1 costs me enough as it is!

need to get the horn fixed next, then the rust on the arch sorted during summer when i go on hols so i can leave it at the garage...

also need to def find whats the noise from the diff. (been making it for 30,000 now so not too bad i imagine)

things to fit during feb: blacked out grill, smoked indicators, side repeators, depo lights w halo rings ;)

and the brakes? ;)

what noise are you getting from the diff? change the fluid to a nice synthetic and let it go. even mine would have likely lasted a long time further had i just let it go (after the halfshaft popped out and got dirt in there and was leaking fluid - started to whine).

clean which part of the pistons? outer machined part: something like emery cloth (VERY VERY FINE - you don't want anything close to course grit) if you have any rust, inner: wire brush or whatever you want - the machined surface is all you really need to be careful with. then spray it down with brake parts cleaner.

inside and outer lip really. the outer machine part that fits in the bore is in perfect cond. wish that could be said about the rest of it.... heh

got to order every part new for the rebuild bar the callipers, carriers, and pad holder that fits over the carrier. gonna be fun going through the part numbers.....

which parts? caliper guide pins and rubber bushings? the caliper rebuild kits come with the seals for the piston.

Yeah thats how my car looks and i don't like it. I've been thinking about smoke corners cause it will blend in with the headlights better.
