Get there to find that where the wishbone bolts to the car, has a rather large crack all the way round the chassis :dash:

My mates threatening to weld it up, for me it'll never be right ...

Fresh wheels

Havent used the rocco in a while, started on the button though, given the suspension a freshen up, dug out some wheels I had lying about and gave them to the powdercoater. Arches are getting done monday with any luck, then it needs dropping a touch and some spacers on the rear.

Re: Bush Storm

This bloody scirocco is driving me mad. It just plain doesnt like me.

So I fitted some special PhilJ coilovers, all was fine except the tyre rubbing on them. Sorted that out by raising it right up and adjusting the camber untill the new wheels turn up.

Track rod ends

Just fitted some coilovers, went to do the track rod ends on the storm, and one side is pressed onto the arm? Euro wrong parts gave me both ends with threads... Does the whole arm have to be replaced on that side?
