Do they sell lube?
:roflol:
damn...
Almost finished, just needs painting so wish me luck.
Spent the last few hours with spot putty and wet sanding... Through 3 fingertips that is... Seems mostly smooth
I know it is solid because during wet sanding my hand slipped and I knocked it off the table. Not even a tiny shift at the cracks.

Sorry, just saw your reply in the other thread too! Cool! Going straight through or also meeting at McD N1 City @ 8:30?
Hey Guys, I have been extremely dormant on the forum for the last year and a half, time to get involved again.
Definitely time to update this list. After starting full time employment it is a lot harder to get the time and energy to work on the car myself so other that her regular oil services and needed maintenance not much has happened.
Thinking of doing brake and power steering fluids this weekend as these have not yet been done. Anyone want to come by and help? :=):

So friday night I did a power steering flush, the old fluid was sooooooo brown. Unfortunately I had to use the lazy mans (which actually takes longer) method as the power steering pump drain bolt was too damn tight for me to get off.
Saturday afternoon I changed my break fluid and gave the system a nice bleed. It's about time I did this, it should be done every 1-2 years. I have had the car for 2 years and I am not sure if the previous owner ever changed it.
On the cards for today; I am going to take a look at a set of ramps because jacking up my car is a real b####.
