[QUOTE="Jen319, post: 625554, member: 14474"] yeah, that's pretty much it ^_^ ...he picked up the massive engine hoist from work today...so hopefully we'll be able to hitch it and turn it around so we can start digging to lay more concrete behind my baby.... *fingers crossed* maybe I should post some...like...[I]actual[/I] stuff in my thread? LOL Just a couple of things...When I[I] first[/I] got my carin 2009...we took off each wheel cleaned it, polished it and put it back on. ...this makes it a [I]million[/I] times easier to clean next time... dad did my front brakes, discs and pads (which I will post up soon)..so we had the front wheels off...so I cleaned them and polished them again ;) ...[B]Before[/B]: [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z110/Sai_art/Car2/DSC00667_zps28044cc0.jpg[/IMG] ...[B]After[/B]: [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z110/Sai_art/Car2/DSC00672_zpse570c962.jpg[/IMG] also...while we had the wheels off...I re-painted my callipers...I [I]still[/I] had the little tin from Halfords and it [B]still[/B] works great...3 years later! o_O just gave the tin a shake and the paint a good old stir...sorted...proper job :p They were looking pretty sorry for themselves, chipped, pitted and faded...a bit <_< [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z110/Sai_art/Car2/DSC00682_zpsce4f8c5a.jpg[/IMG] Had a go at them the the wire brush and used Meths to remove any left over grease, dirt and brake dust etc...then got my small, soft bristtle brush, and did 3 coats, carefully covering the previous paint, but adding to bits I missed last time ;) [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z110/Sai_art/Car2/DSC00683_zpsbe2ce5c0.jpg[/IMG] Good as new :D [/QUOTE]
