All fixed up. 

Will really have to paint them all soon as one looking like that is offending me. 

Investigation of my slightly warm wheel has turned up a sticky brake on the rear. The piston isn’t playing ball.

so I ordered this and it turned up a day later will fix it next week

Stole a swift half day to refit headlights 

Fit battery and leave her running for a bit 

And remove and clean my vent covers that have not been off in a good five years

Been a while since i updated this with my to do list so.

Currently @Noz is refurbishing my headlights as they had green slime in them. Im not to convinced they wouldn’t have started the next pandemic. 

1. I got my hands on a pair of these, so i will be cutting the boot build to fit them, should tidy it all up. I also have some new targa mount covers i will change. 

2. Next is to test the system for boost leaks i feel i have to really hit it hard in 2 to get the boost to kick in. Maybe just me being paranoid but a smoke test will solve it, also i will change the BOV.

3. Change my front mount, its looking a bit crusty.

4. While front mount is out i will attach the AUX fan I brought to the rad cover and wire it in,

5. Stone chips need to go away. While not causing issues they spoil the overall look a bit.

6. Dump the oil and maybe do a belt change.

7. Refurb the ball joint on the arm it failed its MOT on last year and put it back on as it has my nice poly bush on it. 

8. Repaint the calipers.

Fml the bolt holding the upper arm is fubar and has had to be cut off. 

lucky for me @mwilkinson has a spare he’s sending out on 24hour delivery. 

So she’s spending the night at the garage on the ramp.

So my dome light failed to come on when door was open.. very annoying. Having no luck looking for a supra one @jim_supra suggest a celica one might work. 
 

Ebay and 8 quid later.

Bugger failed it’s mot on upper front ball joint. 
 

Picked up on 

Bulb out on number plate, no biggy swapped them to led. Did take me way to long to do mind.

Tyre. Meh 

And the handbrake slightly binding… no shock as it’s sat for a month so I’m sure it will sort itself 

Keron has part on its way. I will probably swap my polybushes to the part before fitting it. 

If all else fails it can be sent away to have the ball joint replaced. 

It’s super annoying to have one of the only parts you never replaced fail on you. 

At least we have someone that can refurb them I guess.

Busy day today @mwilkinson kindly offered to come over (2 hour drive) to help with aero seals and seat swap and to remove and replace the front aero bolts along with fitting a new armrest glove box All went to plan and everything is installed. 

Would have taken me an age without matts help 

I now have a working seat and hopefully non drip aero. 

Dug out my old mats and cleaned them, got some new badges and res installed them.

I also got my two bucket detailing kit and snow foam on the go.

Got some new trd wheel centres on today.
