Spent 3 whole days working on the car and i know i WILL have a bloody good nights sleep tonight.

 

Stripped the front of the engine as far back as under the timing belt covers.

Found the cause of my water leak (see pic).

Fitted adjustable tension rods, front upper arms and front ARB.

Fitted front and rear coilovers and spent hours messing about with them to get them set up.

Got halfway through fitting hicas eliminator and realised i dont have spanner big enough for the tie rods :rolleyes:

 

Still got loads to do!

 

Im now just so physically and mentally drained from all the work, in between running in and out the house to check torque settings lol

 

A few pics...
