Removed lightened flywheel and clutch out of Crystal and ready for transfer into Pheonix, pictures pending of the flywheel

Coming to think of it, I've never seen it, it could easily not have been lightened :lol:

As per our discussion on FB chat I'd be up for that mate :thumbright:

I'm going to pick up the clutch / flywheel in a minute, I don't reckon they'll be happy, I personally think they removed it cheap because they knew they'd get the business putting it in my new car :lol:

Saturday... Don't you mean Tuesday..? :lol:

Or are you sorting that numberplate then..? :evil4:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:00 pm

To be honest who am I kidding I'm going to fit these as soon as I humanly can :lol:

UPDATE:

Spent most of the weekend at Stuz ftting my lowering springs, Whiteline Anti Roll bar and Shiny new Alloys. (Phone pics only sorry!)

Before:

Hughie inbetween - nice yellow Apex Spring there, some of the standard springs were in really bad shape actually the back 2 I'd say were the worst, bit after 13 years you can't complain:

And After:

Not got too many photos I forgot the camera at stus house.

Stu was here:

That's right the number plate is now fixed!!!! No more wonkyness!

Also fitted a new oil cap:

Stu also had ago on the very sorry state of my wing mirrors - They look stunning now

before:

After:

Managed one group shot before Stu went action man over his Bonnet :lol:

She just needs a damn good wash and a new passenger side front door as Stu had a bash at getting the rubber bump strip mess off and it wasn't budging!

Just want to thank Hugh and Stu for there time and help Stu for his attention to detail and Hugh for his "Just give me a hammer" attitude toward anything that won't budge :lol:

I've come away with so much more knowledge and confidence to do more work to my own car, seriously cannot thank you guys enough

Looks wicked Porl

love the black wheels

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 12:32 am

Nice seeing you again this weekend porl

glad we had a productive day with the car!

And with regards to my "give me a hammer" approach - without it, you would be without an anti-roll bar :lol:

and you need to work out - couldn't crack those nuts with a 18" breaker bar :lol:

Car is looking SO much better on the floor and with the alloys - just be careful over speed bumps now

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:39 am

Thanks for the comments guys and yes we both gave it a good hard bashing, it just wasn't budging really :lol:

Totally agree she's looking great got few more bits to do to get her looking amazing though.

And I took the village route home, boy did I feel it :lol:

No potholes just a rather bumpy old road kept me awake which is a bonus :laughing6:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:20 am

Fool

Should have gone the way we came - through Seamer, past the workshop, right at the roundabout, past shell garage - follow that (A64) until you hit the A1M, turn onto the A1M south, follow that until you hit M1 south, follow that to Nottingham :lol:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:49 am

I got home quicker going the way I went I found and a bit more fun testing out the new mods round the corners :lol:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:11 am

**Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:05 am

Got loads to do Chris, it's almost endless, but what's next is:
