thanks to fraz for helping out swap my suspension, springs and discs from my green v6 to the new red v6! and dam was it hot 30o+ not a good idea to do this sort of job in that type of heat
hope you enjoyed lunch and your dinner fraz... :mrgreen:

believe it or not i did do most of the work myself and just got told what to do!

i can now say i will NEVER do that again!! well the front 1`s...lol

why not??? you now know how to change a strut , brakes and the drop links. It was easy enough ..could have been lot quicker if I had just went in and did it all....but you would not know now what you do

and yes lunch was good, nowt wrong with a Greggs Dinner you need to work on though....much better at the hot :D

Are you willing to break your green V6 mate ?

I need a front bumper, got a pristine red 'V' one here but to save the cost of spraying it i'd prefer to buy a green one !!!
