After a seemingly long weekend of work, the car is now sitting low on its cut down springs. On Saturday Richard removed, cut and replaced the rear springs. He replaced the rear ARB droplinks, and also the rear toe arms. All the work was done inside the garages in the dry and comparative warmth.

On the clear and sunny Sunday further work consisted of changing the brake pads front and rear, and the bleeding of the system to ensure fresh fluid going to the calipers.

The dent in the passenger side front wing was also smoothed out, and some primer sprayed on to temporarily prevent rust. The wing will soon receive a skim of filler and some more paint to return it to its former glory. The rear arches and rear valance also require similar treatment due to some rust bubbling under the paint.

Many thanks to Darren who although feeling poorly from a bad cold, did the work on the brakes and shared the work on the dented wing. A dedicated motorsport enthusiast!
