Hi folks

Never opened a thread in this subforum, but i´ve decided to start doing something in the car, otherwise, i'll probably lose the interestet once i had the car parked for about a year. So, here is my thread and i'll hope to get it updated every once and a while.

By now it will only be about little things I have to do on the car. The big part, will come in a year or so, no rush and depends on my savings though.

Last saturday was quite a day. Things started bad, as we took all the morning to take out the wheels. YEAH IT'S TRUE. I´ll explain: i got my rims painted, and I thought that at that shop some comon sense it's used, but when they got coated, the center diameter is reduced a bit, BUT I NEVER EXPECTED OR THOUGHT ABOUT IT, and when i got the rims in the car, they didn´t slip in, they were kind of forced. When the time to take'em out came, they didn't want to. After lots of hamering and some silly engineering, we loosen the bolts and head to the nearest roundabout. Two laps and it was it. The wheels came loose.

Now to the work.

Work sheet:
Brakes mainly: caliper rebuild kits, new rotors and pads all around, brake fluid and bleed.
Gear shift lever: Replace the rubers.
L/f turn signal: didn't work properly.

Pics later, as i need to do some reducing work. They're not good, but it was the only camera arround, so....
