While clearing the shed last weekend I came across the tool kit that came with my Lada, even had a tyre lever, welcome to borrow it if you want.

These tyres do look good, and they are the new drift model.

demon tweeks sell them.........http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...-z1-drift-tyre

Funny thing is they have the same tyre for £198 each whereas I paid under £240 for all four!

Today I managed to get the tyres fitted.

Brakes were delivered, as too the HEL braided hoses.











Also managed to do some work this evening, freed off both rear brake hoses. Had to get a disc cutter and use a power saw to get through the seized inner LCA mount.

Partially stripped and cleaned the rear calipers.

Also found that the anti-roll bar coating is coming off, so looks like I may have to remove the bar, strip it and get it powder coated. Might pay to get a set of polybushes for it.

Gina can get her hands on an arch roller this weekend as her local vdub specialist has one in the shop I can use apparently.

Thanks Sam, alas it won't be ready for Duxford as running out of time and not wanting to rush things. So I'll be taking my time and getting it finished for the end of July most likely. May as well clean and paint a few bits along the way.

Today:
  • Trip to B&Q and Pro-Parts to get paint, wire wheel, 10" metal cutting disc, WD40, degreaser.
  • Ground nearside LCA inner mount through, had to make a thin spanner for the angle grinder as it disappeared in the abyss of the garage.
  • Painted disc hubs and edges, needs another coat. Saves them getting rusty looking in time.
  • Rear ARB removed, needs the coating removed as flaky and horrible, grind off rust and then paint.
  • Need to purchase rear ARB polybush kit.
  • Gina dropped off an arch roller for me to use, good stuff!
  • Rear calipers cleaned, part painted and freed up, re-greased etc.
  • Have replacement bolts for the LCAs, plenty of copperslip for them on assembly!
  • Having a break then back out again..........
