Alun may have posted a picture on Facebook of me trying to undo wheel nuts with a pipe wrench but I am a competent mechanic! Honest!
Brakes are all on correctly including the little clips, Steve's right they only go on one way.
Can someone sanity check me here, is the adjuster is the right way round? This is the OS (drivers side) rear brake.
I took off the bumper ready for welding. The front end is a bit more rotten than first thought. The main areas that need attention are just from previous repairs that need re-doing properly. There's mig wire sticking out everywhere plus a massive blob of weld which is why the headlight surround never fitted properly. God knows who welded it, probably the same lazy bugger who taped around the badges rather than removing them when they sprayed the car. This may not be a concours car but I am still going to do a proper job treating the rust.
It looks like someone ran out of body filler so went down to Homebase and bought a tub of polyfiller.
I think that headlight panel may need to come off to do a proper job of it.
As all that is required for the MOT with the rest of the car is reassembly of bits, plus I am waiting for some things, rad, pipe clips etc... I'm going to devote more time to sorting out this front end.
So I think the next thing I'm going to do is attack that front end and strip all the paint off the corners so we can see what we are really dealing with.
