Today was the day to try remove the CV joint from the hub that has been stuck ever since I've owned the car. Tried to get it out once before years ago and failed. Today was the day I got it out. Safe to say I'll be using coper grease when I refit everything. Quick lick of paint now I'm waiting for some new boots as one has cracked and the other dosent look to clever. Enjoying tinkering for once.

Kept going and got the front ARB stripped and painted. I need to get new drop links as the bushes have split and the threaded bar is buggered.

First bit under way used an attachment on my grinder to wire wheel them to try remove the worst of the rust off Then out came the hammerite. Few more coats I'll be happy. Onto the the hubs if I can get this CV joint out.

Oops things got out of hand haha. Coilovers - lower arms - antiroll bar off. Gonna refresh everything I also have a stuck CV in one of the hubs unsure what one though that should be fun trying to remove that. May get the wheel bearing done while it's all off as I've never done them in my owner ship.

Believe the only reverse switch is on the box its self.

Unfortunately the sleeve was a little to wide right size to go over the end of the crank though . Measured the depth I need so I'll order the right one. The arms drop links tie rods ect has all of sudden gone very rusty so all that will come off during the week to strip down and repaint or replace. May as well do it now while its all apart.

Took the gear box out today due to rear main leaking again I have a sleeve to install if it fits. The crank oil seal surface has marks and a gouge in it explains why it's leaking hoping the sleeve fits and sorts the issue.

Got enough wheels lol love the white ones. Cheers nick

Welcome to ukso enjoy your stay Cheers nick

Looks plenty of life left in that to me imo looks like an exedy stage 2.

Think you'll be alright with 10mm tbh

10mm hubcentric spacer be job done

Welcome to ukso enjoy your stay. White is the best colour imo. Do you have any plans for it. Cheers nick

GT sump is shallower not as long as the Glanza I have a GT one on mine as engine is out of a GT

Little bit more done on the wings today the fitment of the indicator units into the the wings was shocking to say the least. So little time spent with the dremel this afternoon alot better now. There is a little gap at the top but I think that's down to the moulding of the wings ither way im much happier. Last picture that are just resting in there.

Managed to get down to the car today bonded the livesports splitter to the bumper much better.

Thanks bud it's keeping me sane during this lockdown and furlough I'll keep plugging away every now and then.

Been out side today and painted the splitter with the spray gun so much better. Few hitchhikers that I couldn't get off so they will live there forever now waiting for my sikaflex to arrive tomorrow then I'll fit it to the bumper. VID_20200530_151659.mp4

Ah that's cool I really want one for mine but it's not really needed just a want lol

Spoke to Mike this morning he's curious why you guys didn't contact him regarding the hitting the beam they are fitting one this weekend so will have a look when fitting it. Cheers nick

Decided I wanted to test fit before I get to deep glad I did as I'm not happy with the fitment at all so I'll have to address that they do look boss though .

Bit more done today it's taking ages to hand sand the vent ect pain in the ass few pin holes to fill ect then I can make a start on the other one.

Hard to price imo it's what ever someone is willing to offer you

Bit more sanding done to day this time by hand as the da won't touch the wide arch bit. God it takes ages by hand lucky I have alot of time to burn

Slowly getting there taking bloody ages gonna have to hand sand parts of it not looking forward to that.
