Oh balls. I didn't get the reply so maybe either it or I failed. Most likely me. Thanks for the info though, I might have to make an adaptor of look for another wheel. I'm sure there's something else on your list I can get excited over though :)

Looking nice. It's very satisfying sorting out all the problems and making your car better isn't it. Your mates Polo is spot on too, lovely lows. On the insurance front, remember, any modifications you make from how your car came from the factory are considered modifications to standard. If they...

I think a quick welding job on the car would be £20ish if it can be got at easily. Try calling in at the nearest independant garage and ask.

I say, Skymera, Did you get my pm about your steering wheel?

I've just received the steering wheel boss through the post having only asked for it two days ago (a Sunday) which is a fantastic response from Skymera. Thank you.

Also, remember that your lenses have to be E-marked.

Hi Borislav, Your Micra is nice, and a good shine too! The wheels work nicely too. Your English is so much better than my Bulgarian!

Back to the spring thing ('cos I'm keeping Ginger for myself whatever you think), even though cutting them is fine and works very well, some cars just don't ride so well on cut springs. Generally, larger, heavier cars are more comfortable on cut springs, smaller cars do seem to be a bit more...

Damn. I thought she was all mine.

No problem Spade. Every little helps. To inspire you, my ten year old daughter is currently up to her elbows stripping a mountain bike for a rebuild. She's not quite up to welding, but it won't be long!

This must be one of the most discussed and misunderstood subjects on the internet. This and who was the best Spice Girl.....

Well, you need a decent Mig welder, grinder, some steel plate to match the weight of the car's own panels and lots of practice on scrap pieces first. Sounds easy, and in principle it is. I learned how to weld by doing sills on a Manta I had many years ago. Now I'm OK at it and launch into...

Looks good^. Are the studs on the struts just long enough for simply bolting it on then?

Ooh ta! Best I get some ordered then.

A nice start Chris. Simply fixing all the little faults and cleaning the life out it can make a world of difference. I'm after paint myself for mine (the same colour as yours) so if I get a code I'll let you know.

Spade, consider buying the tools and doing the work yourself. It's a fun project and quite addictive once you start!

@Belly93 - that's a cheap re-spray! Does it include all the prep and masking? Are you going for a colour change or a freshening up of the same colour you have now?

Never mind the mathematics, get the grinder out!

Well..........a bit, but then I'd be playing with camber too and there's only so much time in the day! The shadows are already suspect (sorry Cliff) and the wheels are only just right. If I'm 'shopping then it's got to be right.
