Title: Work has started
Post by twinturbo on Feb 12^th, 2008, 2:55pm

I have started work on MY 24v to sort the MOT fail.. Weather gr8...

Done
====

Replace front strut due to coil snaped

Part Done
========

Seal D/S downpipe. I have managed to undoo the front flange nuts ( how hard are they to get to!! ) but the sleve joint would not budge. I tried the joint to the main system, so far I have one sheared stud and one that was rounded before I got to it... So That's on hold .

To Do
======
PS Steering track arm
Chassis rail weld
Swap the wheels ( tyres damaged )

Let the garage do
==============
Coroded brake pipes...

Still a long way to go realy.. But it will live, and the borders meet will happen at some point..

Nice one.

Calls for a bit of grit and determination at times to keep these on the road.

Now got the downpipe off.

Use a nut splitter to crack the second rounded nut.

But now I am left with one snapped stud that will not come out, and one which may by badly scored from the nut splitter ( and I have no idea where my dies are )
