I went round to Bourkey's the other day and he has fitted the steering wheel for me. Here is a quick picture of it. It isn't the greatest but im sure Bourkey will get a better one for me :p.

I also fitted the strut braces i have got for Christmas as well. They are the Ebay ones. For cheap strut braces they aren't bad at all. They fit perfect and do the job really well. The car handles much better. Just need to lower it now.

i was under the impression they were :S never mind may invest in a set hmmm lol

why you need a drill to lower it ?? i didnt :S i used spanners and socket set wi a pair of spring clamps

The actual shocker arm thing spins as you try and undo the top nut....even after clamping it so a decent tourqey drill will get it off. The garages around manch r fookers they wont do anyone a "favour" unless you pay them for a service, so it has to be done the hard way hes been waiting for ages and even has the springs.

Yeah Manchester garages are right little feckers. They don't want to do anyone a favour. The garage down the road said they would do it, started and then said they wouldn't half way through ;).

Me and Craig are hiring a drill for £15-£20 which is better than the £100+ the garages want.

Same trouble we have mate, we are getting closer to getting a 150-200 Lt air comp n gun but as you can imagine set-up costs are massive...in saying that it will give me a chance to practice my painting skills when im free ;)

(P.s you may want to really heat up the nut before you attack it....use a decent blow torch with lots of gas think i`ve seen one in your garage bourke?)
