Time for a tidy up. Can actually see the convertible again now.

Backspace seems ok on these minilight wheels I bought.

5.5" x 13" backspace 107.8mm 4 inch pcd sitting on 175x50x13 tyres

Looks good (thumbs up)

definitely need a thumbs up option on here like FB. Think this is available on later versions of phpBB. When I get chance I will download a local backup and see if I can integrate a later version.

seeing as I am going to be under the car a bit I've decided to get a scissor lift. One for Rich .....

Looked on the floor and it looks like my Midas has an oil based nose bleed from being too high.. courtesy of the usual gearbox oil seal.

It's weird seeing it all back to front....

I've toyed with the idea of getting one of those for a while, this week I finally got my Gold into a dry-ish environment.

Yes I knnow what you mean.

I've been mulling over the idea for a while myself Rich and just thought just do it. It does take the mickey out of getting under the car for sure. I have it wired into my 16A commando circuit.

Waiting on sorting out the back subframe set up once I get hold of some stub axles for the arms from Alan. This should make the job light work.

Simultaneously drilling out the 1/2" UNF rod ends for the Ti trailing arm setup, re-threading and moving up to some HQ 5/8" UNF rod ends as a back up plan. Looking at getting a new odyssey battery. the last one is now shot. Surprisingly the pit battery I have is still going strong after 15 years. Trying to source some rear subframes is proving to be interesting.

The lift looks very useful David. (thumbs up)

Thanks Stuart. Just need a couple of 7" x 2" long planks (or probably scaffolding boards) to jack it up a touch to avoid the exhaust grounding on anything (just in case).
