(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) I wanted to adjust the ride heights but the spring seats and lock rings on the Tein coilovers were not in the best condition. So i thought I’d machine some replacements that should last a lot longer than the original Tein parts. one underway… all 4 for […]
Jem’s dad was having his kitchen surfaces replaced so guess who got the old ones. Some old roof timbers, some spare OSB and some coach bolts to put the basic structure together. Kitchen worktop cut down to fit on top. A couple of vices fitted. This wasn’t really planned but I had […]
