Cally back home :)

woohoo i got my cally back on monday night, it has been off the road 3 weeks, and although i never got any money from MOT center that F*cked me (they have been shut down by VOSA already) i got all the parts and got them fitted. It is running like a dream the gear changes are light as air it has a lot more power and feels much more solid on the road.

off the top of my head it has had new clutch,clutch cable, track rod ends wishbones, droplinks rear disks and calipers, brake lines throughout, fuel lines throughout, ABS rings etc, hand brake cable, gaskets throughout, exhaust and hangers welded, sump plug lol (took 4 hours to get out)
The list goes on and on, yes i have spend more doing the work to get it running up to scratch than i did buying the car and a lot of people will argue it was not worth it, but im very happy i did, the car is pretty much new underneath and will last me many many years of exiting driving :)

all that needs done is the blowers as they dont blow which will be mental for the winter but will need to look a lot more into that one :( and maybe a new set of 17" as 2 of mine are "distorted" and get the tacking done

but happy happy its drivable safe and great fun :)
