Orc:
Matt......updates?
M4T VW:
I have been so busy with this car and work since Christmas that I have had no time to write any updates. We have lots of catching up to do for the past 3 months so I will try and type the updates up over the next few weeks. I have uploaded over 100 photos just for the past 3 months of work!
Firstly, I’m not one to sit around in the winter months so several weekends were spent in the unit building different components and mocking things up in prep for the final assembly. A nice easy one to do was assemble the refurbished rear axle and put in the new Superpro bushes. It’s a satisfying job to do, putting a new bush into the hole (no pun intended) but that silicone grease they supply gets everywhere! You can’t really wear gloves with it because it’s sort of sticky and if you don’t wear gloves you have to wash your hands 10 times before everything stops slipping out of your hands! Still, got there in the end and it looks great! Thanks to Henry and Jamie at Jtech Automotive for the superpro kit and also the advice on fitting.
Handy to have a workbench to do it on. I had to dust this off it had been sitting around for so long.
All the bushes ready to go. I used a laptop with the Superpro website on so i could see where each part number went.
Some already done, Working out the others.
All done! New bolts, washers and nuts used everywhere apart from the one on the top trailing arm as i forgot to order that one. I have since changed it for a new bolt.
