Thanks

Sunstorm now off the road

Last month my bottom ball joint went on me and had to be recovered home. It's now sorn off road and stripping it all down at the front and changing all ball joints and generally refreshing the car. Long old job but hoping to get her back on the road in the next 4 months. Then will possibly sell.

Re: Replacing wishbones

Is taking the subframe out a hard job to do or is it just time consuming? Many thanks

New clutch

Hi peeps, my clutch biting point is at the top of the pedal and it started to slip Friday so iv booked it in to we love Mgf's just around the corner from me. Now quick question, will it be the clutch or will the release arm have a part to play in it?
Thank you.
