Also been loving my new camera
Here is a little doggo video I used as practice.


However in a short time I've manager to get the hang of bits.
 
Well might be another update coming along shortly. I'm having some more issues with the clutch when I'm pressing on a little I keep losing my clutch the pedal doesn't return properly I can pump it and it's fine. I've also bleed it and can't seam to get clean fluid out of it. I made a peep hole and it looks like my slave is leaking again so new clutch again 3rd one in 8 years
 
Well took longer than expected but it always does this time however I have run in to several issues which sucked.. Firstly my passenger side lower ball joint didn't want to come out and when I heated it up well we know what happens when things get hot I melted the ball joint so I need another one of them. The joys and then my uj on my steering wheel was a complete pig to remove and had to grind the bolt off. Not ideal. Then I went to my pals to go and mod his new car. But came home and finished taking the box out and found this..

I'm not to sure the slave should be like this. Also was weird I found the rubber boot on top of the subframe God knows how it got there..
 
So small update yesterday I spent the night stripping the subframe and eating easter eggs so didnt get much done. 20230418_205228.jpg20230419_194450.jpg

New ball joint and everything back together and esp/abs light comes on. Nothing unusual so took it round the block and it didn't turn off however when going back onto the drive I heard a crack from the steering and boom airbag light on.. So I removed the airbag code so I could focus on the other lights took my wheel off and a sensor was in plugged thank God that was easy now I just have no traction control and a check esp light every now and then I've ordered a new squib as it's going to be that and then hopefully I can enjoy it again lol

New bushes are ok you can hear the vibration slightly.
