Rexanne - Gold s2 restoration project

[CHC (RIP)]

I had to pay £38 of import taxes on them. Worked out, including the shared taxes, to £140 each for Ian and I. So fairly cheap, but it has taken a few weeks to get here.

Darn good price that despite the time factor.
I also noticed that your got new stabiliser bolts/spacers/nuts with your anti-roll bar bushes - I had to buy new ones from the agent which ran to another £40 thereabouts.  So my final cost was £255 inclusive of next day delivery service.  Still I\'m very pleased with the quality of the new bushes :Thumbs-up.

I didn\'t realise it included the hardware either till it arrived!
 
I got these back from Bill today. He\'s put far too much effort into making them adjustable so I can work how how much shorter than original I need them to reduce the binding on my lowered suspension.
 
Once I\'ve worked out what length I need, he and I will make up some new links from scratch.
 

Good to see Bill being as thorough as ever - hang on to him, he\'s worth his weight in gold.

Who\'s Bill? Have I missed him? He seems like a good guy.

Bill is the welder/fabricator/engineer who works with my dad, and who did all the fabrication on my rotary mx5. The quality of work he produces is astounding, the sort of stuff you only see from people who\'ve been making precision machinery for decades, which is exactly the situation!

He\'s also who I\'ve been working with and learning from when I did a couple of days casual work for my dad when they were mega busy.

Well a couple of guys from Autolink, an MX5 specialist breakers/restorers, drove the mx7 away this afternoon.

So I\'m gonna drop Billy at Re-Speed some emails shortly!!!!! Dampers, adjustable height springs, camber plates and stiffer roll bars, and maybe the FC brake conversion parts will be winging their way to me soon hopefully ! :3gears-lh

Done some painting yesterday, will upload pictures later, but it\'s been too cold and damp here today to do much more.

ThY stuff you have Jon may be re speed. You are a hoarder. Where did you get that from. Me thinks perhaps we need to put together a 1st gen for 1/4 mile work. You know, big brap brap engine and say wayhey look how good I am. There is more to.a car than horse power. Oops sorry there I go off topic.

Fair play, although when I saw the topic notification and I couldn\'t see the image I half expected a pic of a bridgey 13b!
