There’s a few things gone on recently. After finding a weeping brake line I decided to change all of them for braided lines. I flushed the system and filled it with 5.1 fluid. Front discs and pads changed and also new caliper pins and clips.
replaced both front drop links.
fitted some Kanju bonnet and boot struts. I must admit, I’m impressed with the rear as the assisting springs open the boot from pressing the button with out lifting it.
the bonnet dampers were a little big of a pain. Due to the pedestrian popper hinges I had to dress back the plug welds on the hinge to get the dampers to fit. After that, it was a straight install and they work great.
next came the mess in the engine bay. The previous owner clearly never cleaned bothered cleaning it. I ended up using G3 to take all the grime off. Once that was done, I did a bit of a wire tuck on the ugly cabling that came across the strut towers. It looks a world better now.
Twken the strut brace off and a couple of other brackets to go into work for a fresh powder coat in white and I’ll reassemble it all. I’ll post some pics in a bit 😁
