Just done the interior light upgrade... well, the FRONT anyway!

Now gotta order some more LED Festoons, as I realise there's 2 in the rear interior lamp lenses...

Also gotta figure out posibilities for upgrading the remaining "yellow" filament map lights...

It's only flat at the bottom jack :lol:

Adjusted the Camber on the front after a 3 year battle with Ford saying it can't be done.
Did in around an hour. Have checked it using black hawk measuring equipment all sorted :D

:lol: :lol:

it was folded under! lucky i stopped when i did the rim was sitting about 5mm from the floor!!

all sorted now, story is, full lock on a steep hill, tyre rubbed the shock and pushed in the side wall a little leaking some air, an hour later and it was flat and didn't notice!!

so today, some 5mm spacers, trip to my uncles trye place, re-fit and track..


Front:

drivers +4!
passenger -3!

all reset now and sorted, and a lesson learnt, must fix spare wheel carrier, had to wait an hour for my dad to drop me the spare! :roll:
