Well, just thought I'd update on how well
the work has been going over the past week or so with my Christmas Pressie..
First though I must thank all the contributors to the How To guides as they have saved me from much cursing during my adventures!
I assume that this is typical with TF's but the moment I started work on some of the more simple tasks I discovered that there was more challenges hiding behind each task.
First discovery when assessing how to fit the new St Stl front mounts was that someone in their infinite wisdom (or maybe to get through the recent MOT) had painted over, with bitumen seal, various holes in the wishbones along with masking holes in the rubber boots on some of the ball joints!
So the shopping list has now grown ever so slightly to include:
Front Wishbones.
TRE's
Front Ball joints.
But at least I've changed the badly corroded coolant pipes and stripped off all the ARB's etc ready for stripping and powder coating.
I can certainly see how it can become an addiction trying to keep a TF on the road and I have to admire all of you out there who have gone through the pain barrier every time an MOT is due.
Be back to you later when I've discovered more of my TF's hidden mysteries.
