Thanks mate :agree:
Good update :)
Brass bleed screws FTW. Not the price of them tho!
Cheers :agree: wanted to do some more today but it's pissing down :mad:
Yeah the brass bleed screws are much better mate but as you said not cheap for what they are
It pays to lube/spray the dizzy cap points and rotor arm with some WD40 :)
Looks really smart :agree:
Ok mate thanks for the tip will do that :agree:
got some door cards the other week some phase 1 rears as mine are sagging phase 2 type and some phase 1 fronts refurbished by the previous owner just waiting on some new speakers then i will fit them when i have the time

The bolt caps are part of the wiper arm.
Coming along nicely mate.
:agree: nice one for the stickers GTTurbo mate will get it fitted soon :)
Good stuff mate. If you are struggling for wiper caps I am sure I have a couple knocking around for you, just cover postage and there yours.
That would be great mate let me know how much you want
Nice work fella, keeping busy ;) out of interest where and how much were Avo coil springs? cheers :agree: :)
Dre, sorry mate bit confused is it the caps that cover the 10mm nuts or the caps for the end of the blade that holds the blade on?
I will have a look Dre :)
They are riveted on from memory, got some in the unit will have a look
They are, see attached picture
Nice 1, as they do go back on but easily pop off.
Yeah easy pop off style :agree:
Now just got to source some front shocks as mine are fooked :(
got some HT lead clips
http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/...psb92e25a2.jpg
http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/...pse3c3d626.jpg
wanted to change my springs today but it looks like one of my shocks has had it plus i couldn't believe the amount of floating with the springs that were in there :eek: i did hear clocking noise now a ten now know why
i have read that lowering springs with the phase 1 set up can be a bitch the new Avo springs look near on identical as the spax so i need to get some new front shocks and sell these new springs :rolleyes: or get coilovers and sell both sets
never even needed spring compressors to take off :sad2:

you can see the difference in the phase 1 and phase 2 top mounts. The bottom half is the exact same on both phase's its the top that's different.
http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/...psd62f4eb2.jpg
http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/...psdfbfc20d.jpg
so i just used the bottom half off the phase 1 and im going to clean up the top half off the phase 2. Not got much else done, in no rush as the car is off the road anyway.
