Today I did a full colour code on an Octavia vrs the snow didn't help make the finish perfect but the owner was more than happy I'm just annoyed I didn't get to take it out for a spin round the block again thanks to the snow lol

Fitted front disks, pads and callipers, pedal actually has some feel in it now.

On inspection the old disks were in fact new unfortunately the dial indicator showed the N/S one had warped due to the sticky calliper. The pads were well worn on the N/S and fairly new on the other.

All ready for MOT on Tuesday - I think a couple of front dampers will be needed?

Thanks to my garage log burner I got some bits done on the car today in the warmth.

Continued smoothing the engine bay and stripped down ready for spraying next weekend.

Can someone do me a favour and tell me if the rear speaker wires come from above or below the rear shelf. I need to use them for something but I've tucked them away and don't know where to start finding them.

Matt law came over and swapped my front hub over. We're halfway through the timing belt, but due to a slight tool miscalculation it's going to be finished tomorrow.

There are some pretty shocking photos of how bad the state of the car was! As soon as I can get to a press, I'll be able to fit the bigger brakes as well, winrar.

I cut up the SXE10 Crew sick bucket with an angle grinder ... Or part of it anyway, ready for stav coming on Sunday.

I also removed the metal pedals from the sick bucket and fitted them to my IS.

Much better!
