Finished Header install!!!

It was actually not as tough as i thought it would be. Would of been easier if i didn't break-off a bolt.


Lesson Learned: More PB Blaster, "New" Header Bolts and Ratcheting Wrenches are COOL!

Seafoamed and it worked great. Smoother idle and better acceleration. Finished my 2" RC lift by putting the coil spacers in and while doing that I snapped both sway bar end links. Got some serious body roll around turns now, but great for offroad flexing.

New front UJoints
Didn't do them myself because I have 10 thumbs, but its a relief knowing those crusty banging old POS are out of there. Garage said they definitely should not have passed the MOT inspection that was supposedly done a month before we bought it....

and its snowing! Well worth £199 inc VAT.
