Send said document to me Nafe

Electronically of course, by whatever means you deem suitable (just covering myself incase I am being too vague for your obviously sharp intellect )

[NafemanNathan]

I could maybe call you and read it to you, but like I said I don't speak or read German, so that might be a bit of a ball's ache




Or you could maybe PM me your email address

Well blimey, even with pretty shot rear upper arms the back end feels so planted compared to how it was! The back end used to skip sideways over manhole covers if ever I was going around a bend... Not anymore

I've got the dampening set halfway on them. Feels nice and firm... and attached to the rest of the car now

[NafemanNathan]

Well I may well have my work cut out for me yet again, as courtesy of @Hondaboy I had all this lot turn up today...











Cheers Hondaboy! (Great chap )

The plan is to de-rust the lot, get it all painted and then poly-bush everything!

My MOT is due on the 10th of this month and a lot of my bushes are shot, particularly the rear upper arms. I'm obviously not going to have this lot ready for then, so I just have to hope my MOTer will be lenient with the promise that I'm on it

Your very welcome mate and yeah good luck with the clean up should have done a bit b4 posting would have saved a few quid on weight

[honda-hardy]

nathan. i could shot blast this lot for you.

[NafemanNathan]

Nathan. I could shot blast this lot for you.

That'd be fantastic Sam! I was going to take them to a powder-coaters I've used before who can blast them first, then I was going to ask for them back before painting to treat them. But if I can get you to blast them I can then use my mates Dad's powder-coating company (who doesn't have blasting facilities) and he can hopefully do them on the side a bit cheaper

I'll get Sam to save all the rust so we can weigh it

Nice one.

What happened with your steering rack in the end btw?

[NafemanNathan]

It's still holding in there The play hasn't got any worse. I've got a replacement to go in and I've even got a Honda mechanic lined up to fit it with cash in hand, but I'm wanting to wait until all the bushes are done and all the coilovers are fitted, and she's set at her final height before the rack swap, as he's going to do the tracking and wheel alignment at the same time.

Also I've been quite fortunate in that a SuperPro dealer just so happens to be based in the same village I work in (The one on ebay). He's given me a good price on the full bush kit, and although I can't afford just yet (As it's still frikin expensive!) he's allowing me to have just the rear upper bushes right away, as these are the ones I think will fail the MOT. I've even got a third set of rear upper arms that I can simply and quickly get cleaned up and hopefully have the bush housings powder-coated to fit in time for a retest if they're needed.

It looks like you are going to be busy with all that lot
