So much agro for the sake of £40 from argos, 12v RAC impact gun. GO GET ONE! lol.

The thread at the top should have an allen key bit, or if its adjustable up the top, under the adjuster there should be a flat bit before the thread, spanner goes on there. Dont think i got any close ups of my coilover thread, but im sure yours would have it too. Be silly not to!

and yeah I. Have a flat bit for a small screwdriver

ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES FOR YOU ISNT IT!

Yes caps lock WAS necessary

Piss take!
At least the car can be moved. Not looking foward to swapping the drop links over now But i've ordered one. Once the shock gets back to me its all fun and games again!

_________________

It'll be alright! At least the shock will be all nice and refurbished when you get it back Did you get any other bits from euro's or just the drop link?

_________________

Just the drop link for now, as I don't know how much its gonna cost for gaz, or how much money I have!
One problem being the shock where its polished has a few marks on it from where grips have been used to stop the shock spinning.. Which is bad right? That, and the fact the plate that attaches the drop link thread is bent.. They might just say its beyond repair and I need a new one I'm not looking foward to an email like that

_________________

You used grips to stop the piston spinning around

To be honest, they might just give you a new one of them, which will add to the price I expect, might not though.

The bracket can be fixed with a hammer - let them do it though if they are going to lol.

At the end of the day, they will make it servicable for you, if not, they will let you know. Im sure it will be alright though!

_________________

£150 for a new damper so hoping its ok, my friend used it on there and hes a mechanic, but he said it was on the bit that was ok to do it

_________________

Tbh, none of the piston is ok to do it on. Unless its well protected. Like a penis going into a cave of STD's

So a smalllll update, I have bought some paint and I am spraying some interior plastics purple. Will try and get it done in the next couple days, seeing as the cars not being driven at the moment anyway, should be fun

_________________

Should look interesting

Hopefully it'll blend in nicely whilst still standing out a bit better than the boring colour.

Heres my start



I've done the speedo surround as well, but I just did another coat before putting it in the car as I had a bit of a patch I missed and covered up a small run Will see how they turn out tommorow morning and i'll either sand and prime again or crack on with paint
