I have been working on my car for the last two months trying to get it back to a decent state for the next outback adventure. YAY for my wheel bearings and ball joints arriving.

Will be taking the mini to Kings Canyon this weekend if i get it all finished.

Vote +1 if your also happy you have everything to work on your car this weekend.

YAY :D :D :D :D YAY

well i had success so far.

i had to take the outer hub up the road to remove the old bearing, it was siezed on there solid. I got the front bearings in.

installed the quadoptics after just confusing myself, taking a break and seeing how easy it actually was.

installed some air horns, now youll hear me damn it.

now i need to sort out the clutch, damn thing has never had enough press in it.

tried to remove front ball joint on the top of the hub, 38mm socket isnt damn long enough. GRRR, went to shop to buy one, not only expensive, couldnt find one anywhere.

and when i was at the tool shop i spoilt myself on a set of imperial kinchrome shifter spanners. Made my weekend a joy :D :D

They are... The bomb!

Awesome finish, very happy!

Fast delivery easy to deal with, perfect finish on the rims.. pitty they run a plastic centre cap, but original spec ones are on there way!

Very happy!
