wishbones are smaller and I'm guessing that means the track rods are shorter too, so will have to grab them in a bit.
- New G60 brake discs

Merc rims are going on. Will start refurbing them tonight. I got my mate at the engineering company up the road to sort out some adaptors. He's got part of my f**ked disc and one of the wheels. Fingers crossed I'll have them back in a couple days. Got paint for the wheels, just need some more wet/dry sandpaper and some white primer.

Will grab the rest of what I need in a bit when Stu finishes as I ain't got the work van atm.

Just stripping it all off now. Will bash the arch out a little to get it sort of back to shape and leave all the bodywork for now until whenever.

Got to order tyres and polybushes now. If I can get everything in the next few days, should get it back together, do the tracking with my pink string (lol) and set the camber. Back on the road by the weekend! Plan :cool:
