Looks great mate! Really good job here! Engine bay looks perfect! Top Work!

Cheers. I'm happy with it. Still got a lot to do, mainly tiding bits up and sorting out little rust problems. After that i need to start spending big money on it :(

Looking good mate, you can come and do mine next :whistle:

Haha i don't mind doing it mate, you do more than enough for me!

Okay mate. Let me know what you've got anyway.

Well, i know how much the diff is. Just need to find out how much for bolts and fitting if you could find that out? Might try and get hold of a spare box so i'm not without a car.

i like it but.. mine is like that every time i wash it. in uk when you go the car to a shop for washing it they never do an excellent job. they always leave spots dirty. tomorrow i will wash it again and i will try to take some photos to show you what i mean.

Okay cheers mate. I just don't want the bolts doing what yours did! Diff is about what i thought it would cost though.


I'll have a look and let you know :)

I've never taken mine somewhere to be washed, i always do it myself. Every time it's on the ramp i just look at the arches and think "i'll clean them one day" but never have got around to it before.

Rears were a pain. They had started rusting through when i got the car, so when i took it in to get the dents sorted they also did the arches. Only problem being, they didn't do the inside, just took out the rust they could see, treated it and painted it.

I cleaned the arch out today, removing the liner and the amount of wet dirt that was sitting on the arch was insane! Now it's all gone, and i've made a quick repair on the arches hopefully it'll be okay until i can afford to/live without the car for a few days to get them done properly.

Results are:

I hate washing cars, but cleaning the inside of arches is one of the only jobs I like doing (because it's so satisfying)

Exactly the same as me. After standing back and looking at the results i'm pleased i did it.

The amount of mud that was in the arches was crazy! I just hope the arches will hold out for a while now.

Also fitted some rear spacers but i think they're slightly too big and it will scrub:(
