    Nothing

    Cat bypass pipes were put back onto today, had a good all over detail, arches, engine bay, wax then put to bed. Just needs a hoover before Saturday.

        Trying to change the passenger side ball joint but everything is very stiff atm.

        Does anyone know part numbers for the ball joint to strut retaining bolt and nut numbers so I can get one in case I have to maul the existing one?

                Yeah I've given it a few taps with a hammer tonight and some more penetrating oil. Also there are replacement bolts with the lemforder ball joints I have [emoji2] back to that tomorrow evening

                  Having the driver's seat re-trimmed in new Alcantara this week, but as I was reversing the car out of the garage a ladder that was lying on the floor garage fell over onto the side of the car, so the front wheel is also being refurbished this week. Didn't really get a chance to take a proper look at the side of the car, but it may also need to go into the body shop after ADI.

                        Breaker bar and hang off it. Doesn't matter if it shears off. Tap old one out with punch and then refit easily with new shiny nut and bolt.
