[archer5830]

So, when you watch you tube or any video showing you how its done, take my word it looks easier than it is.
Hi guys i have had an exiting week recieving all my parts, havnt had much sleep however as they were delivered in afternoons, (i work nights) but the excitment kept me up too.
I have decided to work on the mechanical parts of car at weekends and im booking a week off work to put the body on.
So after working a night shift friday night i was keen to get started so went straight to my old mans where the car is.
I got the car up onto axle stands and started striping wheels, brakes, and suspension, right side first. I have replaced most parts and have removed rust and repainted with an underseal which makes the arches look brand new, well chuffed.
This was exctremely difficult on my own and i did need help from my dad at some points however when he was not available i was very creative with a rope and crowbar. If you want me to explain more if your doing same i will happily go into detail.
My calipers were looking tatty so decided to paint them, apparently red makes your car go faster, time will tell.
I also changed the brake pads, front pads were easy and you tube got me through that one, different story on rear pads, i had to call mechanic friend to advise and show me on one set so i could then do the left hand rear. after all im doing this to learn so the more i do myself the better.
so after one weekend ive change the suspension, pads and discs and given arches and wishbones a good clean up, oh this is as well as trying to help organize my wedding with my fiance rachael, we`ve chosen peach and cream flowers if your interested.
will upload more pics as soon as ive posted this, can only do 5 at a time.
take care guys and will post more next weekend.
thanks
Tom
