Next week
Install new Front Swaybar Poly Bushes
Install new Front Swaybar Whiteline Adjustable Droplinks
Order New Tie Rod Ends
Adjust Front Coilovers Higher
Clean and rubberize Front Wheel Arches
This should compliment the already new LCA Bushes, Wheel Bearings and Balljoints in the front

Re: silverGPXs Ride
Well progress has halted due to me having to buy two Davies Craig fans to fit the oil cooler lines in with our rubbing hardout on sh*t.
However got the interior bits out and the sump drained.
